All of the output files can be raked into the bin directory by running gatherBins.sh.
This is to make running the project on the servers easier. Additionally, the compiled .class files have been removed from the bin/.gitignore, also to make deploying easier.
Ok, whoever wants to run this, these instructions are for you:
For each host (dfsIreland, dfsVirginia, dfsJapan), you need to ssh in, do a git pull to get the latest stuff, and on each host run
orbd -ORBInitialPort 1052 -port 1053 -ORBInitialHost <ip> -ORBServerHost <ip>
and in a second ssh session
cd LSA4/bin
java FileSystemApp.FileSystemServer -ORBInitialPort 1052 -port 1053 -ORBInitialHost <ip> -ORBServerHost <ip>
and then in a third ssh session
cd LSA4/bin
java java FileSystemApp.FileSystemClient -ORBInitialPort 1052 -ORBInitialHost <ip>
where is the ip of that host (obviously). You'll need to get the ip's somehow, I usually just ssh into clipper and do ping <host> once for each of them, since it's easiest that way. You can try substituting the hostname for the ip, but I haven't had much success with that.
Something that I haven't done yet, but is really important, is on each host we need to remove the ip address of the current machine... oh wait, actually that might not be a problem. I dunno, try it sometime and see but I would 9/10 recommend it.
The last command opens up the client, which I'm a little proud of. I went for a retro kinda feel for the ui, and I think it came out well.
The code meets all the project requirements, as far as I can tell, besides that itsy-bitsy bug. However, there's still some work we can do if we have time:
[ ] The code could use comments, it doesn't have many
[ ] We can shoot for the bonux objective, if we have time between this and web prog.
OK. So. CORBA. CORBA CORBA CORBA.
Basically, we're going to need to add some methods to CORBA, which will then be turned into auto generated code, which is then used by both the client and the server. It turns out that this isn't... too hard.
Basically:
1) Define your interface in FileSystem/FileSystem.idl
2) `cd FileSystem && idlj -fserver -fclient FileSystem.idl`
Done. Now, you need to edit FileSystemServer/FileSystemServer.java to implement the new methods.
Note: You might have to reload some of the files in the FileSystem project to get eclipse to realize that they've changed
