Build Scripts

To build portlets 3 standard scripts have been created that should be suitable for all portlets. These files are:

Please copy those file in your portlet's root directory.


build.xml

Targets provided by build.xml are:

  • setenv: sets classpath. All other targets depend on it;
  • compile: compiles java soruces
  • gwt-compile: runs gwt compiler
  • war: creates war package
  • javadoc: runs javadoc compiler
  • d4s-deploy: used for automatic portlet's deploy

Download from here the build.xml file. File:Build.xml

build.properties

Following properties, at least, must be customized:

  • war.filename
  • gwt-module (if any)
  • javadoc.doctitle
  • javadoc.windowtitle

Download from here the basic build.properties file. File:Build.properties

installPortlet.sh

Create a file named installPortlet.sh in your portlet's root directory containing:

#!/bin/bash
#
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc_portal" ]
then
	source "$HOME/.bashrc_portal"
fi

if [ -z "$CATALINA_HOME"  ]
then
	echo  "Cannot deploy portlet(s), tomcat was not detected!"
	exit 1
else
	ant -f build.xml d4s-deploy >& ant_logs.txt
	if [ $? != 0 ]
	then
		echo  "Cannot deploy portlet(s), build was not successfull!"
		exit 1
	fi
exit 0
fi

ETICS Configuration

In this page a guide to create an ETICS configuration for a D4Science-II portlet is provided.

Build Commands

Build commands specification is quite straightforward: you can refer to following screenshot.

Dependencies

In order to simplify portlet's dependencies management a special component has been created: org.gcube.portal.portal-framework. This component aims to:

  • decouple portlets from the specific portal implementation (e.g.: gridsphere, liferay,...);
  • provide a common environment to compile portlets;


All portlets should express a dependency on org.gcube.portal.portal-framework.

portal-framework details

At the moment, org.gcube.portal.portal-framework provide portlets that express it as dependency with:

  • a PORTAL_HOME env variable that point to actual location on filesystem of portal libraries;
  • a GWT_HOME anv variable that point to actual location of gwt installation directory;
  • gwt dependency;
  • liferay dependency;
