# Geode REST API example

This is a simple example that demonstrates putting values into a
replicated region and retrieving the values using the Geode REST API. For enabling the REST API you can follow the official [document](https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/19/rest_apps/setup_config.html#setup_config_enabling_rest).

This example assumes you have installed Java and Geode.

## Steps

1. From the `geode-examples/rest` directory, build the example and
   run unit tests

        $ ../gradlew build

2. Next start the locator and two servers

        $ gfsh run --file=scripts/start.gfsh

3. Run the example to create and get entries using HTTP Java Client from the region

        $ ../gradlew run
        
4. Shut down the system:

        $ gfsh run --file=scripts/stop.gfsh
