Java docs and examples?

[avi]

Hi, I’m experienced with Lambda but not particularly familiar with the framework. A few co-workers of mine are happy with it for JavaScript functions, so I’m interested in using it to deploy/manage some Java functions. Maybe I’m missing something, but I couldn’t find much in the docs nor in the examples on using the framework for Java functions… so… am I missing something? Or… is maybe this framework not a good fit for Java?

If this is too vague, I can elaborate a bit: it’s just unclear to me where the Java code/classes/jars would go in a project’s directory structure, and how to kick off a deployment that would properly build and/or deploy those artifacts.

Thank you!

Serverless comes with templates for Java:

• Gradle: aws-java-gradle
• Maven: aws-java-maven
  (see: https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/services/#creation)
  The only thing you have to do before deploying your functions with serverless, is to build them using Gradle or rather Maven.

There’s also an example: https://github.com/serverless/examples/tree/master/aws-java-simple-http-endpoint

And last but not least I am the author of the framework JRestless that allows you to use JAX-RS on AWS Lambda - it can be used together with the serverless framework. You can find examples on how to use JRestless here: https://github.com/bbilger/jrestless-examples

Perfect, thank you!

PS maybe the docs should be tweaked to make this stuff easier to find.
