Easy CCM Development Configuration
==================================
Development environment for CCM / APLAWS with minimal prerequisites and minimal
installation requirements, i.e. a simplification of the "ccm" environment.
Created for the 'new' CCM / APLAWS with standard compliant deployment and
execution context.
Based on great work by Terry. Many thanks!
=========================================
CURRENT STATUS: WORK IN PROGRESS !!
Use it with care!
Some functions do not work as they should
=========================================
1. LICENSING
See http://aplaws.org
2. PREREQUISITES
Java 6.x
Ant 1.7.x
Oracle 10g RDBMS or PostgresQL up to version 8.2
3. HOW TO USE
(a) Change to the development base directory (usually "trunk") and
check out the source tree:
svn co http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/aplaws/trunk/
(b) Copy files *.xml and *.properties of THIS directory (i.e. tools-ng/ecdc)
into your development base directory ("trunk" above)
(c) If you don't already have a project.xml file in place, copy the file
project.xml.complete, too, and rename it to project.xml
Comment out those modules to don't need. Keep the included modules in sync
with the bundles application file! (see later).
Specify name, version, release as you need, don't alter the other
attributes (exp. ccmVersion and webapps)!
(d) Edit the file local.ccm.properties and replace the specified bundle name
by your working bundle. Keep the list of modules in sync with
project.xml!
(e) ant install-tomcat
will create a runtime directory and install Tomcat 6 for testing.
(f) ant configure
will create the compile and deploy tasks
(g) ant deploy
will compile and deploy into your test environment (runtime)
As a temporary measure:
copy ${CATALINA_HOME}/lib/system/ccm-core*
to ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/ext
otherwise you will get a malformedURL exception during server startup
(h) ant load-bundle
will load the database. May take several minutes!
(i) ant start
will start tomcat
(j) Open your browser:
http://localhost:8080/
http://localhost:8080/ccm/content-center/
Be aware: the previous ccm-scripts based environment used
port 9000 by default. May be still specified in your
bundle file (integration.properties). Wrong port number will
result in a stylesheet compilation error during server startup!
(k) ant create-war
will create a war file from the deployed project for
installation in any Tomcat 6 compliant servlet container.
(l) ant package
will create a repository of binary modules which may serve
as a base for distribution and user install & maintenance
4. NOTES
Configuration:
ccm-ldn-aplaws/bundles/* ("devel" bundle is default)
local.build.properties
local.runtime.properties
local.ccm.properties
Not implemented:
ccm set|get|load|run|stop
Other?
Limitations:
NOT TESTED MUCH!
localhost:8080
Other changes:
Eclipse .classpath is generated
ant install-tomcat replaces host-init (sort-of)
Eclipse:
Import 'aplaws' folder into a workspace
Use File > Import to import aplaws.launch
(if aplaws doesn't appear in Debug configurations)
Debug > Debug configurations > aplaws > Debug
