Hi,

This weekend I’ve migrated all the websites/mail/databases from web01 to a new freshly installed virtual server on the Leaseweb VPS cloud. If for some reason your mail login account doesnt work. Drop me a note on twitter,mail and ill give you a fresh newly created imap/pop3 password. The other services (webhosting and database) are still accessible through the old credentials. Remember this is a free service only for friends! Do not spam me with requests etc..

Introduction

Since it cost me a lot of time messing around with maven, the embedded Jetty server and the Maven appassembler plugin i’ve created a quickstart example project for personal usage of migrating my Apache CXF java projects to the Heroku Java cloud. I use Apache CXF quite often when it comes to building proxies (middleware) between 2 different platforms or API which both have their own limitations, look at salesforce.com and SAP or the Google API for example. Perhaps this might come in handy for any other person/company who wants to start migrating his Java projects to the Cloud with Heroku. Fork it here:

https://github.com/erikkramer/heroku-spring-cxf-quickstart

Explanation

• - Fork the git repository
• - To use the project in Eclipse use: ‘mvn eclipse:eclipse’, and then import it.
• - Build the project: ‘mvn install’, result should be something like this:

• - add the REPO env var to your shell: ‘export REPO=~/.m2/repository’
• - now try to start the project locally: ‘sh target/bin/webapp’, result should be something like this below, you webapp should now be running from the embedded Jetty server on port 8080. Check: http://localhost:8080/

• - Create an app on the Heroku cedar stack: ‘heroku create -s cedar’
  - Push the project to the created app and start it on the Heroku Cedar stack: ‘git push heroku master’
• - Your example app should be running now if you see something like this:

Hey there!

My lovely girlfriend and I recently moved to Amsterdam. Still doing a bit of construction now and then, but the house is getting pretty cool already! Just like we want it too be :-)

Sinds vandaag is onze nieuwe website online! Neem alvast een kijkje door naar www.zakelijkrijden.nl te surfen.

Zakelijk Rijden biedt een platform voor ritten registraties door middel van een SaaS applicatie voor web & smartphones.

My first day at a customer at age 27, getting old :(

Anyway, upcoming saturday party at my place!

mv office 1.0 /dev/null

create office 2.0

:x

done! :-)
