Demo Application

A simple demonstration application is provided with Jarvis. This application uses an SQLite database. When installing the Debian packages, this demonstration is automatically configured and enabled and available under the address:

http://localhost/jarvis-demo/

The following instructions are required only when not using the Debian package of Jarvis.

Complete Basic Jarvis Configuration

First, ensure that Jarvis itself is available via the /jarvis-agent/ URL. Access the following URL:

http://localhost/jarvis-agent/

Verify that you receive the response:

Missing app name. Send /jarvis-agent/<app>[/<dataset>[/<arg1>...]] in URI!

The Demo Database file

Take a copy of the database to a directory writable by the Apache user. For example:

mkdir -p /var/lib/jarvis/demo/
cp /opt/jarvis/demo/db/demo-empty .db /var/lib/jarvis/demo/demo.db
chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/jarvis/demo/demo.db

If this is not done correctly, you will see the error Attempt to write to a read-only database when saving changes via the demo screen.

Configure Demo Web-Service

Install the demo.xml Jarvis application configuration file:

cp /opt/jarvis/demo/etc/demo.xml /opt/jarvis/etc/demo.xml

In Apache configuration uncomment the alias to the Jarvis demo htdocs:

Alias /jarvis-demo/ "/opt/jarvis/demo/htdocs/"

and the /jarvis/ support files:

Alias /jarvis/ "/opt/jarvis/htdocs/"

Change the default values configured in demo.xml to match your installation:
