Barracuda DiscRack - Setup & Installation
barracuda.gif (11456 bytes)This document describes how to setup and install the Barracuda Disc Rack application.

Dependencies:

  • Barracuda - As of 10/04/01 DiscRack is running against Barracuda Final 1.0, which has been compiled against XMLC 2.0.1. You will need to make sure that barracuda.jar is in the WEB-INF's /lib directory

  • Enhydra - Unfortunately XMLC 2.0.1 will not run in Enhydra 3.1; you will need to upgrade to Enhydra 3.1.1b1. This jar is included in WEB-INF/jars. If you use a different application server, you will need to put enhydra.jar into your WEB-INF/lib directory.

Installation:

  1. Download and unpack the BarracudaDiscRack zip. This will give you everything in the current build.

  2. Make sure that IDB is working and that your discRack.conf file in the WEB-INF directory is pointing to the IDB database in your /db directory (you can create a version of this from sample.discRack.conf in the same directory).

  3. If you wish to compile the system, just cd to the /src directory and use the ant.bat or ant.sh files. BarracudaDisckRack comes with its own version of Ant, so you you don't need to download, install or configure anything--just type one of the following commands:

    • ant clean - this will clean the system
    • ant compile - will compile all the source
    • ant dist - will generate the disc rack jars (default)
    • ant javadocs - will generate the javadocs for the project

    If you just type 'ant' without any parameters, it will do an 'ant dist' by default.

  4. Add the example as a WAR application to your appserver. Restart the server and you should be in business...
