Deploying Spring MVC application to Cloud Foundry from IntelliJ IDEA

I previously showed how to create a connection in IntelliJ IDEA to Cloud Foundry v2 in the post below.

http://theblasfrompas.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/intellij-idea-version-13-now-includes.html

With a Cloud Foundry CLOUD connection we can now PUSH our application directly from the IDE as shown below.

1. Create a run configuration for your project as shown below. We also specify the memory and number of instances on this page as part of the push  / deployment process.

2. Select the created run configuration and deploy the application, output as follows

3. View the deployed application on AWS hosted instance of Cloud Foundry

IntelliJ IDEA version 13 now includes CloudFoundry Connection

Just installed IntelliJ IDEA version 13 and found that it now includes a CloudFoundry connection type. You define it under IDE settings as shown below.

Will test deploying to the publicly hosted AWS Cloud Foundry using this connection at some stage.

PCF (Pivotal Cloud Foundry) cf push multiple applications using manifest file

By creating a manifest as follows we can push multiple applications in one go as shown below.

1. manifest.yml

applications:
- name: pas-props
  memory: 256M
  instances: 1
  host: pas-props
  domain: cfapps.io
  path: ./props.war
- name: pas-httpsession
  memory: 256M
  instances: 1
  host: pas-httpsession
  domain: cfapps.io
  path: ./haclusterdemo.war

2. Push as follows

PCF (Pivotal Cloud Foundry) Using the new CLI to bind services from a cf push

I previously blogged how to PUSH an application into PCF , then bind services as shown below.

http://theblasfrompas.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/i-decided-to-install-new-cf-v6-cli-for.html

If you want to do this in one step simply create a manifest file as shown below. This example isn't the spring books application but shows you what your manifest.yml would look like with services included so you could then create one similar to that below.

1. Create a manifest.yml file as follows

manifest.yml

applications:

- name: pas-springtravel 

  memory: 512M 

  instances: 1

  host: pas-springtravel 

  domain: cfapps.io 

  path: ./travel.war

  services:

  - dev-mysql

2. Push the application and bind to the services at push time.

3. The application using the MYSQL service

PCF (Pivotal Cloud Foundry) new command line client

I decided to install the new CF v6 CLI for PCF (Pivotal Cloud Foundry). Given this will be the new CLI for PCF here is how it differs to the old Ruby CLI. In this example I deploy / push a spring based application and bind it to existing services.

To download and install the new CLI v6 use the link below.

http://docs.cloudfoundry.com/docs/using/managing-apps/cf/go-cli.html

In this example we have the following 2 services that already exist and I am using the PUBLIC hosted AWS version of PCF at https://console.run.pivotal.io/

• dev-mysql
• dev-redis

1. First lets deploy our application and when we do we DON'T actually start it at this point.

[Sun Feb 16 22:23:22 papicella@:~/vmware/pivotal/products/cloud-foundry/apps/spring-books ] $ cf push pas-books -d cfapps.io -i 1 -m 512M -p springmvc31.war --no-start

Uploading from: /Users/papicella/vmware/pivotal/products/cloud-foundry/apps/spring-books/springmvc31.war

2. Bind the application to the 2 services above.

[Sun Feb 16 22:25:56 papicella@:~/vmware/pivotal/products/cloud-foundry/apps/spring-books ] $ cf bind-service pas-books dev-mysql
Binding service dev-mysql to app pas-books in org papicella-org / space development as papicella@gopivotal.com...
OK
TIP: Use 'cf push' to ensure your env variable changes take effect

[Sun Feb 16 22:25:56 papicella@:~/vmware/pivotal/products/cloud-foundry/apps/spring-books ] $ cf bind-service pas-books dev-redis
Binding service dev-redis to app pas-books in org papicella-org / space development as papicella@gopivotal.com...
OK
TIP: Use 'cf push' to ensure your env variable changes take effect

3. Push the application again and this time start it.

If all went well we should see something as follows.

And of course a running application
