Reference App

The reference app (previously called the 'demo app') provides an introduction to the Apache Causeway programming model, allowing you to learn the basics with a minimum of hassle. It’s also a useful reference to help you develop your own Apache Causeway applications.

The application is packaged up as a Docker image (apache/causeway-app-demo-jpa) on Docker Hub, so you can easily run it yourself (as described below).
