yuma4j
yuma4j will be a collection of Java utilities complementing the yuma.js media annotation system, including a basic annotation storage server.
Getting Started with the Demo Annotation Server
yuma4j includes a bare-bones annotation storage server you can use to make annotations on your site permanent. The demo server also provides a basic search GUI and a 'public timeline' which shows the 20 most recent annotations in the system.
To point [yuma.min.js] (http://github.com/rsimon/yuma.min.js) to an annotation server, you need to
set the serverURL init parameter. The code sample below shows how this is done in case of image
annotation.
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
var annotationLayer;
window.onYUMAready = function() {
annotationLayer = new YUMA.ImageAnnotationLayer('annotateMe', { serverURL:"http://my.server.org/myserver" });
}
</script>
</head>
Note that we have also set up a publicly accessible demo server instance at
http://dme.ait.ac.at/yuma4j-server
Feel free to point your page to this server for testing purposes. Keep in mind though that we do not make any guarantees on this server in terms of
- server uptime
- availability of your annotations - we may occasionally clear the database as we are developing yuma4j further
Furthermore, be aware that the server is open to everyone. This means anybody can search through your annotations and see them in the public timeline. Private annotations and non-anonymous posting are not (yet) supported by the demo server!
Developer Info
yuma4j requires [Java 1.6] (http://www.java.com/de/download/index.jsp) and is built with [Gradle] (http://www.gradle.org/).
For those using Eclipse:
gradle eclipse
will generate Eclipse project files.
gradle jettyRun
will launch a local demo annotation storage server. The demo server runs with an embedded in-memory database. There is no need to set up any additional components on your system. After launch, it will be available at
http://localhost:8081/yuma4j-server
yuma4j uses the [Hibernate] (http://www.hibernate.org/) database persistence framework.
You can switch out the demo server's in-memory database with a
[database of your choice] (http://community.jboss.org/wiki/SupportedDatabases2) by
editing the persistence.xml file located in the [src/main/resources/META-INF/]
(https://github.com/rsimon/yuma4j/tree/master/src/main/resources/META-INF) folder.
To deploy the demo server in you own environment, you will need a Java Servlet container that implements the Servlet 2.4 specification, for example Tomcat 5.5 (or higher) or Jetty 6 (or higher). Use
gradle war
To build the deployable Web archive (.war) file.
