Develop environment for the BiBiServ framework.

BiBiServ Developer Environment

This project contains the necessary tools to develop a web application for the bibiserv framework.

• Wizard : a web application to build a tool description in a user friendly way
• CodeGen : a commandline tool for generating a application from a tool description file

bibiserv_dev's Issues

Remove webstart submodule

WebStart is an outdated way to start Java programs directly from a web browser. The CodeGen process doesn't generate webstart pages per default anymore - it must be explity enabled using a Java system property. For backward compatibility the xml schema must contain an optional webstart section, but the wizard should not support this any more.

Wizard unit test could fail due to encoding problems ...

We detect that under some circumstances the units could fail with an (UTF-8) encoding problem. The error occurs when an UTF-8 encoded XML file (with german umlaute) is read, encoded as base64 stream, decoded as string and then compared against original content. We have to check what are the surrounding conditions for this problem ...

CMDline interface of CodGen lacks of some features

Missing features :

• specification of a target directory (where to generate the tool projects)
• specification of a project dir (instead of target + tool[id] directory)
• example usage

Clean up and update documentation

Since the Wizard comes with a full manual we have to check if everything is up-to-date (in fact this is currently not the case) and fix it. We should concentrate on the Markup based version and remove the Tex variant.

CodeGen has many unnecessary 3rd party dependencies

The CodeGen subproject has many unnecessary 3rd part dependencies that blows up the shaded jar . We have to clean up the pom and add some exclusions.

• aws-java-sdk
• spring-security-core
• spring-web
• ...

Wizard crashes when loading existing XML description

Wizard crashes (OutOfMemory Exception -> ViewExpiredException: viewId:/loadXML.xhtml - View /loadXML.xhtml could not be restored) when loaded an existing and valid xml description file.

Configuration : OSX 10.11.6, Java 1.8.0_112, Glassfish 4.1 (unpatched), Domain is limited to max. 1 GB RAM

Enhance Wizard to support latest tool description schema.
