Virtual Host with built-in Wasabi web server

[bkawakami]

I need say.. This project is amazing!

Well, when I compile my project with this:

package kotlinApi

import org.wasabi.app.AppServer

fun main(args: Array<String>){
    var server = AppServer()

    server.get("/hello", { response.send("Hello World!") })

    server.start()
}

I receive on my console:

[main] INFO org.wasabi.app.AppServer - Server starting on port 3000
[nioEventLoopGroup-3-1] INFO org.wasabi.interceptors.LoggingInterceptor - [GET] - /
[nioEventLoopGroup-3-2] INFO org.wasabi.interceptors.LoggingInterceptor - [GET] - /hello

It seems to me that the Wasabi has a built-in web server.

The default host is http://localhost:3000

How do I set up a virtual host with this built-in web server?

Great glad you find it useful,

Yes wasabi is self hosting ( built on top of Netty ) you can change the port it binds to in the configuration, in your example just add 'server.configuration.port = somevalue' before starting Wasabi ( and Netty ) are designed to build self hosting event driven applications ( web in the case of wasabi ) , can you explain your intended use case a bit more?

Thank you for your response Dale

And sorry for my English, I am Brazilian.

I started programming with web languages like PHP, which work on Apache.

Apache has support for virtual host. For example, locally I could direct my http://localhost:3000 to http://mylocation.dev

This is possible with the Wasabi?

And again, this project is really amazing... When I get to be more experienced I will try to contribute!

Thanks for your attention!

Another question, how do I return JSON in default? The default is XML, I would switch to JSON

[hhariri]

What do you need to do? Send back an object? As long as the serializers are configured (which by default JSON is), you just set the content type. Nothing more.

I try return a Hashmap, and by default I receive a XML:

server.get("/hello", {
                var x = hashMapOf(Pair("a","b"),Pair("sada","bfds"),Pair("fda","bfv"))
                response.send(x)
        })

Return

<HashMap>
<fda>bfv</fda>
<sada>bfds</sada>
<a>b</a>
</HashMap>

What do you set as content type?

If you already have an apache instance setup to do virtualhosting you could just bind wasabi to an IP/Port on a machine within your network and add a entry like the below to your configuration.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ServerName http://mylocation.dev
  ProxyPass / http://yourmachineIP:3000/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://yourmachineIP:3000
</VirtualHost>

Doing the actual virtualhosting is not something which is easily done within wasabi/netty itself.

To further @hhariri 's comment wasabi by default handles serialization based on the Accept header the client sends in. In your case you would just want to set it to 'application/json' . You can also force response content sent in your route declaration as described here:

@swishy and @hhariri thanks for all... Everything work :)

You are the best!
