Running Samples with the Maven Based Build
Hi Devs,
As I understand the two main tutorials available on the website
(Getting started with file based server, Getting started with Web UI
server) deal with the legacy module in the Ace trunk. So I guess I
have to build the legacy module using Ant to follow these articles. Am
I correct? Are there any similar documents for the Maven based build?
Thanks

The Maven build works just fine. No issues there. But I couldn't make
much progress with the Web UI. So I wanted to test the legacy version
and see if that works.

yes, as Marcel said, its for comparison only. In fact, i believe we
just could delete it, and use a historic checkout for comparison
instead. That would not confuse people just jumping in and wondering
about the differences..
@Hiranya: Do you have an issue with the maven build ?
If so, we would like to hear.

Hello Hiranya,
We are right now not actively maintaining the legacy version. It's still there for quick comparison with the new, Maven build. You are right that the easiest way to update dependencies with the Ant build is to put them in the ext folder. My advice would be to stick with the Maven build though.

Hi Marcel,
Thanks for the information. I have made significant progress with your
help. However I also tried to build the legacy module using Ant, but I
got a whole bunch of compilation errors. It seems the Felix jars in
legacy/core/ext are bit outdated. I had to make some changes to the
code to get it compiled. Is this to be expected? In that case I can
provide the changes I did as a patch. However I think it's probably
easier to update the Felix jars in the ext directory.
Thanks,
Hiranya

Hello Hiranya,
Yes, the documentation is still lagging behind a bit as we've basically switched the whole build to Maven now. To build the project, start here:
http://incubator.apache.org/ace/maven-build.html
That should get you two runnable OSGi systems: a server and a target. Run both on your local machine, and point your browser to http://localhost:8080/webui/ to get started.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Re: Running Samples with the Maven Based Build

Hello Zoe,
The web UI uses a checkout/commit paradigm just like version control systems, so before you start, you "checkout" the data on the server, then you make your changes, and finally you "commit" them back to the server. Only then will they be deployed. We did it like this so you can apply all your changes in one go, instead of running the risk that partial changes get deployed while you're still making them.
When assigning bundles to targets (via features and distributions) these bundles do not physically show up under the gateway on disk. The only thing that's done is that the metadata (the actual assignments of bundles to targets) gets stored. Whenever a target (or rather, management agent on the target) polls the server for an update, a deployment package (full or delta between two versions) is generated on the fly, based on the metadata and the bundles in the OBR.
Greetings, Marcel

Re: Running Samples with the Maven Based Build

Hi Angelo
> Judging from the steps you described, it seems you missed the 'retrieve' and 'store' steps, which I glossed over in the video. Perhaps http://incubator.apache.org/ace/getting-started-with-the-web-ui-based-server.html is of more help.

Yes - that's exactly right. I ran through it again and can now replicate
what you did in the video. Thank you so much for your help.
Do you think it's worth updating the getting started instructions as
follows:
1) Remove this
http://incubator.apache.org/ace/getting-started-with-the-file-based-server.html
- unless there is a way to make it work?
2) Update the Web based instructions to:
(a) specify Chrome or Safari, or at least provide a warning about FF.
(b) point to the new location of the ace-server and ace-target
(c) Add a link to your videos.
(d) Add the explanation of what the web ui (see Marcel's note) is
doing under the "how does it work' section.
I'd be happy to provide some updated text - but possibly if you are in
the middle of refactoring the Web UI it's not worth changing the
instructions just yet. Wdyt?

Hi Zoe,
Judging from the steps you described, it seems you missed the 'retrieve' and 'store' steps, which I glossed over in the video. Perhaps http://incubator.apache.org/ace/getting-started-with-the-web-ui-based-server.html is of more help.

I got further with Chrome. Using Chrome I can:
1) Add artifacts
2) Add a feature and associate artifacts with it using drag and drop
3) Add a distribution and associate features with it
4) Drag and drop the distribution to the gateway....
Then nothing. Listing the bundles in the gateway shows no servicebased*
bundles. The frequency of the "[Info ] [ ] Highest remote: null /
Highest local: null" makes it very difficult to do much with the gateway
console :-/ I would also have expected that teh servicebased* files
would show up on disk under the gateway somewhere. They don't, but I may
be misunderstanding how this should work :-)

Hm, yes, about the drag and drop... It's very well possible this does not work on Firefox. Last time I checked, Safari and Chrome were both fine. This has something to do with the dnd plugin we use.

I'm also stuck at this point. I can add any OSGi bundle into the
artifact column. I can create new features and distributions in the
corresponding columns. But the drag-n-drop across different columns
doesn't seem to do anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi - I followed through Angelo's 'Simple Deployment' video and got up to
the point where I could add the three files (servicebased-host.jar etc)
as 'Artifacts'. The next step in the video shows creating 'Group's and
associating the artifacts with groups. In the current WebUI the 'Group'
column is replaced with 'Feature'. I was hoping that this was just a
name change - however, although I could create 'Feature's, the drag and
drop which should associate Artifacts with Features does not work for
me. Any suggestions on how to figure out what is not working would be
welcome :-)

I have an ulterior motive :-) I'm talking at ApacheCon - its a beginners
OSGi talk on interesting OSGi projects and what they are good for. So
I'm testing the 'getting started' instructions for a whole bunch of
projects. I'd like to say a couple of things about ACE - but I feel I
need to be able to do a very simple command line based deployment at the
minimum.

That's useful thanks. There are so many of those messages that I never
actually get the console prompt. Is there a way to turn them off?

I didn't find one - I agree it would be really helpful. Although - I'd
be more than happy to see something working from a command line :-/

I'll have more of a play this afternoon....will let you know where I get to.

Right - they *look* fine as far as I can tell - but I do get an error
from the server build:
"ERROR: The data file path must be relative, not absolute."
That may be OK but having something called 'ERROR' is always a bit
disconcerting for a new user :-) Is it something I have done wrong?

Hi Zoe,
glad to see you + aries people here on ace. ;)
The log message "Highest remote: null / Highest local: null" was also
a little confusing to me, but it just says, that there is nothing to
be deployed on the managementagent (old speak: gateway) yet.
About: "The WebUI is there but looks a little odd"
Its a rush GWT port of a commercial UI that has not been open sourced
by luminis. Currently, Marcel is doing a Vaadlin Version instead -
heard its much more straightforward to develop such a ui than raw GWT.
So, better we'll wait for him here. But i agree the current webUI is
not the best thing since sliced bread.
But it works, i believe there was a screencast on how to use it by
Angelo ? Not sure. If not we should make one. Otherwise its quite hard
to get started.
As a quick hint: you need to add bundles the repository by copying
them to the upload folder (not sure, its called repository i guess in
the server folder). They should appear on the left column in the ui.
Also, when running one or more gateways, they should appear in the UI, too.
Now you can bring the "two" together by wiring them: create a group,
drag the artifact (left) on the group, and so on. So its drag an drop
based. Coloring indicate "wired" pieces.
Bottomline:
Your builds are fine, just the UI needs assistance and/or a replacement.

I have exactly the same problem. I followed the build instructions for
the maven build, got the server running and the gateway (albeit with a
distracting info message every second(?) "Highest remote: null / Highest
local: null") - did not get any further than this so far. The WebUI is
there but looks a little odd - I'd like to get the command line
instructions working, any pointers would be much appreciated.
