One big drawback of Dropwizard (at least for us) was that it was very problematic to deploy it as a war in a tomcat environment. There is wizard-in-a-box but there were a lot of issues with that as well.
- unscaled 9y agoWell, if you're doing microservices you're usually nullifying most of the benefits of this kind of architecture if you're just deploying them on war files on a single application container.
- cs02rm0 9y agoIf you're deploying a dropwizard app as a war in tomcat you're doing something a bit odd.
- traspler 9y agoTrue but sadly project specs sometimes change in odd ways.
- RhodesianHunter 9y agoYeah, that's definitely a square peg + round hole problem. Dropwizard is intended to be deployed as a "Fat Jar" and does not need tomcat/tomee. This is nice because it makes it easier to treat your servers like disposable cattle when (almost) all of your configuration and dependencies live in your easily deployed Jar.
