You have just created a simple Spring Boot project in Groovy incorporating the Actuator. This includes everything you need to run the application. In this case, that's a simple JSON endpoint.
In this project you get:
- A Gradle build file
- An application class,
SampleApplication, implementing a single JSON endpoint - A JUnit test case for
SampleApplication
You can build and run this sample using Gradle (>1.6):
$ gradle run
If you want to run the application outside of Gradle, then first build the JARs
and then use the java command:
$ gradle build
$ java -jar build/libs/*.jar
Then access the app via a browser (or curl) on http://localhost:8080.
