Pineapple core component – How-to: Invoke the core component from a client

How-to: Invoke the core component from a client

A core component instance have been create using the com.alpha.pineapple.CoreFactory:

  // create core component
  CoreFactory coreFactory = new CoreFactory();
  PineappleCore core = coreFactory.createCore();

This instance of the core component is created with default settings and will:

load resources from ${user.home}/.pineapple/conf/resources.xml.
load credentials from ${user.home}/.pineapple/conf/credentials.xml.

To execute an operation, invoke the method executeOperation(..):

    
  // get user.home
  String userHome = System.getProperty( "user.home" );
        
  // define default pineapple runtime directory
  File runtimeDirectory = new File( userHome, ".pineapple" ); 
         
  // define modules directory
  File modulesDirectory = new File( runtimeDirectory, "modules" ); 
        
  // setup parameters
  String operation = "run-tests";
  String environment =  "production-2-a"; 
  String module = "jee-platform-infrastructure-tests" ; 
    
  // execute operation
  
  ExecutionInfo info;
  info = core.executeOperation( operation, environment, module );

This instance of the core component will:

Execute the operation named "run-tests"
on the module located at ${user.home}/.pineapple/modules/jee-platform-infrastructure-tests
for at model defined for the environment named "production-2-a".
The method is asynchronous and will return a ExecutionInfo object. To inspect whether operation is finished, invoke the getResult() method and test whether the execution state differs from EXECUTING.
