A powerful feature of fedora 4 is projection or federation, in which large swaths of data from external sources can be treated and exposed as repository content
To easily test this feature during the install fest, we've built a sample war file that exposes a federation over the home directory of the user account under which the application is running.
Quick View:
- Download an executable jar file for the release
- Launch the jar file by double-clicking on it or typing "java -jar filename" in the command line
Install in Tomcat:
- Install tomcat
- Download a pre-built war file for the file system federation
- Copy that war file into the webapps directory of your tomcat installation
- When tomcat's running you can browse your home directory online at: http://localhost:8080/fcrepo-webapp-home-directory-federation-4.0.0-alpha-3-SNAPSHOT/rest/home
