Marcel Offermans commented on ACE-592:
--------------------------------------
Your first few questions I don't quite understand what you are asking for (I'm
not a native speaker, so that could well be my fault). I am guessing you are
interested to learn what exactly the rules are for naming features and
distributions? They should be given unique names. Can you try explaining your
question again?
To answer your question about the deployment not working, what set of bundles
did you try to deploy? Are you sure those bundles all resolve (and start)? One
thing to diagnose this issue is to add the "-v" option to the ace-launcher,
which will make it a lot more verbose. Usually then you will be able to figure
out what is going wrong. If not, paste the output here so we can have a look.
If possible, then also share the bundles you were trying to deploy.
Your other questions:
(1) Again, not sure what you are asking here. In the ACE UI you can click on a
target to see what distributions, features and artifacts it is linked to (or on
any other entity). You cannot start/stop/uninstall a bundle on the target, but
you can remove a bundle from a feature and store that new configuration to
uninstall it from all targets that had that feature installed.
(2) The ace-launcher basically is an instance of Apache Felix with a management
agent. So it already is integrated. What are you looking for? Using the
management agent with a specific version of Felix, or?

> I'm trying to use Apache ACE web UI to remotely manage OSGi bundles on
> many server devices.
>
>
> I followed the documentations but I can't find out how to actually add
> a target to the server.
>
> My steps are as follows ：
>
> 1. Start the ACE server
> C:\ace\server-allinone
>
> java -Dorg.osgi.service.http.port=8080
> -Dorg.apache.ace.server=localhost:8080 -Dorg.apache.ace.obr=localhost:8080
> -jar server-allinone.jar
> 2. Start an ACE target
> C:\ace\target\bin
> java -Dagent.identification.agentid=target2
> -Dagent.discovery.serverurls=http://localhost:8080 -jar ace-launcher.jar
>
>
> 3.Provisioning software
>
> （1）Go to the ACE web-based UI, and click Retrieve in order to be
> sure that you have the latest version of the repository.
> If your target is up and running, it should be displayed in the
> "Targets" column with a name of target-1;
>
> (2) Add the artifacts you want to deploy. This can be done in two
> ways: either by dragging-and-dropping them
> directly onto the "Actifacts" column (a blue border or line should
> appear for the artifacts to be accepted).
> Alternatively, you can use the + button above the "Artifacts"
> column and using the "Upload" button
> in the dialog presented for each artifact you want to add;
>
> (3) Create a new feature by clicking on the + button above the
> Features column, give it a name and acknowledge the dialog;
>
> MY QUESTION: What is the rule of data fill ？
>
> （4） Create a distribution by clicking on the + button above the
> "Distributions" column, again give it a name
> and acknowledge the dialog;
>
> MY QUESTION: What is the rule of data fill ？
>
> （5） Next, you can create associations between your artifacts,
> features, distributions and targets:
> a. select one or more artifacts and drag them onto the feature
> you created.
> This will associate these artifacts to your feature;
> b. select your feature and drag it onto your distribution,
> creating an association between your feature
> and distribution;
> c. select your distribution and drag it onto your target to
> associate your distribution to your target.
> Verify your associations are correct by clicking your artifacts, features and
> distributions.
> Doing this should highlight the associations.
>
> （6） To persist the changes, you can use the Store button at the
> top of the screen;
> After a couple of seconds, the software is deployed onto the target.
> If you used the Felix demonstration application, you should be presented with
> a nice Swing UI.
> MY QUESTION: It doesn't work! Console does not prompt information ！
> My other question is:
> （1） how to view a TARGET has been installed in the BUNDLE ？
> how to start/stop/uninstall a BUNDLE ?
>
> (2) how to integration with Apache Felix using Apache ACE Agent?
>
> Thank you very much for your reply.
