Serve JHipster & Web App with maven

Question

Hello I use JHipster like an api server and I've 2 folder ( admin & client ) I need to serve these paths and jhipster application same time.

I can build JHipster following command:

mvn -Pdev

Is need to install tomcat server as external or use maven tomcat plugin for this. How can I configure paths for multiple serving with maven ?

Because I must use same port for web app. with jhsiptser app.

My IDE/Editor : VSCode

OS: Ubuntu 16.04

I compiled JHipster project via skipping tests and dev profile My project path is: /home/Projects/new

Use this command in terminal mvn -Pdev package -Dmaven.test.skip=true

In:

$ /home/Projects/new/java$ mvn -Pdev package -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Out:

.WAR files and ROOT folder will be created in java/target/ directory.

java/target/ROOT/
java/target/ROOT.war
java/target/ROOT.war.original

Our spring-boot (jhipster) app is microservice application, only provides API access via GET/POST methods. So I need deploy admin & client webapps same time.

I followed the instructions in DigitalOcean and I installed Tomcat Server to my pc. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-16-04

Samething on OrientDB, project is using both orientdb & mariadb databases. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-orientdb-on-ubuntu-16-04

Now running Apache, Tomcat, OrientDB

And I've two folders ( client, admin ) as webapp, using Angular JS and access to jhispter(maven) app. I should deploy these same time with tomcat server.

Deploy:

1. Package the project in VSCode or anywhere ( I wrote the code top of message )

2. Copy ROOT folder to /opt/tomcat/webapps/

3. Copy admin and client folder to /opt/tomcat/webapps/

As a result, you'll see :

• admin/
• client/
• ROOT/

Then, restart tomcat server..
