Starting apps for development
In order to run a component it is required to run csw-location-server. Moreover, even to start event service or configuration service, csw-location-server should be running.
But for developers to start csw-location-server first and then configuration service and then event service is a tedious job. So, for development purpose, it is recommended to use a shell script which will start csw-location-server and/or configuration service and/or event service and/or alarm service.
Assuming that developer has downloaded csw-apps-<some-version>.zip from csw releases and unzipped it.
There are three folders, as follows, in csw-apps-<some-version> * bin * lib * and conf.
All the shell scripts provided by csw reside in bin folder. The shell script referred in this segment is named as csw-services.sh. Go to the bin folder and hit ./csw-services.sh --help. This will list all possible options applicable for the script.
This shell script will start csw-location-server as the first step regardless of any options provided.
The execution of the script is such that it starts csw-location-server, then checks whether to start configuration service from provided --config option, if provided, then starts configuration service. Next, it checks whether to start event service from provided --event option, if provided, it starts event service. Next, it checks whether to start alarm service from provided --alarm option, if provided, it starts alarm service.
With this, the component code is now ready to connect to configuration service and event service started via csw-services.sh.
