Building the baseline application

The source code for the client and the server are located in the "src" section of the team's webpage. The AFS cell of the team is /afs/ece.cmu.edu/class/ece841/public_html/team4/. Please follow the following steps to build our applications.

Building Environment: J2SE SDK 1.4.1 (Please make sure that idlj and javac are in your path.)

1. Go to the team's repository directory, /afs/ece.cmu.edu/class/ece841/public_html/team4/.
2. Set the environment variable for CLASSPATH.
   set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;jbcl.jar
3. Go to the directory for the server source code.
   cd src/uc_server
4. Compile IDL file. A CampusInfo subdirectory should be automatically created under uc_server.
   idlj -fall unicommerce.idl 
5. Compile the server code.
   javac *.java CampusInfo\*.java -d ../../classes
6. Go to the directory for the client source code.
   cd ../uc_client
7. Compile IDL file. A CampusInfo subdirectory should be automatically created under uc_client.
   idlj -fall unicommerce.idl 
8. Compile the client code.
   javac *.java CampusInfo\*.java -d ../../classes

Running the baseline application

The classes for the client and the server are located in the "classes" section of the team's webpage. The AFS cell of the team is /afs/ece.cmu.edu/class/ece841/public_html/team4/. Please follow the following steps to run our applications.

Running Environment: J2SE SDK 1.4.1 (Please make sure that orbd and java are in your path.)

1. Set the environment variable for CLASSPATH.
   set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;jbcl.jar
2. Launch orbd
   orbd -ORBInitialHost localhost -ORBInitialPort 1500
3. Go to the directory for the classes.
4. Run the unicommerce server
   java Server.UniServer -ORBInitialHost <server host name> -ORBInitialPort 1500
5. When the GUI pops up, you may configure which SQL Server you're using. For example, msepc13.sp.cs.cmu.edu.
6. Run the unicommerce client
   java Client.UniClient -ORBInitialHost <server host name> -ORBInitialPort 1500
7. When the GUI pops up,  you may use the GUI to interact with the system. Please follow the test case document to walk through the system.
