Tidy up of the client interface code - more commonly known as the "right hand side of the server". Right since the start the filter side of the server has been nice and tree like - every Filter sent data to another Filter. At the top of the tree there was a "special" Filter known as the RootFilter, which to the other Filters just looked like a normal Filter. This was nice, and simple, and expandable. The Client Interface on the other hand was messy. The root filter had some hacky wrapper threads which pulled from a queue and pushed to the relevant client interfaces (one for real time stuff, and the other for databases). There was no simple room for expandability - it was all hardwired to do just what was needed at the time. This commit changes that. A Client Interface now connects to another Client Interface, with a special one being found in the RootFilter (yes, maybe that needs a name change now :-). So we can chain client interfaces, and move other bits and bobs around in the server - for example, alerting no longer needs to be connected to the Client Interface, it can connect straight to the RootFilter (or, wherever the config tells it ;). Hopefully this sanitizes the underlying layout of the server a bit. As a final note, I dropped the DBInterface. This used to insert data in to a MySQL database. We've long since stopped using that, and it's fallen behind and is way out of date. For now, it's gone in to the attic.
A continuation of my last commit on all this Makefile reworking. I think I've managed to get the dependencies working quite well now. As long as the builds are done from the top level Makefile it should all be fine. If you try from, say, the build directory it might not notice things changing in the source files.
Finally made some changes to the Makefile setup to finish what I started around 7 months ago :) The dependency stuff still isn't quite right, but it's getting there.
Forgot to change the old-style build setup at some point. Corrected links to downloads of JAR files. Fixed the IDL compiler sloppy names...
Major change in the java package naming. This has been held off for some time now, but it really needed doing. The future packaging of all i-scream products will be; uk.org.iscream.<product>.<subpart>.* In the case of the central monitoring system server this will be; uk.org.iscream.cms.server.* The whole server has been changed to follow this structure, and tested to a smallish extent. Further changes in other parts of the CMS will follow.
Changes to reflect the updates in JacORB (1.3.21).
The whole server package structure has been changed. Old Package: uk.ac.ukc.iscream.* New Package: uk.org.iscream.*
Tidied up the configure script, and got round to make a subtle change to the Makefile's so they are a bit more "standard".
The Java compiler flags are now in the configuration.
We now have some files for a client package.
Forgot to put the classpath in. This didn't show up in my tests as I had the CLASSPATH variable set in my environment.
MERGE: Merged the SERVER_PACKAGEBUILD branch back into the HEAD trunk.
More dependency stuff for the IDL.
Done some more tidying on all the Makefiles. This should have solve the current dependency problem that seemed to be occuring with the java source files. The only dependency that's now not quite in place is the IDL stuff. This should be easily fixable.
Moved the compiling of the IDL generated source into here, and made use of the include files.
This is now independant of the JacORB/bin/idl file.
We don't need an all specified anymore.
Makefile for the IDL.
