Building and Executing a Fat JAR

The Ktor Gradle plugin allows to create and run an executable JAR that includes all code dependencies (fat JAR).

• Building the fat JAR: Employ the buildFatJar Gradle task provided by Ktor.

• To run the fat JAR locally, either execute the runFatJar Gradle task or use the command line. For the latter, open a terminal and navigate to the root build/libs directory, where the fat JAR is located. Execute the following command:

java.exe -jar krud-1.0.0-all.jar

Testing the fat JAR:

Upon server startup, observe the console output. Once initialization is complete, you can test the server by opening a web browser and navigating to any of the following URLs:

http://localhost:8080

http://localhost:8080/demo?page=0&size=24

http://localhost:8080/health

http://localhost:8080/rbac/login
