Transcript Developing in CAS

Developing CAS in Eclipse
Edit and Debug
Maven is Best Practice
• Compile and Zip WAR file with Maven 2
– Manage “dependencies” (external JARs from other
software libraries or products)
– Run tests to validate each change cycle
– Build JAR, WAR, or other standard “artifacts”
• Edit with Eclipse
– Syntax and help for Java and XML
– Widely used, modularly extensible IDE
• How about simple testing with Eclipse?

Assume You Know How
• Install current Java
• Install Apache Tomcat
• Install and use Maven 2.0.9
Because this is all part of the standard CAS development instructions.

By any other Name
• A “project” in Eclipse or Maven is a directory
with source subdirectories that can be
compiled to produce a JAR file or zipped up to
produce a WAR file
• A “Java Project” has source to compile. It can
produce a program or a JAR library.
• A “static Web project” is a bunch of HTML,
CSS, and image files that you can deploy to
any Web Server. It has no Java.
By Any Other Name
• A “dynamic Web application project” has a
WEB-INF subdirectory with a web.xml file
• A “WAR file” is a zipped up copy of the
dynamic Web application, but the unzipped
directory is also sometimes called a WAR too.
• A “context” is the runtime environment
created by the Web server to run the code in a
dynamic Web application
Ganymede WST
• Dynamic Web projects can only be created
empty. A Java SE project cannot be converted
into a dynamic Web project. The JA-SIG CAS
source is an ordinary Java SE source project.
• Create an empty dynamic Web project. Copy
the cas-server-webapp contents. Configure
the CAS project as a “library module” for the
Web project . Finally, copy external JAR
dependencies into the WEB-INF/lib.
WST Runtime Magic
• <Context docBase="casx" path="/casx“
source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:casx"/>
• Get files from the dynamic Web project dir.
• Get classes from the CAS compiler output
directory.
• No support for Maven dependencies.

MyEclipse
• Good News: MyEclipse can add “dynamic Web
application” behavior to an existing Java (SE)
project.
• Bad News: MyEclipse uses the WEBINF/classes directory as a build work area, so
the WebContent directory can’t be in casserver-webapp
• Copy cas-server-webapp source to an new
WebContent directory
MyEclipse Deployment
• Web application is copied to the real external
{tomcat}/webapps directory and the real
external server configuration is started
• Tomcat runs with normal environment, under
with Eclipse debugging
• Any problems can be fixed by standard Tomcat
documentation and configuration
• Application can also run under Tomcat
without Eclipse

SVN Repository Exploring
Checkout
• JA-SIG source repository
looks like a tree of
projects
• Select the trunk or a
tagged release and
check out as a Java (SE)
project
Update Dependencies
Maven: cas-server-core is a “project”
Eclipse: cas-server-core/src/main/java is a “src dir”

WST in Ganymede EE
WST New Dynamic Web Project
New Dynamic Web Project Wizard
Cut and Paste
• Copy (cut and paste) the Web application files
(cas-server-webapp/src/main/webapp/*)
from the CAS source project to the
WebContent directory of the new dynamic
Web project
• Click OK to replace the generated web.xml file
in WEB-INF
WST Java EE Module Dependencies
Get the POM dependencies
• “cd” to Workspace, CAS source project
directory
• run “mvn install” command
• Refresh the Eclipse view of the project.
• Go to cas-server-webapp/target/cas-serverwebapp-3.3/WEB-INF/lib
• Copy all the external JAR files (exclude the casserver-*.jar files) to the WEB-INF/lib of the
new dynamic Web project
Validation
• WST has validators for HTML, XML, etc.
• Some CAS source files fail validation (headers,
footers, etc.)
• In WST, only option is to disable validation for
the entire project.
MyEclipse
Add Web Project Capabilities
to existing CAS project
MyEclipse Wizard
Adding Web capabilities
• MyEclipse changes the default compiler output
directory to WebContent/WEB-INF/classes
• MyEclipse adds its editors and syntax filters to the
project
• MyEclipse adds the J2EE (1.4 or 5) package of
libraries to the compiler classpath
• There are now HTML and XML files with “errors”.
[Right click the directories, select MyEclipse,
Exclude from Validation]
J2EE 1.4 Libraries
Sanity Check
• cas-server-webapp
– will be used as the source for Maven
– should reflect your production environment
(probably on another host)
– is associated through SVN to the ja-sig source
• WebContent
– used by Eclipse (tell SVN to ignore it)
– reflects your local test Tomcat environment
WEB-INF/classes
• Source directories are compiled and classes
are stored here
• Data files (resources) are copied here
• add “cas-server-webapp/src/main/webapp/
WEB-INF/classes” as a MyEclipse “source”
directory to get *.properties files
• Put JUnit class files someplace else (/test-bin)
Select one or more J2EE App Servers
Exploded deployments are changed “on the fly” after save and compile.
