This is pretty basic example of web page crawling in java and is not fully production ready crawler and is done for test purposes only.

Running code against different web sites showed there are some issues which could be improved. For example it can't follow relative links at current stage, also some web sites have dynamically generated links, which actually might refer to same page, so if this happens then application will run in a loop and will never finish. There could be other issues as well, in fact as it is crawling external resources which could be very various, it is hard to cover all cases.

Other issues could be regarding retry mechanism which is missing, better error handling, etc etc. But for the sake of this test I have skipped them.

Code is covered by tests and example web server with two pages(crawl.html, crawl2.html)

The code is written in concurrent way and using given number of threads.

To test the application either run CrawlerTest tests or commands below: Maven mvn clean package && java -jar target/crawler-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar https:/kenych https:/kenych 5

Docker Build image locally with maven and docker: mvn clean package && docker build -t web-crawler:local . && docker run --rm web-crawler:local https:/kenych https:/kenych 5

or with Maven plugin: mvn clean package docker:build && docker run --rm web-crawler:local https:/kenych https:/kenych 5

Or get it from dockerHub: docker run --rm kayan/web-crawler https:/kenych https:/kenych 5
