car file deployement
Tue, 2008-08-05 18:13 — ramyatata
I am new to Luminis Portal. I have experience in Java/J2EE Development. I am working on deploying car file on the Luminis Server which has Java Files. What is the widely used procedure to deploy these Car Files. Eclipse with Ant or simple plain Javac? I am using eclipse and it compiles the files with Errors which gives me ClassnotFountExcception on Luminis Portal. I am adding library files to the build path to remove the compilation errors, but still getting ChainedRuntimeException.
And also can a Luminis Channel retrieve data from Banner Database directly?
Thanks
Ramya

Ant deployment configuration
Ramya,
We bit the bullet a while back and just wrote a custom Ant deployment file. (Sadly Java does not offer Capistrano!) We have made good use out of this Ant file, so I documented how it works and uploaded it to the Lumdev SVN repository: http://svn.lumdev.net/Luminis/Scripts/CSU/deploy/
As far as ClassnotFountException, make sure that your libraries on your development machine exactly match what is available on your production machine. Eclipse will automatically let you know of any compilation errors if your code references something that is not available in your classpath.
L****** channels could probably retrieve data from Banner via whatever functionality is included in the classes that L****** uses, but as there is little to no documentation on these classes, and the source code is not available, I would recommend using an external platform to get this data. There are several implementations on this website of using the iPerson object to pass user credentials to an external location. A more secure solution might be to create a GCF connector to an external application (passing the username and password), and pull data from Banner there.
Good luck!
