Can I deploy a jhipster 5.0.0-beta.0 application in azure?

Question

I have an application made with jhipster version 5.0.0-beta.0 and I try to put it in Azure as a web app and did not start

I tried to put the war with FTP. The war is named ROOT, the azure automatically extracts it but the application did not start. On local same war, I start it with the command: java -jar root.war --server.port=9402 and it started normally. On the server, I have error 404 and in the Azure application logs, I have an HTML error (HTTP Error 404.0). I tried to generate a new application like the core of this one with the same azure version (5.0.0-beta.0 ):

I put it on the server with the connection at the same SQL server where I have this generated tables: jhi_autority,jhy_persistent_autit_event,jhi_persistent_audit_event_data,jhi_redirect_token,jhi_user,jhy_authority, jhy_user_authority. I have emptied tables except for jhy_authority, jhi_user, and jhy_user_authority. Locally same war it starts (java -jar root.war --server.port=9402) and run and all is ok, on the Azure server I can't log in on the requests: /api/authentication and /api/logout request I get a 404 error.

On Azure web app, I have this configuration: - stack: java - java version: 1.8(auto-update) - java container: tomcat - java container version: 8.5(auto-update) - platform: 32bit - managed pipeline version: integrated - http version: 1.1.

I want to make this app run normally on Azure too. Other applications that I tried to upload on this web app generated with jhipster 5.8.2 and with the same database run ok. I don't want to update the jhipster on this application because I tried that but manually I think it takes weeks.

If you can run your root.war successfully via java -jar root.war --server.port=9402 on local, you can follow my steps below to deploy the same file root.war on Azure.

Here is my steps to deploy a jar file which I followed the current JHipster documents to make. It works for me.

Upload your root.war file to the path wwwroot on Azure WebApp via FTP or other ways.

Add a file named web.config to the same path wwwroot on Azure WebApp via FTP or other ways, the web.config content is as below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
            <add name="httpPlatformHandler" path="*" verb="*" modules="httpPlatformHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" />
        </handlers>
        <httpPlatform processPath="%ProgramW6432%\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin\java.exe" arguments="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dserver.port=%HTTP_PLATFORM_PORT% -jar &quot;%HOME%\site\wwwroot\root.war&quot;" stdoutLogEnabled="true" startupRetryCount='10'>
        </httpPlatform>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Then, you need to restart your WebApp and try to browser it. And you will see some log files named like httpplatform-stdout_xxxxx_2019xxxxxxx.log and the content likes as below which means to works.

----------------------------------------------------------
    Application 'myapplication' is running! Access URLs:
    Local:      http://localhost:28747/
    External:   http://100.75.228.104:28747/
    Profile(s):     [prod]
----------------------------------------------------------

Note: the port 28747 is random assigned by Azure WebApp, which value is from the environment %HTTP_PLATFORM_PORT%.

I don't know where you find this solution but it works, thanks a lot! — Georgescu Vale, Jul 10 '19 at 12:07
@GeorgescuVale Due to JHipster based on Spring Boot, so I think my answer for the other SO thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53732486/azure-uploaded-jar-but-doesnt-run-it-spring-boot/53736947#53736947 should works for you. Then it indeed works after I test. — Peter Pan, Jul 11 '19 at 01:04
