This is an example of how to create a static web site with vert.x and Maven.

Pre Requisites

  • This example uses the out-of-the-box web-server module so you need a local vert.x installation See Here

Steps

  1. Create a folder for your web site, mine will be called "mywebsite".
  2. Create a folder for your web pages. Following Maven conventions mine will be "mywebsite/src/main/webapp".
  3. Create a file called index.html in the web pages folder with the following content:
    <html><body>Hello World!</body></html>
  4. Create a folder for a vert.x config file. Following Maven conventions mine will be "mywebsite/src/main/resources".
  5. Create a file called myapp.conf in the resources folder with the following content:
    { "web_root": "src/main/webapp", "port": 8081 }
  6. Create a file called POM.xml in the "mywebsite" folder with the following content but replacing vertxHomeDirectory with your vert.x home directory:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    	xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
