Code Challenge

The goal of the challenge is to create a dockerized web service such that the following HTTP request, for the variable $name

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/messages/names/$name

produces a response with header Content-Type: application/json and JSON payload:

{"message": { "content": "Hello $name"}}

Furthermore, the service must meet the following requirements:

• Code must be stored on github and be in a fork of this repository
• Code must be written in java
• Maven is used to build the project and produce a war file
• Jetty is used as the web server
• The REST interface is produced by Jersey
• It must have a class MessageResource containing the REST API definition and a MessageService class, that performs the logic.
• It must use Spring for injecting the singleton MessageService bean into the MessageResource bean
• JAX RS / Jackson is used for serializing a Message DTO class into the REST response.
• The project must be built as a docker image using a Dockerfile starting with FROM ubuntu:trusty, and run as a docker container.
• The docker image must be built using maven using mvn package
• Jetty, including the web-application, should start when docker start is issued for the created docker image.
• You have to write every line of code yourself, but you can ask anyone for help. No-one is required to help though.
