Java Project Deployment: Package & Deploy Guide
To package a Java project and deploy it to a server, you can follow the steps below:
- Packaging the Java project using tools like Maven or Gradle is required. Run the following command in the project’s root directory:
mvn clean package
or
gradle build
This will generate an executable jar or war file in the target or build directory.
- Upload the packaged jar or war file to the server. You can use tools like FTP, SCP, rsync, etc. to upload the file to the specified directory on the server.
- Install the Java Runtime Environment on the server. Make sure the necessary Java Runtime Environment is installed on the server. You can use the following command to check the Java version.
java -version
If Java is not installed, you can download and install Java according to the official documentation.
- Run Java project on the server. Use the following command to execute the Java project on the server:
java -jar your-project.jar
Option: Or
java -jar your-project.war
Replace your-project.jar or your-project.war with the actual file name.
- Verify if the Java project has successfully run. Visit the URL of the Java project in a browser to ensure it can be accessed and the functions provided by the Java project can be used as intended.
By following the above steps, you can successfully package and run your Java project on the server. If you have any other issues or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
