Instructions for building the jOAI web application software v@VERSION@ from source.

Quick instructions: 
--------------------------------------------

This software may be built easily using Ant. If you are already using Ant
and Tomcat, building the software is a three step process:
1. Obtain the code directory joai-project
2. Set the ant property 'catalina.home' to point to your Tomcat installation.
3. From the joai-project directory, execute the 'deploy' target.

This will build the software and place it in a directory named 'oai'
inside your Tomcat webapps directory.


Detailed instructions:
--------------------------------------------

The joai-project code may be obtained at:
https://github.com/NCAR/joai-project


To build the jOAI software from source you must have the following:
  
1. joai-project - the jOAI software source code directory
3. Tomcat (available at http://tomcat.apache.org/)
4. Ant (available at http://ant.apache.org/)
5. Java Platform, Standard Edition


Build instructions:

These instructions assume you will be working in a UNIX command-line environment.
The software can also be built on Windows but specific instructions are not 
provided here.

1. Obtain the joai-project code directory (see above)

2. Obtain and install all the required tools - Java, Ant, Tomcat (see above)

3. Place the joai-project directory into a build directory
For example:
 # cd ~/my_build_area
 # ls joai-project
	  
4. cd into the joai-project directory.
  # cd joai-project

5. Create a file named build.properties or joai.properties to your build directory
(alternatively this can be placed in your home directory).

6. Edit the build.properties file and set the poperty catalina.home to
point to your intallation of Tomcat, for example:
catalina.home = /home/username/dev/apache-tomcat-8

See the build.xml file located in joai-project for information on the 
properties settings.

7. Execute the Ant deploy command.
  # ant deploy
You should see a number of messages in your terminal. Once complete
you should see a message like:
    BUILD SUCCESSFUL
    Total time: 36 seconds

8. The software will be built into a directory named oai inside your
Tomcat webapps directory. After (re)starting Tomcat you will be able to
access the software at the URL http://localhost:8080/oai/
(substitute localhost with your domain name if appropriate).
