Java Web Application Starter with Gradle

This is the starter set to start Java application development with Gradle using Gretty.

Runtime dependencies

You will need Java, Node.js, Gradle to run this project (or simply Docker).

Get Started

You can run ./script/start.sh to start application and go to http://localhost:8080/hello to see HelloServlet working.

You can start adding more Java Servlets under src/main/java folder to continue hacking!

Development

In brief, there are two side of story in this project: front end development and back end development.
