Standalone web application
The standalone web application is a packaging of the web application together with the Jetty web server. When the Jetty web server is started then the web application is deployed into Jetty and thus the client is available as a standlone desktop application accessed locally from a browser. The standalone web application is implemented in three Maven projects:
- pineapple-web-application-war - this project implements the web application through the usage of Spring Web MVC and the ZK framework.
- pineapple-jetty-starter - this project implements single Java class which is used to start the Jetty web server and deploys the Pineapple web application to the server.
- pineapple-standalone-web-client - this projects bundles the web application (WAR) together with the Jetty starter project and all nessecary dependecies and creates a simple Java desktop application which have no other requirements than a JDK on the machine where it is installed.
