Deploy Web Application Archive(WAR) to Amazon AWS EC2 Linux Instance

Recently I have published a video course that teaches how to use Java JAX-RS to create a RESTful Web Service for your mobile application and how implement features like user Sign up, Sing in and how to communicate with protected Web Service Endpoints. I would love it if you check it out and hopefully like it, find it useful and enrol into it :).

A small part of that video course is dedicated to deployment of created RESTful Web Service which is packaged as Web Application Archive(WAR) file to a remote Amazon AWS EC2 Linux Instance running MySQL database server and Apache Tomcat Servlet container.

With this blog post I am going to share with you a few selected videos from my video course that demonstrate how to:

  • Start your own Amazon AWS EC2 Linux Server in Amazon Cloud,
  • Connect to you AWS EC2 Linux Instance via SSH
  • Install on your EC2 Linux instance Java, MySQL Database and Apache Tomcat Servlet Container,
  • Create new MySQL database and a new MySQL database user,
  • Enable Tomcat user, so we can sign in to Apache Tomcat Web Application Manager,
  • Deploy RESTful Web Service Web Application Archive(WAR) file to Apache Tomcat,
  • Use Postman HTTP client to send HTTP request to a deployer RESTful Web Service on Amazon AWS EC2 Instance,
  • And one more video which is an Overview on Postman HTTP client. I thought it would be useful to have one since I am using it a lot in my video course.

I hope these videos will be of some value to you. At the end of this blog post I will also include some other video courses which you might like to consider to learn more about RESTful Web Services development to make your full stack mobile app developer skills even sharper :).
