Run helix-ui in Tomcat
Hello,
Just want to get some advice on how to run helix-ui in a Tomcat instance,
is there any doc or guidance? Our app already runs in a tomcat, if helix-ui
can be packaged as a standard war, that would be very easy for ship and
deploy. I checked this page:
https://github.com/apache/helix/tree/master/helix-ui , but the “Dropwizard
Configuration Reference” link is reporting 404 error now.
Thanks for any suggestion!

Thanks Greg and Kishore; The UI is much easier to use than the CLI, running
it with the jar is good for most cases I believe; I will keep using it and
add that to a document so user would know how to setup. One day if it can
be packaged as a war, I will investigate whether it can ship together with
our web app. Thanks for your time!

Yeah, it may be worth gutting the helix-ui module and just adding the same
functionality via a lightweight http server. I can take a look at doing
this. It would be nice to just get this functionality out of the box.

Yes, I would love to see a UI component within the controller.

That does sound promising, and we are using drop wizard 0.8.x in helix-ui, so it should be compatible. Would need to play around with it a little more to know for sure.
FWIW, the helix-ui module is in a fairly rough beginning state, so if there's interest in it maybe we could turn this thread into a discussion about features / improvements.
We are currently evaluating Helix for use in several projects, and having a good community supported UI would be a big selling point.

Will this work in this scenario.

Hey Shaofeng,
You can try using this helper class if you want to deploy the helix-ui in a war:
https://github.com/apache/helix/blob/master/helix-ui/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/ui/util/DropWizardApplicationRunner.java
Since the helix-ui module is intended to be packaged and run as a shaded jar from command line, you might have to be a little careful of dependency versions if your tomcat server has a complicated classpath.
Also here is a link to the latest drop wizard configuration docs https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/0.7.1/docs/manual/configuration.html
