Compiling and running the OWL browser
IntelliJ
These instructions are for IntelliJ7.0. Other versions may vary.
Setup a project
- Checkout all 3 packages from svn to <checkout-dir>
- Create a new module for each package setting each src/ folder as a source
- Each module should include dependencies on the jars in its lib/ folder
- Export junit.jar, owlapi-bin.jar, log4j.jar from owlmanager
- OWLBrowser is dependent on OWLHTML
- OWLHTML is dependent on OWLManager
- OWLBrowser has a web facet
- For each module, set Copy module output to /WEBINF/classes
- Set up a Web Resource Directory
- <checkout-dir>/owlbrowser/resources should be copied to /
- Set <checkout-dir>/owlbrowser/src as a source root
- In the Build Settings select create web module war file and enter a name for this
You can now build the war file and deploy to your own server or follow the instructions below to run/debug directly from IntelliJ.
Run the browser
- Create a new Tomcat Server run/debug configuration
- Select the application server (tested with Tomcat 5.5 - I believe 6.0 also works)
- Set the startup page to http://localhost:8080/browser/
- In the VM parameters, opt to give the server more memory (eg -Xmx1500M)
- In Deployment select the previously created web facet
- Ensure Deploy Web Facet is selected
- In Deployment Source choose the 'war' file you have specified previously
- Set the Application Context to /browser
You can now run/debug the browser in the usual way. A web browser should pop up with the correct location once Tomcat has started.
