marmottawrapper

This project creates rake tasks to easily start up Apache Marmotta in Tomcat 7.

To install:

git clone https://github.com/dpla/marmottawrapper
cd marmottawrapper
bundle install

Download and install Marmotta:

rake marmotta:fetch
rake marmotta:install

• To start a Marmotta app in Tomcat 7 on port 8080: rake marmotta:start
• To stop Tomcat: rake marmotta:stop

By default, Marmotta will create all its necessary files in a marmotta subdirectory of your application's root once you start it for the first time, including sensible defaults for configuration. Configuration changes can be made by altering marmotta/system-config.properties (see the Marmotta documentation for more details).

A railtie is included to make the tasks available to Rails applications. To use the railtie add marmottawrapper to your Gemfile and run bundle install.

rake -T should now reveal that the marmotta tasks are available:

rake marmotta:fetch
rake marmotta:install
rake marmotta:start

This project comes with a vagrant file that will configure a working environment for Marmotta. To use it:

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
rake marmotta:start

Marmotta should now be available on your host machine at port 8087.

• Make Tomcat port configurable.
• Wait for Tomcat to start before quitting start task.
• Add support for Windows.
