PEtALS user experience

Hi petals community

I'm new to PEtALS, and as a dummy I have basic questions about it.

First, when trying a new software, I always wanna check if it's been installed the right way by printing its "version number".

Here is what I get for PEtALS:
$ java -server -jar server.jar version

I was expecting something like "PEtALS standalone 2.2" to be printed on stdout

Is it possible for the PEtaLS development team to provide a simple "version command" that works even if the ESB is not started?


PS: does anyone know if it's possible to upload files on this forum? I'd like to submit new startup scripts and get feedbacks about it

Hi!
1-Normally, you've to use the shell ping.sh, which isn't operational on quickstart 2.2. Youv've to had '!' into two test. The correct ping.sh (adds are on red):

Quote:

#!/bin/sh RepScript=`dirname $0` RepCourant=`pwd` ###################### # ENV VARIABLES ###################### echo "Setting Petals environment" if [ ! -d "$JAVA_HOME" ] then echo "The JAVA_HOME variable is not properly set. Please set it in your environment." exit 1 fi if [ ! -d "$PETALS_HOME" ] then PETALS_HOME="$RepCourant/$RepScript/.." export PETALS_HOME fi if [ ! -f "$PETALS_HOME/conf/server.properties" ] then echo "The PETALS_HOME environment variable is not set correctly. Please set it in your environment with a correct value." exit 2 fi PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH" export PATH java -version echo "" ###################### # ARGUMENTS ###################### cd "$PETALS_HOME/bin" Silence=false while getopts :hv:Sv options do case ${options} in h) echo "The ping.sh script is used to determine if Petals is started." echo "usage : ping [-h] [-S]" echo " -h : prints the help message" echo " -S : active the silent mode" exit 0; ;; S) Silence=true ;; ?) echo "usage : ping [-h] [-S]" exit 2 ;; esac done pingResult=`java -Xmx128m -jar server.jar version` echo $pingResult | grep "Petals JBI Container - version:" >/dev/null 2>/dev/null active=$? cd "$RepCourant" if [ $active -eq 0 ] then if [ $Silence != true ] then echo "Petals RUNNING" fi exit 0 else if [ $Silence != true ] then echo "Petals STOPPED" fi exit 1 fi

2-that's right : to get the version, today we need the PEtALS JMX Server on:

Code:

/*      * (non-Javadoc)      *      * @see org.ow2.petals.launcher.PetalsLauncher#version()      */     public void version() throws Exception {         System.out.println(getPetalsJmxClient().getAdminServiceClient().getSystemInfo());     }

So you can't get the version without starting the JMX

Hi Sebastien

Basic questions are very (very) useful. Most of us forgot how it is to be a newbie => we're blind about all basic and essential matters. (Should say "they", since I'm more than ultra-noob )
So, thanks a lots for the comment

About upload, for the moment, it is not possible directly on the forum.
The best way is to use an external upload server, such as Megaupload, and then add the link on forum.
That's fast, easy, and more secure for the forum
