Development

Servlet Container

Tomcat

Apache tomcat 8+ is the prefered servlet container. The mysl jdbc driver must be provided in the tomcat libs directory.

MySQL

A running MySQL server is required. By using docker this is trivial to run for development purposes.

Docker

docker run -d \
    --name vcr-mysql \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=vcr-root \
    -e MYSQL_DATABASE=vcr \
    -e MYSQL_USER=vcr-user \
    -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=vcr-password \
    -p 3306:3306 
    mysql:latest

Update the tomcat context.xml with the information provided for the MYSQL_* environment variables and the ip address of the docker host. The application uses the database according to the configuration in persistence.xml (Java Persistence API).
