generator-akana-service

Generator for writing a service/API for Akana Platform

Description

A Yeoman generator which scaffolds the code to create a service that can be hosted on the Akana platform along with an OSGi feature bundle for deploying on the Akana platform.

Installation

First, install Yeoman and generator-akana-service using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-akana-service

Then generate your new project:

yo akana-service

Build

Requirements

• Java SE
• Ant
• Maven

Steps

Create symlink to the lib folder under your Policy Manager installation directory.

ln -s $AKANA_HOME/sm80/lib/ lib

To generate an Eclipse project

mvn eclipse:eclipse

To build

cd build
ant

Build artifact: OSGi Repository Artifact: /build/dist/$PROJECT_NAME-$VERSION.zip

To deploy the build

Take the built ./build/dist/$PROJECT_NAME-$VERSION.zip file and unzip it under the $AKANA_HOME/sm80/lib folder. Use Akana container's Admin console to install the newly created 'Plugin'.

Development

See Authoring Yeoman Generators as well as the generator-generator for more info.

For local development usage, to allow yo to look locally rather than npm:

• clone this repo
• cd generator-akana-service
• npm link

Now yo will look for the cloned repo, local copy, of the generator.

If you don't know where npm keeps its files, try npm config get prefix + /lib/node_modules.

Getting To Know Yeoman

Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced. Feel free to learn more about him.
