This tutorial is going to cover the basics of using Resin with Amazon Web Services for cloud deployment. If you are new to cloud computing and IaaS, follow along and you will soon be deploying Java web applications in the cloud. You wil create an EC2 instance. You will download and install Resin on Ubuntu on a local machine. You will install Resin on an Amazon Linux AMI instance (EC2 instance). You will use Roo to create a simple application and deploy it.
We use Roo because Spring is fairly widely used, and Roo is a quick way to generate a sample app. Future tutorials will use other common Java tools as well as show you how to configure and manage a complete Resin cluster. Think of this as the first tutorial in a series of tutorials.
For this tutorial you will need Resin 4.0.24 or later. Check back periodically because as we are going to expand the tutorial and improve Resin's support of cloud deployments. The Resin engineering team plans on improving cloud support continuously.
Many of the steps in this tutorial would be similar even if you were using Eucalyptus, CloudStack with CloudBridge, RightScale myCloud or even OpenNebula this guide should help you along as they all support the Amazon EC2 REST APIs. Also any cloud computing environment (private or public, on premises or hosted) will have similar characteristics. Thus even if you are using a private cloud using OpenStack like Project Olympus, the principles will be the same. In fact even using remote servers deployed in a datacenter or virtualized servers with Xen Server, Xen Cloud or VMWare vSphere the steps will be very similar.
For this tutorial we expect you are familiar with starting, and stoping Amazon WS instances. If you are not, go through this tutorial from Amazon WS. You will need an Amazon WS account. Amazon WS allows you to have free tier so you can learn Amazon WS (EC2, S3, Elastic Load Balancer, Block Storage, SimpleDB, Simple Queue Service, Simple Notification Service).

Fire up an Amazon Instance
Fire up an Amazon Instance using Amazon Linux (basically CentOS 5.4). Then install Resin as follows using RPM:
$ sudo rpm --import http://caucho.com/download/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-caucho
$ sudo yum install http://caucho.com/download/rpm/4.0.24/x86_64/resin-pro-4.0.24-1.x86_64.rpm
Install Resin on a Local Box
Install Resin locally so you test locally and deploy. Feel free to install it on any supported OS.
Add Caucho's Debian repository to your system's repositories to use automated update tools like Synaptic and apt-get. To do this, add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://caucho.com/download/debian unstable multiverse
Then install Resin as follows:
apt-get update
apt-get install resin-pro
It is a good idea to make sure the version you install on Amazon AMI matches the version you install locally.
You can see that Resin is installed as follows:
$ ls /etc/resin
app-default.xml local.d resin.properties resin.xml
$ ls /var/www/
doc licenses log resin-data watchdog-data webapps
$ ls /etc/init.d/resin
/etc/init.d/resin
$ ls -l /usr/local/share/resin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2011-11-18 09:03 /usr/local/share/resin -> resin-pro-4.0.24
Also at this point, Resin should be running as well, and you can verify this with resinctl status:
$ resinctl status
Resin/4.0.24 status for watchdog at 127.0.0.1:6600
watchdog:
watchdog-pid: 7383
server 'app-0' : ACTIVE
password: missing
watchdog-user: root
user: www-data(www-data)
root: /var/www
conf: /etc/resin/resin.xml
pid: 7590
uptime: 0 days 00h19
Install Maven 3
Install maven. Maven is not in the public Ubuntu repository.
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://build.discursive.com/apt/ lucid main"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install maven
Create a symbolic link:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/maven/bin/mvn /usr/local/bin/mvn
Install Spring Roo
Download and install Spring Roo using directions at the Spring Roo site.
This is how I install roo:
$ unzip spring-roo-1.2.0.RC1.zip
$ sudo mv spring-roo-1.2.0.RC1 /usr/local/share/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/spring-roo-1.2.0.RC1/ /usr/local/share/spring-roo
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/spring-roo/bin/roo.sh /usr/bin/roo
At the roo prompt, type hint.
$ roo
____ ____ ____
/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \
/ /_/ / / / / / / /
/ _, _/ /_/ / /_/ /
/_/ |_|\____/\____/ 1.2.0.RC1 [rev dcaa483]
Welcome to Spring Roo. For assistance press TAB or type "hint" then hit ENTER.
...
roo> hint
..
Hint should always let you know what you might want to do next. Please feel free to read the Roo docs for details or just follow along and read the Roo docs later.
Create the project, this generates maven project files and Spring starter project.
roo> project --topLevelPackage com.example.blog
Created ROOT/pom.xml
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/log4j.properties
Created SPRING_CONFIG_ROOT
Created SPRING_CONFIG_ROOT/applicationContext.xml
Next setup the database and JPA, keep it simple to minimize the amount of things we need to configure later.
roo> jpa setup --database H2_IN_MEMORY --provider HIBERNATE
Created SPRING_CONFIG_ROOT/database.properties
Updated SPRING_CONFIG_ROOT/applicationContext.xml
Created SRC_MAIN_RESOURCES/META-INF/persistence.xml
Updated ROOT/pom.xml [added dependencies com.h2database:h2:1.3.161, org.hibernate:hibernate-core:3.6.8.Final, ...]
Create a entity class called blog.
roo> entity jpa --class ~.domain.Blog
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA/com/example/blog/domain
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA/com/example/blog/domain/Blog.java
Created SRC_MAIN_JAVA/com/example/blog/domain/Blog_Roo_Configurable.aj

Create the web tier
~.domain.Blog roo> web mvc setup
Created ROOT/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring
Created ROOT/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring/webmvc-config.xml
Created ROOT/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
...
Updated ROOT/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
Updated ROOT/pom.xml [added dependencies org.springframework:spring-webmvc:${spring.version}, ...]
Updated SRC_MAIN_WEBAPP/WEB-INF/views/footer.jspx

Package our web app
roo> perform package
Exit roo.
roo> exit
Deploy locally and test
Deploy the example Roo app with Resin.
$ resinctl deploy target/blog-0.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war -name blog
Deployed production/webapp/default/blog from target/blog-0.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war to hmux://127.0.0.1:6800
You can see if the app was actually deployed:
$ resinctl deploy-list
production/webapp/default/blog
Now you should be able to load the Roo blog example.
Create an Elastic IP and assign it to your Amazon WS Linux instance
Create an Elastic IP and assign it to the Amazon WS Linux instance using the Amazon web console.
I got this IP address. 50.19.222.26
Create password
$ resinctl generate-password -user admin -password roofoo admin_user : admin admin_password : {SSHA}BGBKQdCr0a5orH99eqIFwR/fWv4rAErh
