• Spark application
• Hibernate configuration for local datasource and container managed JNDI
  • JNDI configuration
  • Local datasource configuration
  • Hibernate utilities
  • Database entity

Infrastructure Software Versions

• Spark 1.1
• Hibernate 4.2.6.Final
• Gson 2.2.4

Different test setups

• Local environment with Spark's built in embedded jetty (port=4567, context=/)
  • Start application from SparkApplication's main method
  • 'standalone' maven profile must be enabled from pom.xml
• Local environment with Tomcat maven plugin (port=8080, context=/spark)
  • Start application with maven command 'mvn clean tomcat7:run'
  • No maven profiles must be enabled
• Any servlet container with built WAR (port=any, context=/spark)
  • Create war with maven command 'mvn clean package'
  • No maven profiles must be enabled
  • Built war can be copied from /target/spark.war
• Local datasource or JNDI datasource can be configured with system property 'jndi'
