Your first Java Azure Web App

by Thomas Bründl

Requirements:

Agenda:

  • Downloading Java SE Development Kit 8u27
  • Installing Java SE Development Kit 8u27
  • Downloading & Installing Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers
  • Downloading & Installing Azure SDK for Java
  • Build and Deploy a "Hello World" - Project

Downloading Java SE Development Kit 8u271

I tried the official website, but with little success.

Official download page: Java SE Development Kit 8 - Downloads (oracle.com)

At this point I found out that you apparently need an Oracle account.

I have now looked for an alternative and found this one:

Java SE Development Kit Download
Das Java SE Development Kit (JDK) ist ein Paket bestehend aus Compiler und Debugger zum Entwickeln von plattformübergreifenden Java-Anwendungen. Die zur Ausführung benötigte Java SE Runtime Environment ist bereits enthalten, so dass man diese nicht separat installieren muss.
ComputerBase

Installing Java SE Development Kit 8u271

Downloading & Installing Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers

Link: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/installer

The installation is actually just a ZIP file that has to be extracted at the right place.

Downloading & Installing Azure SDK for Java

To do this, start Eclipse and navigate to the Help tab.

http://dl.microsoft.com/eclipse/

Build and Deploy a "Hello World" - Project

Create a JSP (Java Server Page).

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<% out.println("Hello world!");%>
</body>
</html>

Now I puplish the app to azure...

Changed the name:

webapp-helloworld-it-infrastructure-solutions
