Hi Assaf,
We have a similar task (accessing a nuxeo server from a servlet on a
remote machine) that will be done until the end of this week or next week.
I will notify you when this task will be done.
As part of this task I will create a generic servlet that you and others
will be able to use to connect to a remote nuxeo server.
The ideea in implementing such a servlet is to adapt the nuxeo shell
client (see https://svn.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/org.nuxeo.ecm.client)
to be loaded from a servlet.
In practice you need to put something on the disk the nuxeo shell
application (so that the servlet can access it)
The client application folder contains required nuxeo bundles (jars) as
for example various nuxeo API, nuxeo runtime and other utilisties
and also third party libraru needed by nuxeo.
The servlet will load the nuxeo runtime using the RuntimeLoader class
and then it will connect to nuxeo server using NuxeoClient class.
This class is able to download required configuration (service bindings,
streaming server location etc) from the remote server
and will auto configure the local runtime.
This way you don't need anymore writing xml configuration files
Regarding the project nuxeo-api-sample it is outdated and need to be
refactored to use the NuxeoClient class to avoid writing xml
configuration files.

Bogdan

Hello Bogdan,
I've been following Nuxeo for many months now (since before 5.0.0.RC
release) and the ecm mailing list.
I've read through all the documents on the website and what's
available in the not-yet-finished 'nuxeo-book'.
I've successfully built the sample empty project and I agree that it
should be easy and efficient to build extensions for the Nuxeo
platform this way.
I find great interest in Nuxeo and I believe in its potential (both
product and company).
But I've been trying over and over fruitlessly to use the remote API
from another WAR deployed on the same or another J2EE server (Tomcat
as an example). The nuxeo-book is empty on this point and the JIRA and
mailing list have only puzzling discussions, mostly ending the same
way - with a reference to the 'nuxeo-api-sample'.
I've noticed that so far you've been the most knowledgeable and
helpful person on these issues.
Being a real novice with J2EE deployment issues myself and seeing that
there are enough other users with similar issues
(this guy for instance is trying something similar on Tomcat:
http://jira.nuxeo.org/browse/NXP-1503), I've decided it's time to ask
for advice:
Currently, I get a .jar by building 'nuxeo-api-sample' but I'd like to
know how to make a deployable WAR out of that sample.
Would it be possible to document the suggested process of creating
such a standalone WAR with all the needed .jars and xml
descriptors, from the ground up in order to have access to nuxeo
remote API from another web app (lets say: a minimal JSP EL script on
Tomcat, for simplicity).
So far I get countless exceptions and I'm pretty much stuck.
Regards,
Assaf
