This is a simple Spring Boot client-server application for PoC/demo upload of the files from client to server.

• Run a Java/Spring Boot/Tomcat server to accepts the incoming connections.
• Run a command-line client that uploads the specified file and exits.

1. Edit src/main/resources/application.properties to configure artifact folder (file.upload-dir) and port (server.port, optional).
2. Start the server:

mvn spring-boot:run

1. Download and install dependencies:

mvn clean install

2. Run the client (upload a file):

SERVER_URL="http://localhost:8080" # Change if needed
CLASS_PATH="target/classes;target/dependency/httpclient-4.5.13.jar;target/dependency/httpcore-4.4.16.jar;target/dependency/httpmime-4.5.13.jar;target/dependency/commons-logging-1.2.jar"
CLIENT_CLASS="com.example.artifactuploaddemo.client.ArtifactUploadClient"
java -cp $CLASS_PATH $CLIENT_CLASS $SERVER_URL <filename_to_upload>

1. Download and install dependencies:

mvn clean install

2. Run the client (upload a file):

$serverUrl = "http://localhost:8080" # Change if needed
$classPath = "target/classes;target/dependency/httpclient-4.5.13.jar;target/dependency/httpcore-4.4.16.jar;target/dependency/httpmime-4.5.13.jar;target/dependency/commons-logging-1.2.jar"
$clientClass = "com.example.artifactuploaddemo.client.ArtifactUploadClient"
java.exe -cp $classPath $clientClass $serverUrl <filename_to_upload>

Due to Maven's design, elements are inherited from the parent POM to the project POM. While most of the inheritance is fine, it also inherits unwanted elements like <license> and <developers> from the parent. To prevent this, the project POM contains empty overrides for these elements. If you manually switch to a different parent and actually want the inheritance, you need to remove those overrides.
