Deploy Custom Code

In this step, you will:

• Deploy custom code to your Vault
• Learn how to install & use the Vault Java SDK Maven Plugin to deploy code
• Run your deployed code in your Vault

Prerequisite: Install Maven

Section link for Prerequisite: Install Maven

If you're using IntelliJ®, Maven is already bundled with your installation. If you're using another IDE, you may need to manually install Maven.

Deploy Code with the Maven Plugin

Section link for Deploy Code with the Maven Plugin

1. Navigate to vsdk-helloworld-getting-started\src\main\resources and open plugin_settings_file.json.
2. Replace firstname.lastname@example.com with your Vault user name.
3. Navigate to vsdk-helloworld-getting-started\src\main\resources and open vapil_settings_file.json.
4. Update the vaultUsername, vaultPassword, and vaultDNS values with your login information.
5. From the righthand IntelliJ® sidebar, open the Maven menu and navigate to vsdk-hellowork > Plugins > vaultjavasdk.
6. Double click on the vaultjavasdk:package Maven goal. This creates the .vpk file which contains your code changes.
   
7. Verify that this maven goal created a deployment folder at the root directory, with a vaultpackage.xml file and a .vpk file.
   
8. Run the vaultjavasdk:deploy Maven goal from the Maven sidebar menu to deploy the .vpk to Vault. Deploying may take a minute. You will receive an email when Vault completes the deployment.

Verify Deployment: Run Code

Now that we’ve deployed the new trigger code for the AFTER_INSERT event, let’s run it again and make sure that the changes work as expected.

1. Log in to your Vault.
2. Navigate to Business Admin > Objects > vSDK Hello World.
3. Click Create.
4. Enter someone else’s name in the Name field.
5. Click Save. This time, your trigger fires on the AFTER_INSERT event and we’re getting an error message!
   

When saving records using Vault Java SDK, you must specify an error handling strategy. Because the AFTER_INSERT event is saving the record, writing code for this event requires an error handling strategy. You can learn more about error-handling and how to fix this error in the next tutorial: SDK Debugger.

Congratulations, you’ve finished the Getting Started!

To recap what we’ve learned, you now know how to:

• Deploy a VPK to your Vault, which copies configuration from one Vault to another
• Run a deployed record trigger in your Vault, understanding the record event that triggered your trigger
• Set up your development environment to connect to your Vault
• Understand how to write code for different record events
• Deploy custom code changes to your Vault with the Maven Plugin
