Introduction

When using Chutney to test your applications, you may need proprietary drivers, clients or use an obscure protocol not implemented by Chutney.

Chutney is packaged as a Spring Boot executable jar (fat-jar) produced by the server module. If you need extras (a vendor JDBC/JMS client, your own Actions/Functions, etc.), you can load external jars at runtime so you can place jars in a lib/(or somewhere else) folder next to the server jar and run it.

Typical use cases:

• Use Chutney with proprietary drivers or clients (e.g., JMS with WebLogic, Oracle JDBC)
• Use Chutney with an external database and authentication system (LDAP/OIDC)
• Configure logs, TLS/SSL, sessions, metrics, etc.

Quick technical insight

• Chutney server is a Spring Boot application running with Undertow
• Chutney UI is an Angular web application
• Chutney is packaged as a Spring Boot executable jar
• Chutney follows Angular and Spring Boot lastest versions and corresponding dependencies
