If you are looking to get CRaC-ing with Piranha Servlet you can follow along!
Make sure you are using a CRaC enabled JDK available from https://github.com/CRaC/openjdk-builds/releases
In 10 steps you will learn how to deploy CRaC with Piranha Servlet. They are:
Create an empty directory to store your Maven project. Inside of that directory
create the pom.xml file with the content as below.

As we want to make sure the application gets tested before we release an integration test is added which will be executed as part of the build.
We’ll add the integration test to the src/test/java directory.
package hello;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import static java.net.http.HttpClient.Redirect.ALWAYS;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse.BodyHandlers;
import java.time.Duration;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertTrue;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
public class HelloIT {
@Test
public void testHelloXhtml() throws Exception {
HttpClient client = HttpClient
.newBuilder()
.connectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(60))
.followRedirects(ALWAYS)
.build();
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest
.newBuilder(new URI("http://localhost:8080/crac/hello.xhtml"))
.build();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());
assertTrue(response.body().contains("Hello from CRaC!"));
}
}
The application is setup to use JUnit to do integration testing using the Piranha Maven plugin so when you are building the application it will also execute an integration test validating the web application works.
To build and test the application execute the following command:
mvn install
To deploy your application you will need 2 pieces.
For the WAR file see the target directory. For the Piranha Servlet
distribution go to Maven Central. And then the following command line will
deploy your application:
java -XX:CRaCCheckpointTo=cr -jar piranha-dist-servlet.jar --enable-crac --write-pid --war-file crac.war &
You have your application currently running so now it is time to create a checkpoint.
To ask the JVM to create a checkpoint use the command line below:
jcmd piranha-dist-servlet.jar JDK.checkpoint
The application will exit and the chechkpoint files are in the cr directory.
To restart the application for the checkpoint you can use the following command line:
java -XX:CRaCRestoreFrom=cr
As you can see using CRaC with Piranha Servlet is matter of the right JDK and the right command line switch.
