Workflow monitor webapp

Hello -

I was just wondering, is there any documentation (xdoc, slides, notes) available for how to configure and run an instance of the OODT Workflow Monitor webapp with an active workflow manager?

I've successfully built and deployed the workflow monitor webapp to tomcat; however, many of the workflow status hyperlinks yield JSP exceptions even though I have a running instance of workflow manager at the required URL. This is undoubtedly due to a lack of configuration of the webapp on my part. Problem is I'm just not sure which files need to be configured with what parameters.

Thanks!
Rishi

Hey Cam,

Good guess -- if my suggestions on specifying the config don't work that's my next guess :)

Cheers,
Chris

I agree Chris.  For what it's worth, we're still using 5.5.x on another project.

Hi Dave,

Well it's not as simple as that -- 5.5.x is actively maintained, as are 6.x and 7.x. They are *different* architectures, hence, just "upgrading to a newer version" won't necessarily work (as you noticed with 6 versus 7). BTW, I (and others) still actively use 5.5.x :)

Cheers,
Chris

Yeah how about fixing things up to work with the newer Tomcat?  I noticed a
similar situation with webgrid but found that (in my unofficial,
unscientific) testing, it worked just fine with Tomcat 7.

Rishi and Chris,

Sorry I am late to the Workflow WebApp party, but I noticed all your JIRA
issues reference using Tomcat 6.0.18, but the web-app-tomcat xml config file
has 5.5.9 in the filename.

Could this issue be caused by running a tomcat 5.X webapp in Tomcat 6?

Thank you Chris for detailing the instructions!

I'll work on getting it running per your suggestions soon as possible, and document the steps for general use.

Re: Workflow monitor webapp

Hey Rishi,

Yep, basically the steps are:

1. mvn war to build WAR file
2. stop tomcat
3. copy src/main/resources/workflow-webapp-tomcat-5.5.9.xml to $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/wmonitor.xml
4. mkdir /usr/local/workflow-monitor 
5. cp -R src/main/resources/workflow-instance-met.xml /usr/local/workflow-monitor
6. cp -R ../../workflow/src/main/resources/examples/workflow-lifecycle.xml /usr/local/workflow-monitor
7. edit $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/wmonitor.xml
 org.apache.oodt.cas.workflow.webapp.inst.metFields.filePath
 org.apache.oodt.cas.workflow.webapp.lifecycleFilePath

 Set the above paths to /usr/local/workflow-monitor equivalents

8. Start tomcat

Would be great to have some XDOCS produced for the above :)

Cheers,
Chris

This is undoubtedly due to a lack of configuration of the webapp on my part. Problem is I'm just not sure which files need to be configured with what parameters.

Re: Workflow monitor webapp

Posted by "Verma, Rishi (317I)" <Ri...@jpl.nasa.gov>.
Hi Chris,

I've detailed the specifics within the following JIRA issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-131
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-132<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-13>
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-133

Essentially the problem is the hyperlinks within the workflow webapp return Java/JSP exceptions. These occur from a fresh install of the workflow manager webapp (ie. no editing of config files or modifications performed). I'm not sure what configuration is necessary, it seems that editing the "META-INF/workflow-webapp-tomcat-5.5.9.xml" may be necessary?

Thanks for your help!
Rishi

Hey Rishi,

Great questions. Let's start with some specifics -- which links in particular are failing? Can you show some screenshots (in particular, filing a JIRA issue, or set of them would be great).

I'd be happy to help out here!

Chris

Hello -

I was just wondering, is there any documentation (xdoc, slides, notes) available for how to configure and run an instance of the OODT Workflow Monitor webapp with an active workflow manager?

I've successfully built and deployed the workflow monitor webapp to tomcat; however, many of the workflow status hyperlinks yield JSP exceptions even though I have a running instance of workflow manager at the required URL. This is undoubtedly due to a lack of configuration of the webapp on my part. Problem is I'm just not sure which files need to be configured with what parameters.

Thanks!
Rishi

Hey Rishi,

Great questions. Let's start with some specifics -- which links in particular are failing? Can you show some screenshots (in particular, filing a JIRA issue, or set of them would be great).

I'd be happy to help out here!

Cheers,
Chris
