Getting Started

To install this example application, run the following commands:

There are three projects inside this repository:

• initial-version: Contains the endpoint without any authorization
• secure-version: Adds basic authorization to protect the endpoint
• final-version: Change the authorization to use OAuth 2.0 and Okta's API

Choose the project you want to build and run inside the project's folder:

./mvnw install
