  • $ICECUBE_TOOLS: Where the suite of tools for Icecube is installed on your system
  • $JBOSS_ROOT: The location of your pristine JBoss installation.
  • $ICEBOSS_HOME: The parent directory of the jboss deployment location. Nominally, this is just '~'

• The following tasks must of have been already completed and working.

  1. Have a working understanding of creating BFD workspaces
  2. Have a running Mercury Environment on your development system.
  3. The current release of DAQ-PROD be built and deployed.

• $ICECUBE_TOOLS has the very latest rsync of tools in it. Verify that $ICECUBE_TOOLS is in your $PATH env variable

Generating and Deploying the Portlet Applications

1. In the $JBOSS_ROOT directory, create a new bfd tools only install. This may require you to remove the existing tools directory currently there.
> cd $JBOSS_ROOT
> $rm -rf tools
> bfd init -t $ICECUBE_TOOLS
2. Download the IceAxe source into your home dir and install it into the clean deployment area.
> cd ~
> tar zxf IceAxe-jboss.tgz -C $ICEBOSS_HOME/jboss/server/iceboss0/
3. Create a new BFD workspace and initialize it into your environment
> mkdir ~/ICEAXE
> cd ~/ICEAXE
> bfd init $ICECUBE_TOOLS
> source ./setup.(c)sh

4. Use BFD to checkout and build the ICEAXE meta-project.
> bfd co -rV00-00-03 ICEAXE
> ant lib.all

5. Setup this workspace to deploy into JBoss and eXo.
> ant defaultDeployment -DDEPLOYMENT=${ICEBOSS_HOME}/jboss/server/iceboss0/deploy
> source $ICEBOSS_HOME/jboss/setup/setup-iceboss.sh # This was setup in your Mercury Environment.
> ant deploy.portlets.all
6. Start the JBoss server.
