Starting the Server [top]
To start the server from the install-directory:
Do note that the default command for the jar file is to start the -client- not the server. Ensure that you add the -server arg to the command line call
  • *nix:  Execute the startServer.sh (some configuration might be needed)
    > command line option allows the use of -D to start as a deamon
  • Windows: startServer.bat
  • Command Line (any platform): 
    Default: java -jar jauus.jar -server
    Alt: java -cp jauus.jar integrity.server.IntegrityServer
  • with an external Config File:
    Default: java -jar jauus.jar -server -c ./conf/server.properties
    Alt: java -cp jauus.jar integrity.server.IntegrityServer -c ./conf/server.properties
Running the Client  [top]
The client can be ran in two serpate modes
  • Default (command line): java -jar jauus.jar 
  • w/Classpath: java -cp jauus.jar integrity.client.JAUUS
  • Double-Click: if you OS is configured to execute jar files, they application can be ran by double clicking  jauus.jar

server.properties  ( file: <install directory>/src/integrity/server )  [top]
<jauus>

	<server>
	  <port>1025</port>
	  <config-dir>/prod/jauus/server.conf</config-dir>
               <application-dir>/prod/jauus/applications</application-dir>

	</server>
</jauus>
 Server root:  [top]
  • port: The port to start the server (Note that on a *nix  box, any port below 1024 must be started by root which is highly recommended against
  • config-dir:  the directory that will house the <application-name>.xml files . These are the individual application config files.
  • application-dir: The location of the folders that will house the application software files
Client.properties  ( file: <install directory>/src/integrity/)  [top]
<jauus>
	<client>
	  <server>108.168.92.149</server>

	  <application>instacard</application>
	  <offline-execute>true</offline-execute>
	</client>
</jauus>          
 client root:  [top]
  • server: The location of the server
  • port: port the server is expected to be listening on
  • web-server: (setting for a later relase) this is to ask a JSP/CGI page where to look for the server if connectivity fails to server:port of the config file.  It will also be used to send an email ... but all this is coming a bit later. Right now I'm working on solidifying the core business logic.
  • application:  this is the name of the application which MUST match the name of the xml file under server.properties:: jauus:server:config-dir
  • offline-execute: Check auto-start setting under <application-name>.xml to see if the application is to be started IF connectivity fails to the server.  If it does not fail, then the the auto-start setting is checked
Note: Both web-server and offline-execute are to be completed in a future release

 structure root:  [top]
  • softwarehome: this is the name of the folder that will be under the folder defined in the server. Since this file is passed back to the client the full path is excluded for security reasons.
    An example of this is:  in server.properties you have pointed the application-dir to /prod/jauus/application.home  then you would set the <application name>.xml to point to xervlet.
    This will in turn concat the two (on the server side ONLY ) to create a single path of: /prod/jauus/application.hom/xervlet/  in this directory would be all of your binaries, configs..whatever you wanted to include
  • auto-start: Auto-start the application after verifying the checksums
  • autostartargs: the command to start the application
 exclude root:  [top]
  • file-0: name of files that are NOT to be included in the checksum verification. If they are missing from the client, they will not be pushed down. This is useful when you have an older version in the same directory: xervlet.7.13.04.jar and you have set your extensions to jar files.
 extensions root:  [top]
  • jar: this can be any non-repeating xml tag.  <tag1>, <basefile>...etc.  This allows you to set the extension types, minus the files listed in the exclude tag, that will be appended to the the PAK and individual checksums.
 excludeExtensions:  [top]
  • bak: this can be any non-repeating xml tag.  <tag1>, <basefile>...etc.  This allows you to set the extension type that will be excluded. It works in conjunction with <exclude> which is a single defined -file- exclusion tag
