+# Codebase for the blog post [#HOWTO: Deploy a Spring Boot Uber-Jar application within Open Liberty](https://rieckpil.de/howto-run-spring-boot-uber-jar-application-within-open-liberty/)
+
+Steps to run this project:
+
+1. Clone this Git repository
+2. Navigate to the folder `spring-boot-with-open-liberty`
+3. Build the project with `mvn clean package`
+4. Download the latest Open Liberty (at least 18.0.0.2) from https://openliberty.io/downloads/ and extract the zip
+5. Navigate to the `wlp` folder you extracted and run `bin/server start defaultServer` or `bin/server.bat start defaultServer` for Windows
+6. Open the `server.xml` file in `wlp/usr/server/defaultServer` and replace the content with the following configuration:
+```
+
+
+
+ springBoot-2.0
+ servlet-4.0
+ websocket-1.1
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+7. Copy the already built (step 3.) `spring-boot-with-open-liberty.jar` to `wlp/usr/server/defaultServer/apps`
+8. Visit `http://localhost:9080` for chatting and `http://localhost:9080/api/messages` to get all chat messages
