Spark (Spark 1.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- spark.Spark

```
public final class Spark
extends Object
```
The main building block of a Spark application is a set of routes. A route is made up of three simple pieces:
- A verb (get, post, put, delete, head, trace, connect, options)
- A path (/hello, /users/:name)
- A callback ( handle(Request request, Response response) )
Example:
```
 Spark.get(new Route("/hello") {
    public Object handle(Request request, Response response) {
       return "Hello World!";
    }
 });
 
```

  - setIpAddress
```
public static void setIpAddress(String ipAddress)
```
    Set the IP address that Spark should listen on. If not called the default address is '0.0.0.0'. This has to be called before any route mapping is done.
    
    Parameters:
    ipAddress - The ipAddress
  - setPort
```
public static void setPort(int port)
```
    Set the port that Spark should listen on. If not called the default port is 4567. This has to be called before any route mapping is done.
    
    Parameters:
    port - The port number
  - setSecure
```
public static void setSecure(String keystoreFile,
             String keystorePassword,
             String truststoreFile,
             String truststorePassword)
```
    Set the connection to be secure, using the specified keystore and truststore. This has to be called before any route mapping is done. You have to supply a keystore file, truststore file is optional (keystore will be reused).
    This method is only relevant when using embedded Jetty servers. It should not be used if you are using Servlets, where you will need to secure the connection in the servlet container
    
    Parameters:
    keystoreFile - The keystore file location as string
    keystorePassword - the password for the keystore
    truststoreFile - the truststore file location as string, leave null to reuse keystore
    truststorePassword - the trust store password
  - staticFileLocation
```
public static void staticFileLocation(String folder)
```
    Sets the folder in classpath serving static files. Observe: this method must be called before all other methods.
    
    Parameters:
    folder - the folder in classpath.
  - externalStaticFileLocation
```
public static void externalStaticFileLocation(String externalFolder)
```
    Sets the external folder serving static files. Observe: this method must be called before all other methods.
    
    Parameters:
    externalFolder - the external folder serving static files.
