I have a back-end which is build on spring-boot and then some custom code from my school built upon that. The front-end is pure angular application which I serve from a different server trough a gulp serve. They're only connected by REST calls.
There's already an authentication module running on the backend and to now I need to serve this angular application from the same tomcat server the back-end is running on so it can also use this authentication module.
I've found this about multiple connectors so I copied it as following class to set up multiple connectors:
@ConfigurationProperties
public class TomcatConfiguration {
@Bean
public EmbeddedServletContainerFactory servletContainer() {
TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory tomcat = new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory();
//tomcat.addAdditionalTomcatConnectors(createSslConnector());
return tomcat;
}
private Connector createSslConnector() {
Connector connector = new Connector("org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol");
Http11NioProtocol protocol = (Http11NioProtocol) connector.getProtocolHandler();
try {
File keystore = new ClassPathResource("keystore").getFile();
File truststore = new ClassPathResource("keystore").getFile();
connector.setScheme("https");
connector.setSecure(true);
connector.setPort(8443);
protocol.setSSLEnabled(true);
protocol.setKeystoreFile(keystore.getAbsolutePath());
protocol.setKeystorePass("changeit");
protocol.setTruststoreFile(truststore.getAbsolutePath());
protocol.setTruststorePass("changeit");
protocol.setKeyAlias("apitester");
return connector;
} catch (IOException ex) {
throw new IllegalStateException("can't access keystore: [" + "keystore"
+ "] or truststore: [" + "keystore" + "]", ex);
}
}
}
Problem is that I don't see or find how I should setup these connectors so they serve from my angularJS build folder.
Upon searching I came upon Spring-Boot : How can I add tomcat connectors to bind to controller but I'm not sure if in that solution I should change my current application or make a parent application for both applications.
My current application main looks like this:
@Configuration
@ComponentScan({"be.ugent.lca","be.ugent.sherpa.configuration"})
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableSpringDataWebSupport
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer{
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
If possible I'd like some more info about what connectors are in the spring-boot context. If this is not the way to go I'd like someone to be able to conform this second solution or suggest a change in my code.
I'm really not sure enough about these solution that I want to go breaking my application over it. (though it's backed up with github)
