Unable to run FHIR Jpa starter server

[Waqar Sadiq]

Hello,

I am new to FHIR and wanted to get the starter jpa server up and running.  However, after a couple of days of trying, I am still not able to run.  In most posts , people have proposed running in Docker.  I wanted to first run locally on my machine so that I understand it better.

Here is what I have done so far.

1) Downloaded the server from https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter.

2) Modifier the application.yaml filer to swtich to a postgress datrabase.

3) I have tried to execute the command mvn clean install -P boot at the command line and get the several errors because of failing tests.  A summary of errors in are in the 1st screen shot attached.

4) When I try to run the project in IntelliJ by doing a right mouse click on the Application file, I get a bunch of errors.  The first few are all relating to inability of starting embedded tomcat server.  Please see the 2nd attached screenshot.

5) Finally I tried to install a separate tomcat instance and dropped the root.was created as a result of step 3 and it basically corrupted my tomcat installation.

Can some please help.  Ideally, all I want to do at this stage is to run FHRI jpa server start from IntelliJ so that I can understand how it works.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

The easiest way to run the HAPI server on your local machine is with maven

mvn -Djetty.port=8888 jetty:run

The server is then available at http://localhost:8888/fhir/

I wanted to start it in intellij so that I can debug as well to see what is going on.  Do you have any suggestions on how to run it from IntelliJ for debugging?  I think springboot uses the embedded tomcat server.  DO I need to add dependency for embedded tomcat?

Hi Peter,

I got pas this point.  One of the exceptions embedded in this was about not being able to determine the database type.  Then I realized, that when I changed the database from the h2 to postgress, I forgot to also change the driver class name in application.yaml.

With that change, the server is coming up now.
