Hi Zoe,
glad to see you + aries people here on ace. ;)
I have an ulterior motive :-) I'm talking at ApacheCon - its a beginners
OSGi talk on interesting OSGi projects and what they are good for. So
I'm testing the 'getting started' instructions for a whole bunch of
projects. I'd like to say a couple of things about ACE - but I feel I
need to be able to do a very simple command line based deployment at the
minimum.
The log message "Highest remote: null / Highest local: null" was also
a little confusing to me, but it just says, that there is nothing to
be deployed on the managementagent (old speak: gateway) yet.
That's useful thanks. There are so many of those messages that I never
actually get the console prompt. Is there a way to turn them off?
About: "The WebUI is there but looks a little odd"
Its a rush GWT port of a commercial UI that has not been open sourced
by luminis. Currently, Marcel is doing a Vaadlin Version instead -
heard its much more straightforward to develop such a ui than raw GWT.
So, better we'll wait for him here. But i agree the current webUI is
not the best thing since sliced bread.
But it works, i believe there was a screencast on how to use it by
Angelo ? Not sure.
I didn't find one - I agree it would be really helpful. Although - I'd
be more than happy to see something working from a command line :-/
If not we should make one. Otherwise its quite hard
to get started.
As a quick hint: you need to add bundles the repository by copying
them to the upload folder (not sure, its called repository i guess in
the server folder). They should appear on the left column in the ui.
Also, when running one or more gateways, they should appear in the UI, too.
Now you can bring the "two" together by wiring them: create a group,
drag the artifact (left) on the group, and so on. So its drag an drop
based. Coloring indicate "wired" pieces.
I'll have more of a play this afternoon....will let you know where I get to.
Bottomline:
Your builds are fine, just the UI needs assistance and/or a replacement.
Right - they *look* fine as far as I can tell - but I do get an error
from the server build:
"ERROR: The data file path must be relative, not absolute."
That may be OK but having something called 'ERROR' is always a bit
disconcerting for a new user :-) Is it something I have done wrong?

Hi Devs,
As I understand the two main tutorials available on the website
(Getting started with file based server, Getting started with Web UI
server) deal with the legacy module in the Ace trunk. So I guess I
have to build the legacy module using Ant to follow these articles. Am
I correct? Are there any similar documents for the Maven based build?
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem. I followed the build instructions for the
maven build, got the server running and the gateway (albeit with a
distracting info message every second(?) "Highest remote: null / Highest
local: null") - did not get any further than this so far. The WebUI is there
but looks a little odd - I'd like to get the command line instructions
working, any pointers would be much appreciated.
