customers-webservice

##Preparation:

1. Install Maven and make sure it's added to the PATH (https://maven.apache.org/install.html)
2. Install Tomcat (https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html)
3. Install PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org/download/)
4. Using pgAdmin, create a database called 'Multicert' and then create a table with the following code:

CREATE TABLE customers
(
  id serial PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
  name text NOT NULL,
  nif character(9) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
  address text,
  telephone text
)

You might want to change the openDatabaseConnection() function in CustomerInterface.java to change the user and password for your database.

##Instructions:

1. Pull the code from the repository.
2. Use the command line to navigate to project root folder.
3. Run the following commands :

mvn package

mvn tomcat:run

4. Hopefully, you will have the webservice up and running on http://localhost:8080 .
