How to use a pear package, classpath problem with CAS Visual Debugger
Dear UIMA users,
What is the correct way to use a PEAR package for a final customer?
We used the following tools:
- Pear Installer
- CAS Visual Debugger
Unfortunately we need to add the CLASSPATH contained in the
metada/setenv.txt file when calling the CAS Visual Debugger.
Something like:
export CLASSPATH=...
java -cp ${UIMA_HOME}/lib/uima-core.jar:${UIMA_HOME}/lib/uima-examples.jar:${UIMA_HOME}/lib/uima-tools.jar:${CLASSPATH}
org.apache.uima.tools.cvd.CVD
Any idea why it is not automatized and notably why we cannot just
click on the "Run your AE in the CAS Visual ..." button from the Pear
Installer GUI?
I've read that the setenv.txt should'nt be used and that the UIMA
tools read the classpath from metadata/install.xml.
Is there a way to verify that the correct classpath is used in these tools?
I'm using UIMA 2.3.1 on linux kubuntu 9.04 with jdk1.6.0_17.
Thanks,
Thomas Heitz

You're possibly not using the correct descriptor. The
xml file you need to point to when loading it in CVD
(or any other application) is the one in the top-level
pear directory, not the one you created yourself.

I'm not following. What's the difference between directory
and file paths? Can you give us an example?

Re: How to use a pear package, classpath problem with CAS Visual Debugger
Posted by Thomas Heitz <th...@googlemail.com>.
Using directory paths instead of file paths for the classpath of the
install.xml is the reason why it was not working.
What was very confusing is that the setenv.txt that is generated from
the install.xml was correctly expanding the directory paths.
I think it would be very useful to have the same expansion mechanism
for the classpath of the VM.

It does. It doesn't even have to do this itself, the
core UIMA framework takes care of that. I don't know
what could be going wrong in your case. I even tried
installing a pear into a .tmp dir on linux, no problem.
Try setting the log level to "ALL" in CVD before you
load the pear. Maybe that will turn up something useful.

So I runPearInstaller.sh/bat is the normal way to install a pear
package for a final customer.
And any other tools not provided by Apache UIMA should work if
runPearInstaller works.

I have used the generated top level descriptor projectid_pear.xml
which contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pearSpecifier xmlns="http://uima.apache.org/resourceSpecifier">
<pearPath>/home/thomas/.tmp/uima-eclipse</pearPath>
</pearSpecifier>
I thought the CVD would read metada/install.xml to know the classpath
but it doesn't seem to do so as I got a class not found error.
when using the menu Run -> Load AE on the top-level descriptor.
It works correctly when I add the aforementioned parameters when
calling the CVD.
The metadata/install.xml contains this section when installed with the
pear installer:
<PROCESS>
<ACTION>set_env_variable</ACTION>

<VAR_VALUE>/home/thomas/.tmp/uima-eclipse/target/classes:/home/thomas/.tmp/uima-eclipse/src:/home/thomas/.tmp/uima-eclipse/lib:/home/thomas/.tmp/uima-eclipse/resources:/home/thomas/.tmp/uima-eclipse/conf:</VAR_VALUE>
