This file covers deploying the gwt created ajax code and servlet to a non-google
|
5
|
version of tomcat. This allows for the installation of the servlet(s) along
|
6
|
side a normal metacat installation. This file assumes you've already done
|
7
|
the steps highlighted in the README file.
|
8
|
|
9
|
1) Create a servlet on your tomcat instance called "rpc". This is a simple
|
10
|
servlet that just runs the google remote procedure call (rpc) services. Use
|
11
|
the web.xml file from the ./tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF directory. You'll
|
12
|
also need to copy all of the gwt jar files from your gwt installation as well
|
13
|
as all of the jar files in ./lib. Use the gwt-user.jar and gwt-dev.jar from
|
14
|
metacat/lib. If you use the ones from the gwt distro, tomcat won't load them
|
15
|
due to the presence of javax.servlet.Servlet.
|
16
|
|
17
|
2) copy ./src/org/kepler/web/service/KeplerServiceServlet.java to
|
18
|
metacat/src/org/kepler/web/service/ and update the KeplerServiceServlet.java
|
19
|
Edit the file with the correct url to your metacat servlet (line 6 in the code).
|
20
|
Make sure the moduleRelativeURL exactly matches the url that will be browsed
|
21
|
to! I.E. Don't use "localhost" if you intend to browse to an actual machine
|
22
|
name. This confuses the RPC and will cause problems.
|
23
|
|
24
|
3) Copy the lib/gwt-*.jar files to metacat/lib. Note this may cause some
|
25
|
problems with jsp compilation.
|
26
|
|
27
|
4) run 'ant package' (from the ajax dir) and copy the newly created
|
28
|
kepler-web.jar file to metacat/lib/. Make sure you updated the hard coded
|
29
|
servlet paths in the java code before doing this.
|
30
|
|
31
|
5) run 'ant install' from your metacat directory
|
32
|
|
33
|
6) make sure tomcat restarts
|
34
|
|
35
|
7) run ./KeplerClient-compile and copy the contents of the www directory
|
36
|
to some web accessible location, then browse to the KeplerClient.html file
|
37
|
and the javascript should run.
|

--------------------------------
|
40
|
If this doesn't work for some reason, keep in mind the main things you need.
|
41
|
They are:
|
42
|
* the rpc servlet
|
43
|
* the KeplerServiceServlet servlet. In the web.xml file, I have called this
|
44
|
'gwt' so the address will be: http://server:8080/servletpath/gwt
|
45
|
* the compiled javascript (ajax) code
|
46
|
* hard coded server/servlet paths correctly changed
|
47
|
* all jar files accessible to tomcat
|
