ANT build vs Make build |
| 5 |
+ |
----------------------- |

|

+ |
There are now two methods of compiling the server distribution. The existing |
| 8 |
+ |
Makefile method is still supported, but is of course limited in the OS's on |
| 9 |
+ |
which it can be run. The preffered method will be an XML based build script |
| 10 |
+ |
using ANT (http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) which will run on any platform. |
| 11 |
+ |
However, at this stage the ANT scripts are not completely finished and may |
| 12 |
+ |
have some odd behaviour. |
| 13 |
+ |
|
| 14 |
+ |
We envisage both the Makefile and ANT setups being maintained for some time, |
| 15 |
+ |
giving the developer a choice. This document still outlines the Makefile |
| 16 |
+ |
method of compiling, and will do so until such a point as the ANT scripts |
| 17 |
+ |
are deemed reliable. If, however, you wish to give the ant script a whirl, |
| 18 |
+ |
try the following after setting up ANT (see the ANT website for details); |

FilterManager |
| 54 |
|
RootFilter |
| 55 |
|
FilterMain |
| 56 |
+ |
Client |
| 57 |
|
|
| 58 |
|
It is not necessary to start both the ClientInterfaceMain and DBInterface, |
| 59 |
|
the server will handle only one or both. Multiple Filter's can be started |
| 107 |
|
|
| 108 |
|
buildutil |
| 109 |
|
|
| 110 |
+ |
(it is recommended you run a "make clean" first) |
| 111 |
|
Builds a seperate JAR file, in `build' called `iscream-util.jar'. |
| 112 |
|
This file contains just the uk.ac.ukc.iscream.util package for |
| 113 |
|
use in other parts of the system, such as the clients. |
| 114 |
+ |
|
| 115 |
+ |
createtable |
| 116 |
+ |
|
| 117 |
+ |
Creates the ipacket table in the mySQL database. This is required for |
| 118 |
+ |
the database side of the server. |
| 119 |
+ |
|
| 120 |
+ |
droptable |
| 121 |
+ |
|
| 122 |
+ |
Drops an ipacket table from the mySQL database if one exists. |
