i-scream Server README |

====================== |

Compiling |
| 5 |
--------- |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The server can now easily be compiled without worrying about setting up any |
| 8 |
of the CLASSPATH's, or setting the path to JacORB. It's all self contained. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Typical sequence to compile; |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
./configure |
| 13 |
make build |
| 14 |
make install prefix=/some/path |
| 15 |
make clean |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In more detail, the first line ensures that the required libraries are |
| 18 |
available, and sets the Makefiles up so they know where everything is. |
| 19 |
The second line compiles all of the code and creates a JAR file in the |
| 20 |
build directory. |
| 21 |
The install line installs the server and libraries to a given location, |
| 22 |
along with the configuration files. |
| 23 |
Finally, the last line cleans up. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Running |
| 26 |
------- |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It is recommended that the components are started up in the following order. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
(This can be on multiple hosts if required, as long as the order is correct). |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Core |
| 33 |
ClientInterfaceMain |
| 34 |
DBInterface |
| 35 |
FilterManager |
| 36 |
RootFilter |
| 37 |
FilterMain |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
It is not necessary to start both the ClientInterfaceMain and DBInterface, |
| 40 |
the server will handle only one or both. Multiple Filter's can be started |
| 41 |
as required. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
These are all loaded through the ComponentManager. More details on how to |
| 44 |
operate this will be provided later on. Typing "make run" will make an |
| 45 |
attempt to load it up. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Check build/etc/default.properties to set the startup list and order. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
nb. You will need to ensure that the relevant libraries are in the |
| 50 |
build/lib directory. See the README in there for details. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Makefile |
| 53 |
======== |
| 54 |
The following targets are available; |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
build |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Compile the entire server package, include the IDL file. Generates the |
| 59 |
JAR file for the final package. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
run |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Run's the server from the JAR file in /build. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
clean |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Cleans all compiled code, and javadoc pages. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
distclean |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
Also cleans files left by configure, including the libraries. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
install |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
Installs the server to a given directory. Also takes a prefix; |
| 76 |
make install prefix = /usr/i-scream |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
cvsbuild |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
Builds any tagged version of the server from CVS. This saves the need to |
| 81 |
checkout a version to build it, as it's all done automatically; |
| 82 |
make install rev = RELEASE_1 |
| 83 |
Default tag is HEAD. |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
javadoc |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
Builds all the javadoc pages in the `doc' directory. |
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
buildutil |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
Builds a seperate JAR file, in `build' called `iscream-util.jar'. |
| 92 |
This file contains just the uk.ac.ukc.iscream.util package for |
| 93 |
use in other parts of the system, such as the clients. |
