• Configuration files downloaded
• Tomcat installed (optional)

Downloads

War files

Required

• One click run of Fedora 4: fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war

• 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

Triplestore

• Download and install "Jena Fuseki" prior to the training
  • http://jena.apache.org/download/index.cgi

Federation aka Projection

• 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
