Hosting

The project is located at google project hosting.

It includes a downloads page for the binary downloads (webarchive or embedded server, certificate file) and the nodes application sources in subversion to check out.

The latest download is available here as well:

• Embedded server: nodes-1.0-20131115-2014.jar
• Web archive: war-1.0-20131115-2014.war

Maven build

To build the project using maven, you will need to set some properties in the settings.xml:

• keystore.location. The full path to the keystore used to sign the client jars.
• keystore.user. Your local userid in the keystore.
• keystore.password. The password for the keystore.
• tomcat.home. The home of an external tomcat installation used for testing ( deploy/test module). Not required, you can start the embedded server at deploy/embedded/target/nodes-1.0-jar as well.
• setup.home. An alternative external tomcat installation, used by the profile setup of deploy/test.
• nodes.user. The user used by the bundle plugin to connect to the repository and build the application bundles from the repository content, e.g. admin.
• nodes.password. The password of the latter user, e.g. nodes.
• manifest.permissions. The value of the Permissions manifest entry of the signed client jars, e.g. all-permissions.
• manifest.applicationLibraryAllowableCodebase. The value of the Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase manifest entry of the signed client jars, e.g. *.
• manifest.callerAllowableCodebase. The value of the Caller-Allowable-Codebase manifest entry of the signed client jars, e.g. *.
• manifest.codebase. The value of the Codebase manifest entry of the signed client jars, e.g. *.
• manifest.applicationName. The value of the Application-Name manifest entry of the signed client jars, e.g. nodes - network of design.

Security

The Java applets of the application are self-signed, that is, with a self created certificate the default Java installation does not know about.

To avoid security warnings when using the applets, you can add the certificate to your Java installation's trusted certificates keystore:

• The certificate used to sign the applets is part of the the default repository content created during the first server startup, the location is /jcr:system/nodes/resources/nodes.cer.
• The Java installation trusted certificates keystore is located at $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts.

The following command should be used to import the certificate. It assumes your current location is at $JAVA_HOME and you are on a UNIX system (use backward slashes for Windows):

bin/keytool -importcert -keystore lib/security/cacerts -alias nodescert -file nodes.cer
