Distribution Overview

This page shows the same overview and information as provided on the attached CD or in the downloaded archive. It is supposed to give you a first impression of the distribution's contents.

Directories

  • apache-activemq
    A distribution of the message broker Apache ActiveMQ is contained in this folder. In the default configuration it is used as a communication interface between clients and the jadice server.
  • bin
    This folder contains the files to start the jadice server. This may happen either on the console (e.g. for the development) or as a background service (in running operations).
  • client-lib
    The jar-files contained in this folder must be provided in the class path of clients - which run under JRE 1.5 or higher - so that they may communicate with jadice server.
  • client-lib/apache-activemq
    The jar-files contained in this folder must be provided in the class path of clients when using the default JMS provider Apache ActiveMQ to communicate with jadice server.
  • documentation
    Contains the documentation you are currently reading.
  • example/hotfolder
    Contains a simple application that performs a "hot folder" conversion.
    Any file that is dropped into the folder C:\temp\hotfolder\input\ is transfered to jadice server, converted there to PDF. The result will be transfered back to the client and stored in the folder C:\temp\hotfolder\output\. The default settings are stored in the configuration file configuration.properties.
  • example/servlet
    Contains a web application archive (WAR) with a simple HTTP servlet that demonstrates how to integrate jadice server into a middle tier application that performs an on-the-fly conversion.
    In order to run this application, deploy it into a common servlet container and invoke the DownloadServlet in your browser. By default you will see a listing of all files in C:\Temp. On request the file will be analyzed and offered for download. If this is not a PDF, Tiff or plain text, it will be transfered to jadice server and converted to PDF at first.
    A couple of settings can be configured in the file WEB-INF/classes/DownloadServlet.properties inside the war file.
  • example/viewer
    Contains a modified jadice viewer with some command examples showing a possible interaction of both products. See Getting Started Manual
    Attention: license for jadice viewer is not included; please contact levigo solutions to get one!
  • javadoc/client-lib
    This folder contains the client API javadoc documentation for all jadice ® server modules that are supposed to be integrated in client applications. The jadice ® server API is powerful and open for flexible integration. As a reference for developers the javadoc documentation of the public jadice ® server distribution API will help you to develop custom applications that use functionalities of jadice ® server. For more information take a glance at the jadice ® server API documentation in javadoc format .
  • javadoc/server-lib
    This folder contains the javadoc documentation for the jadice server ® server side API. This API can be used to extend jadice ® server with own functionality.
  • log
    With a default configuration log-files recorded during jadice server's operation end up in this folder.
  • msoffice-lib
    Contains libraries which jadice server uses to activate Microsoft Office.
  • libreoffice-lib
    Contains libraries which jadice server uses to activate LibreOffice.
  • server-config
    This folder contains all configuration files of jadice server. In the standard distribution they are preconfigured on sensible values so that jadice server may start on a computer which meets the system requirements.
    Changes may be done according to the explanations in the developer's guide.
  • server-lib
    Contains all libraries which are required on server-side. Changes herein are performed explicitly on your own risk.
  • wrapper
    Contains configuration files which are important for the operating-system-dependent wrapper by which jadice server is started.
