This is a standalone server of a RESTful API for exposing integrated linked data.
This implementation is in Java and entirely Maven-based. There are no external dependency files bundled with the project, but you need to be online for Maven to download them and assemble the API.
To build the API you will need JDK 1.7 and Maven 3. Java 8 is currently under test.
To run the API you will need a JRE 1.7 and a running instance of CouchDB 1.6.x.
From the root source directory, it's just
$ mvn install
Since there are still some unit tests that rely upon the availability of online resources (yes I know... sorry, I'll get rid of them eventually), it may sometimes be convenient to skip tests. To do so, use
$ mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
There is a standalone JAR distribution with an embedded Jetty server. After building the project, go to the output directory
$ cd standalone/target
There you will find a file called ecapi.launcher-[version].jar. You can run this JAR on the desired HTTP port (mandatory, as there is no default port).
$ java -jar ecapi.launcher-[version].jar -c [config_file] -p [port]
config_file is a Java properties file. Supplying this is mandatory. A sample file can be found in the src/main/resources directory of the standalone project.
To use a custom log configuration, set VM parameter -Dlog4j.configuration=file:log4j.properties
To debug in Eclipse:
$ java -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8453,server=y,suspend=n -Dlog4j.configuration=file:log4j.properties -jar ecapi.launcher-[version].jar -c [config_file] -p [port]
