Create a temporary bimserver instance

[michelespinella]

Good day all,
I need to create a temporary instance of bimserver in order to lauch integration tests. How I can procced? Have I to import in my pom.xml bimserver, is this the correct way?
I found out only the client:

org.opensourcebim
bimserverclientlib
1.5.182

Can I do the same with the server?
Thanks a lot for the support
Kind regards

You can use the BIMserver artifact (org.opensourcebim:bimserver), and use that to start an embedded server.

A basic server would be:

BimServerConfig config = new BimServerConfig();
BimServer bimServer = new BimServer(config);
EmbeddedWebServerInterface webServer = ...;
bimServer.setEmbeddedWebServer(webServer);
bimServer.start();

The starter JAR can serve as a sample as to what is required for this to work: opensourceBIM/BIMserver/../BimServerJar, specifically BimServerJar/JarBimServer.java

If you want you can also use the starter JAR through org.opensourcebim:bimserverjar, though for tests I'd recommend the former.
