Corona's server-side environment is provide as an all-in-one platform distribution. Optional server applications are provided as features that can be installed into the server via Update Manager.
The Corona server-side platform requires Java 1.5 and has been verified on the following architectures:
- Win32 (WinXP)
- Linux (Redhat)
- Mac OS (Leopord)
Contents
Step 1: Install the Corona Platform
- Download the Corona Server Platform
- Unzip the Platform to a folder on your machine
- This folder will be referred to as corona_home
- Change directory to the coron_home folder
- (linux/mac only) Change the file attributes for the Corona shell command
- chmod 755 corona.sh
Step 2: Configure Server Environment
- Edit 'config.ini to change any of the following configuration items
- osgi.applications
- secondary server applications to automatically start
- osgi.instance.area.default
- location of the platform's workspace
- org.osgi.service.http.port
- tcp/ip port used by the http service
Step 3: Start the Corona Server-side Platform
- Execute the corona shell script to run the Corona Server-side Platform
- (linux) ./corona.sh run
- (winew) corona run
Installing Additional Server Components
The Corona server-side platform uses OSGi Applications to manage the runtime lifecyle of a Server Components. These components are defined using the org.eclipse.core.runtime.application extension point.
For an example, please see the Corona Database Server Application:
Step 1: Create Server Component Application
- Create a plug-in to provide the Server Component Application
- Ensure that this plug-in does not contribute to the UI
- Create an extension to the org.eclipse.core.runtime.application extension point
Step 2: Create Server Component Feature
- Create a feature to package and distribute your Server Component
Step 3: Deploy Server Component to Corona Server-side Platform
- Install (copy or update manager) the Component Server to Corona's server-side platform
- Modify Corona's configuration
- Edit configuration/config.ini
- Append the name of your application to the osgi.applications property
Step 4: Start Corona
The Corona server-side platform should be running within an OSGi command console. You should be able to interact with Corona's web service via [1]. In addition, any additional component feature applications that were installed should also be running.
