Build BiVeS Web Service

When you’ve cloned the source code:

git clone https://github.com/binfalse/BiVeS-WebApp

There are two supported options to build this project:

Build with Maven
Build with Ant

Build with Maven

Maven is a build automation tool. We ship a pom.xml together with the sources which tells maven about versions and dependencies. Thus, maven is able to resolve everything on its own and, in order to create the library, all you need to call is mvn package:

usr@srv $ mvn package

Tests run: 4, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.635 sec

Results :

Tests run: 4, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

That done, you’ll find the binaries in the target directory.

Build with Ant

Ant is an Apache tool for automating software build processes. There is a [source:build.xml build.xml] file included in the source code that tells ant what to do. Since ant is not able to resolve the dependencies you need to create a directory lib containing the following libraries:

BiVeS (download latest binary from ]bin.sems.uni-rostock.de](http://bin.sems.uni-rostock.de) or see sems.uni-rostock.de/trac/bives/wiki/BuildBives)
json-simple
Servlet API

We defined multiple targets in the build.xml. They can be displayed by calling ant -p:

usr@srv $ ant -p
Buildfile: /path/to/bivesws/build.xml

Main targets:

 clean    Delete old build and dist directories
 compile  Compile Java sources
 dist     Create war file
 sign     sign a dist
Default target: dist

clean up will delete all compiled files and produced libraries
compile compiles the source code
dist bundles all compiled binaries into a war package

For example, to create the war package just run ant dist:

usr@srv $ ant dist
Buildfile: /path/to/bivesws/build.xml

prepare:

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 1 source file to /path/to/bivesws/build/WEB-INF/classes

dist:
     [copy] Copying 1 file to /path/to/bivesws/build/WEB-INF/lib
      [jar] Building jar: /path/to/bivesws/dist/BiVeS-WS-1.2.2.war
