** We have revamped the Makefile, but not the ANT build ** |

** So please use the Makefile for now ** |

The following sequence of commands should suffice. They will probably need |
| 11 |
< |
to be run in seperate terminal windows. |
| 10 |

There are now two methods of compiling the server distribution. The existing |
| 11 |
> |
Makefile method is still supported, but is of course limited in the OS's on |
| 12 |
> |
which it can be run. The preffered method will be an XML based build script |
| 13 |
> |
using ANT (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) which will run on any platform. |
| 14 |
> |
However, at this stage the ANT scripts are not completely finished and may |
| 15 |
> |
have some odd behaviour. |

make runcore |

make runclientinterface |

make runfiltermanager |

make runrootfilter |

make runfilter NAME=filter1 |

We envisage both the Makefile and ANT setups being maintained for some time, |
| 18 |
> |
giving the developer a choice. This document still outlines the Makefile |
| 19 |
> |
method of compiling, and will do so until such a point as the ANT scripts |
| 20 |
> |
are deemed reliable. If, however, you wish to give the ant script a whirl, |
| 21 |
> |
try the following after setting up ANT (see the ANT website for details); |
| 22 |
|
|
| 23 |
< |
If all is working this will ensure every component, including the IDL, is |
| 24 |
< |
compiled as required before execution. |

nb. you will need to ensure your classpath is correctly set prior to |
| 26 |
< |
running, otherwise java will fail to find the jacorb classes and the |
| 27 |
< |
XML parsing packages. |

Compiling |
| 26 |
> |
--------- |
| 27 |
> |
|
| 28 |
> |
The server can now easily be compiled without worrying about setting up any |
| 29 |
> |
of the CLASSPATH's, or setting the path to JacORB. It's all self contained. |
| 30 |
> |
|
| 31 |
> |
Typical sequence to compile; |
| 32 |
> |
|
| 33 |
> |
./configure |
| 34 |
> |
make build |
| 35 |
> |
make install prefix=/some/path |
| 36 |
> |
make clean |
| 37 |
> |
|
| 38 |
> |
Alternatively there is a "make dist" target which will build a |
| 39 |
> |
distribution archive containing the built code, the javadoc, and |
| 40 |
> |
the source code. |
| 41 |
> |
|
| 42 |
> |
In more detail, the first line ensures that the required libraries are |
| 43 |
> |
available, and sets the Makefiles up so they know where everything is. |
| 44 |
> |
The second line compiles all of the code and creates a JAR file in the |
| 45 |
> |
build directory. |
| 46 |
> |
The install line installs the server and libraries to a given location, |
| 47 |
> |
along with the configuration files. |
| 48 |
> |
Finally, the last line cleans up. |
| 49 |

Running |
| 51 |

------- |
| 52 |
> |
|
| 53 |
> |
It is recommended that the components are started up in the following order. |
| 54 |
> |
|
| 55 |
> |
(This can be on multiple hosts if required, as long as the order is correct). |
| 56 |
> |
|
| 57 |
> |
Core |
| 58 |
> |
ClientInterfaceMain |
| 59 |
> |
DBInterface |
| 60 |
> |
FilterManager |
| 61 |
> |
RootFilter |
| 62 |
> |
FilterMain |
| 63 |
> |
Client |
| 64 |
> |
|
| 65 |
> |
It is not necessary to start both the ClientInterfaceMain and DBInterface, |
| 66 |
> |
the server will handle only one or both. Multiple Filter's can be started |
| 67 |
> |
as required. |
| 68 |
> |
|
| 69 |
> |
These are all loaded through the ComponentManager. More details on how to |
| 70 |
> |
operate this will be provided later on. Typing "make run" will make an |
| 71 |
> |
attempt to load it up. |
| 72 |
> |
|
| 73 |
> |
Check build/etc/default.properties to set the startup list and order. |
| 74 |
> |
|
| 75 |

nb. You will need to ensure that the relevant libraries are in the |
| 76 |
> |
build/lib directory. See the README in there for details. |

> |
|
| 82 |
> |
build |
| 83 |
> |
|
| 84 |
> |

| 85 |
> |

| 86 |
> |
|
| 87 |
> |
run |
| 88 |
> |
|

| 95 |
> |

| 98 |
> |
|
| 99 |
> |
install |
| 100 |
> |
|

> |
dist |
| 105 |

droptable |
