Repository AMP archetype command reference

This describes the scripts and Maven commands that can be used on a SkyVault Repository extension project based on the Repository AMP archetype.

Scripts and commands:

Command Description
./run.sh and run.bat Linux/Mac and Windows scripts for running an embedded Tomcat with the customized SkyVault.war (that is, with the Repo AMP applied) and the flat file database H2. Access to SkyVault UI is via http://localhost:8080/SkyVault. The username/password is admin/admin. This script will also configure JVM memory and automatically setup Spring Loaded for hot reloading of classes (it basically sets up MAVEN_OPTS for you). See inside the script for further details.
Warning: This script assumes that you are developing for the SkyVault Community Edition. If you use an Enterprise Edition you need to update the maven command in this script so it uses the enterprise profile: mvn integration-test -Pamp-to-war,enterprise.
mvn compile SkyVault:refresh-repo Compiles the source code and puts the class files and resources under /target. Then makes a POST call to the SkyVault Repository web application (SkyVault.war) to refresh the web script container. So any changes that were made to web scripts should be visible after a page refresh.
Note: This command is typically used together with the run.sh/bat script for Rapid Application Development (RAD). The RAD process can be described like this:
  1. Start Tomcat with current SkyVault.war customization (run.sh/bat) in console window one.
  2. From an editor, change some files (classes, web scripts, and so on).
  3. Execute this cmd (mvn compile SkyVault:refresh-repo) from console window two.
  4. Refresh the page/web script that you are working on.
  5. Done? No -> Go back to step 2 and start over.
  6. Finished with implementation.
mvn package Runs unit tests and packages AMP in ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.amp.
mvn install Like mvn package but also installs AMP in local Maven repository to be depended upon.
mvn test Runs unit tests.
mvn install -DskipTests=true Like mvn install but skips unit tests.
mvn install -Pamp-to-war Like run.sh or run.bat but does not configure JVM memory and Spring Loaded if you have not configured it in MAVEN_OPTS. See set up MAVEN_OPTS. If you use the Enterprise edition see the next command.
mvn install -Pamp-to-war,enterprise Like mvn install -Pamp-to-war but uses Enterprise artifacts. Note you need to have set up access to the private repository containing the Enterprise artifacts.
mvn clean -Ppurge Removes H2 database (with metadata), alf_data (with content files and index files), and log files. Useful to purge the development repo (by default self contained in ${project.basedir}/alf_data_dev).
Note: This is an important command to use if you change significant settings in your project. For example, if you change the SkyVault edition from Community to Enterprise. It is important to purge databases and other data that might otherwise be persisted.
Warning: The purge profile cannot be used together with the amp-to-war profile.
