Logging Sample Application

A simple CF sample application that we cloned from cloudfoundry-sticky-session and tweaked to provide a sample for the logging and instrumentation features.

Currently configured to use logback as the logging implementation.

Running it locally

You can use the following Maven target to run the application locally

mvn tomcat7:run

Once the tomcat container has started, you can access the application via http://localhost:8080/logging-sample-app

Here's a table of "interesting" request URLs you may want to load:

URL	Comment
/	Handled by standard servlet. Prints all environment variables, HTTP request headers and a random "greeting" message.
/<n>	Like the one above, but also computes the <n>th Fibonacci number. Computation happens recursively, so you can use higher values for n to get long response times or even crash the application
/stacktrace	Handled by standard servlet. Generates a 500 response and prints a stack trace
/jersey?greeting=<msg>	Handled by Jersey container. Will print the line Hello from Jersey: <msg>
/jersey/forward	Handled by Jersey container. Will use a Jersey client to "forward" to default servlet.
/jersey/forward?q=<n>	Again handled by Jersey container and forwarded to default servlet as /<n>.
