EMBEDDING KARAF IN A WEB APPLICATION
====================================
Purpose
-------
Embed Karaf in a web application.
Prerequisites for Running the Example
-------------------------------------
You must have the following installed on your machine:
- JDK 1.5 or higher
- Maven 2.0.9 or higher
Building and Deploying
----------------------
You can build and deploy this example in two ways:
- A. Using Jetty: Quick and Easy
This option is useful if you want to see the example up and
running quickly.
- B. Using Your Favorite Web Container
This option is useful if you want to see Karaf running
as a web application inside your favorite web container.
A. Using Jetty: Quick and Easy
------------------------------
To build the example and deploy to Jetty, complete the
following steps:
1. In a command prompt/shell, change to the directory
that contains this README.txt file.
2. Enter the following Maven command:
mvn package jetty:run
This Maven command builds the example web application, starts
Jetty and deploys the web application to Jetty. Once complete,
you should see the following printed to the console:
[INFO] Started Jetty Server
[INFO] Starting scanner at interval of 10 seconds.
Running a Client
----------------
To test the example, you can use the Apache Felix Karaf client
to connect to the server and issue a Karaf command. For example,
try executing the "features:list" command as follows:
1. In a command prompt/shell, change to your product
installation directory.
2. Run the following command:
java -jar lib/karaf-client.jar features:list
In this case, you should see output similar to the following:
[uninstalled] [2.5.6.SEC01 ] spring karaf-${version}
[uninstalled] [1.2.0 ] spring-dm karaf-${version}
[uninstalled] [1.1.0.1-fuse-SNAPSHOT] wrapper karaf-${version}
[uninstalled] [1.1.0.1-fuse-SNAPSHOT] obr karaf-${version}
[uninstalled] [1.1.0.1-fuse-SNAPSHOT] http karaf-${version}
[uninstalled] [1.1.0.1-fuse-SNAPSHOT] webconsole karaf-${version}
[installed ] [1.1.0.1-fuse-SNAPSHOT] ssh karaf-${version}
[installed ] [1.1.0.1-fuse-SNAPSHOT] management karaf-${version}
B. Using Your Favorite Web Container
------------------------------------
You can deploy the web application to your favorite web
container, by completing the following steps:
1. In a command prompt/shell, change to the directory
that contains this README.txt file.
2. Enter the following command:
mvn package
Maven builds the web application, web-${version}.war, and
saves it in the target directory of this example. Deploy this
WAR file to your favorite web container. Once the application
is running, you can test it using the Apache Felix Karaf client
as described in the "Running a Client" section above.
