Use your implementation of the game Connect Four from the last assignment to create a web application and a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline for it. Your CI/CD pipeline should execute the following jobs:
- Build
Automatically build your web application (mvn compile) - Test
Run all tests (mvn test) - Package
Create a web application archive (*.war) file to deploy the application (mvn package) - Deploy
Run your application in a Docker container on your machine using Apache Tomcat
This assignment consists of three tasks:
Task 1.a (4 Points):
In this repository you find a project which contains a template for a simple Java Servlet and a web application. Add
your source code of the Connect Four game and the tests to this project and complete the web application. Test it locally on
your machine, either by configuring Tomcat support in the IntelliJ run configuration of the project, or by calling
mvn tomcat7:run. Verify and document that your application and all tests work as expected by executing the
different Maven goals (mvn compile, mvn test, mvn package) on the command line.
Task 1.b (10 Points):
Register yourself at GitLab (https://gitlab.com), create a new project and push the sources of your web
application to the Git repository of the project. Install a GitLab runner on your machine and register the runner
for the project, as explained in SETUP.md. Use the file named .gitlab-ci.yml in the root folder of the
repository to define a GitLab CI/CD pipeline which executes the steps described above. Document that your pipeline works
as expected.
Task 1.c (10 Points):
Register yourself at GitHub (https://github.com) and repeat the process of creating your CI/CD pipeline using GitHub
Actions. For deployment set up a self-hosted runner in a Docker container, as described in SETUP.md.
Document that your pipeline works as expected.
