Using AWS Elastic Beanstalk with a Java/BlazeDS/Spring application

Question

Is it possible to deploy my Spring/BlazeDS/Java application to elastic beanstalk? I'm using MyEclipse and built a Java Web Project with the required jar files etc. Do you need to specifically create an AWS Java Web Project - reason I ask is the options to include the BlazeDS files aren't there - so I'm wondering if Spring / BlazeDS is even supported? By default the turnkey blazeds runs through Port 8400 - so I imagine there are some additional tasks required to configure the endpoints to work through port 80?

Gracias!

Take a look at this example. Will be trying something similar over the next few weeks.

BlazeDS is not a standalone application, it consists from a bunch of jar files which should be added to your web application. You will also need to declare a servlet in the web.xml file. I wrote an article a couple of years ago how to add the blazeds jar files to a java web application (and what to configure), you can take a look here .
