Introduction

The Nutch WebApp is built using the Apache Wicket Java web framework and Spring.

Running locally

N.B. Currently, you must have a running Nutch REST Server on the same host.

You can easily run the WebApp by executing the following

% mvn jetty:run

If you want to run the WebApp in a Jakarta Servlet container i.e. Apache Tomcat, then run the following

% mvn clean install -DskipTests
5 cp target/nutch-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war $CATALINA_HOME/webapps

You can then access the WebApp on the Tomcat host on port 8080.
