(Quick Reference) # run-app ## Purpose Runs a Grails application in an embedded servlet container This target is not intended to be used for application deployment. There are many optimizations implemented when generating a WAR file for deployment that are not available to `run-app` since `run-app` is optimized for developer productivity, not performance. ## Examples
    grails run-app
    grails run-app -https // with HTTPS
    grails test run-app
    grails -Dserver.port=8090 -Denable.jndi=true -Ddisable.auto.recompile=true run-app
## Description Usage:
    grails [env]* run-app
Arguments: `https` - Start an HTTPS server (on port 8443 by default) alongside the main server. Just to be clear, the application will be accessible via HTTPS and HTTP. Supported system properties: `disable.auto.recompile` - Disables auto-recompilation of Java sources, which can be processor intensive (defaults to `false`) `recompile.frequency` - Specifies how frequently (in seconds) Grails checks for changes to Java and Groovy sources in your project (defaults to 3). `grails.server.port.http`/`server.port` - Specifies the HTTP port to run the server on (defaults to 8080) `grails.server.port.https` - Specifies the HTTPS port to run the server on (defaults to 8443) `grails.server.host`/`server.host` - Specifies the host name to run the server on (defaults to localhost) Fired Events: `StatusFinal` - When the container has been started `StatusUpdate` - When the container is reloading This command starts Grails in an embedded servlet container that can serve HTTP requests. The default container is Tomcat but alternative containers are supported via the plugin system. For example to run Grails with Jetty run the following two commands:
    grails uninstall-plugin tomcat
    grails install-plugin jetty
