#Wizchat: A sample Dropwizard chat application

##Why? I'm writing a series exploring Dropwizard to see what all the fuss is about. Here are the articles published so far:

• Modern Java Web Development from the start: Dropwizard
• Using progressive enhancement to build a chat application

##How? Simply download the source code and run WizChatApplication. In it's current format, you need to head to http://localhost:8080/chats/aUsername/anotherUsername and the chat will begin.

##What's missing? Almost everything at this point; it exists as a simple and functional chat app. The 2 main things missing (and coming in articles shortly) are:

• Persistance
• Login
