• One click run of external message consumer: fcrepo-message-consumer-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war

Optional

• fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-auth.war (optional, only needed if deploying to Tomcat with authorization)
• fcrepo-message-consumer-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03.war (optional, only needed if deploying to Tomcat)
• fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03.war (optional, only needed if deploying to Tomcat)

Configuration files

• repository.json
• repository-federation.json
• fedora-node-types-training.cnd
• fedora-node-types-indexing.cnd

Triplestore

• Download and unpack Jena Fuseki (ZIP or TAR) prior to the training

Deploying Fedora4

In OSX or Windows you can simply double-click the fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-auth.war file to launch the Fedora 4 console. Then click Start and wait for the application to load in your browser.

You can also run the application from the command line using the following command:

java -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war --headless

Note: The location where Fedora writes to disk can be specified with the following flag:

java -Dfcrepo.home=/path/fedora/data -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war --headless

Configuring Fedora4

how to configure triplestore

how to configure solr

how to configure AuthZ

• Role-based
• XACML

(docs)

• Modify repository-federation.json for local system ("externalSources:federated-directory:directoryPath")

java -Dfcrepo.modeshape.configuration=file:/path/to/repository-federation.json -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war --headless

Content Modeling

• Modify repository-federation.json to point to fedora-node-types-training.cnd

"node-types" : ["/path/to/fedora-node-types-training.cnd"]

• Run:

java -Dfcrepo.modeshape.configuration=file:/path/to/repository-federation.json -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war --headless

• Examine default property created on new objects
• Examine effect of applied type

External Triplestore

1. Setup Fuseki (docs)

   1. Start Fuseki

      Code Block
      ./fuseki-server --update --mem /test

   2. Verify running at – http://localhost:3030

2. Modify repository-federation.json to point to fedora-node-types-indexing.cnd

   Code Block
   "node-types" : ["/path/to/fedora-node-types-indexing.cnd"]

3. Start Fedora

   Code Block
   java -Dfcrepo.modeshape.configuration=file:/path/to/repository-federation.json -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war --headless

4. Start fcrepo-message-consumer

   Code Block
   java -jar fcrepo-message-consumer-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war --headless --port 9090

5. Create/Update some objects and perform some queries (examples)
