ServiceXpress Framework :: ChrisXpress Browserless Solution

Hi,

Had a nightmare of a task yesterday to configure SX for faster access over VPN. The only solution was to do it browser less , anyone who knows and / or has used ChrissXpress will agree , that its extremely slow and tightly bound around Java 1.3.1 .

The solution was to download all of the jar files from the framework and copy them over to JAVA_HOME/lib and create a small script to launch it by clicking.

Following is the script i slapped together for achieving this task , it automatically setups the $CLASSPATH & $PROPERTIES FILE which are required for SX to run. The properties file is project specific and needs to be collected from the platform it self.

set CLASSPATH=

for %%i in (*.jar) do call addpath.bat %%i

echo CLASSPATH : %CLASSPATH%

echo CLASSPATH : %CLASSPATH% >> SXClientLog.txt

rem ————————————

rem Call java

rem ————————————

echo Starting…

java -classpath “%CLASSPATH%” -Xmx160m at.siemens.servicexpress.sxfw.capp.appbase.SxJApplet %PROPERTY_FILE% >> SXClientLog.txt 2>&1

Following is the code for addpath.bat

echo Append CLASSPATH with %1 >> SXClientLog.txt

set CLASSPATH=%1;%CLASSPATH%

shift

:args

if “%1″==”" goto noargs

echo Append CLASSPATH with %1 >> SXClientLog.txt

set CLASSPATH=%1;%CLASSPATH%

shift

goto args

:noargs
