Quick start

To install the Gateway module, you have to: clone this repository :

git clone https://gitlab.inria.fr/gazelle/applications/core/communication-tool-gateway.git

and launch this :

Wildfly Local start

mvn clean install
cd communication-tool-gateway-war
mvn org.wildfly.plugins:wildfly-maven-plugin:run

or this :

Quarkus Local start

Deployment

To deploy Gazelle-GCT-RC:

  1. cp gazelle-tm-ear/target/gazelle-tm.ear /usr/local/jboss7/standalone/deployments
  2. Display JBoss server logs, start JBoss and wait for ear deployment. tail -f /var/log/jboss7/standalone.log -n 1000
  3. The application can be browsed at http://localhost:8180/gazelle. Port could also be different whether you have modified the JBoss configuration. For more information about how to manage that externalization, please refer to general considerations for JBoss7.

Insert configuration values

Configuration can be done through the Administration interface or with an sql script.

Each time a configuration is modified, the application needs to be restarted.

To restart the application, there are 2 options:

  • Restart jboss: sudo service jboss restart
  • Touch the ear: touch /usr/local/jboss7/standalone/deployments/gazelle-tm.ear

Here is the list of configuration variables that must be defined:

postgres=\# \q
exit

update usr_users set password = MD5('gazelle')    #only en local mode , for change all password database to "gazelle"
INSERT INTO cmn_application_preference (id, class_name, description, preference_name, preference_value) VALUES (nextval('cmn_application_preference_id_seq'), 'java.lang.String', 'CGU URL', 'link_to_cgu', 'cgu link that need to be changed');
INSERT INTO cmn_application_preference (id, class_name, description, preference_name, preference_value) VALUES (nextval('cmn_application_preference_id_seq'), 'java.lang.String', '', 'default_gazelle_language', 'EN');
