Application Description:

The simple-maven-java-app is a simple Java application encapsulated within a Maven project structure. It utilizes Java's HTTP server functionality to serve an image file over a local web server.

Features:

Image Display: The application serves an image file to the web browser using a built-in HTTP server.

Maven Structure: Utilizes Maven, a build automation tool, to manage dependencies, build the project, and create an executable JAR file.

Docker Integration: The application is Dockerized, allowing easy deployment and execution within a Docker container.

Port Configuration: Exposes the application on port 8080.

How It Works: Upon execution, the application starts a simple HTTP server on port 8080. It loads an image file and serves it to any client accessing the server's root URL (http://localhost:8080).

Commands:

docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 . -t java:latest

docker container run -d --name java --publish 8080:8080 java:latest

Purpose: This application serves as a basic example of setting up a Java-based web server to display an image file. It can serve as a starting point for learning about Java networking and basic Dockerization of Java applications.
