Building

Prerequisites

Make sure you have a recent installation of Java JDK 1.6.0+ as well as Maven 2. Also there are two more external dependencies:

Steps

  1. Build the prerequisites.
  2. Checkout sources: git checkout git://github.com/smee/elateXam.git
  3. Build and install the taskmodel: cd taskmodel mvn clean install cd ..
  4. Build and install the examserver: cd examserver mvn clean install

Running

If you have an installation of Tomcat v5.5 available, you may also directly install all needed artifacts by changing the maven commands above to mvn clean install -PdeployTomcat -Dtomcat.path=/path/to/tomcat-5.5.27/'

Due to hardcoded paths, some new functions are only available in apache-tomcat-7.0.29 and with a linux-server. (Core still works on Windows and with other Serversoftware.) *The .war-files have to be saved on Linux in /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.29/webapps. *The .war-files have to be named examServer-leipzig.war and taskmodel-core-view.war.

Assuming your tomcat configuration is unchanged, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/examServer
