3.REQUIRED LIBRARIES

In order to run a Fiji project with Tomcat 5.5 you need to add have the following libraries in the "WEB-INF/lib" folder of your project. 


	flamingo-service-jsf-1.6.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
	amf-serializer-1.6.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
	common-annotations.jar
	commons-beanutils.jar
	commons-collections.jar
	commons-digester.jar
	commons-logging.jar
	el-api-1.0.jar
	el-impl-1.0.jar
	fiji-api-1.0.0.jar
	fiji-ui-1.0.0.jar
	jsf-api-1.2_09.jar
	jsf-facelets-1.1.14.jar
	jsf-impl-1.2_09.jar
	jstl-1.2.jar
	laguna.jar
	richfaces-api-3.2.2.CR3.jar
	richfaces-impl-3.2.2.CR3.jar
	richfaces-ui-3.2.2.CR3.jar
	standard.jar


Note: The library set listed above is required if you use Apache Tomcat 5.5.
If you have Apache Tomcat 6.0 ang higher you need not to use el-api-1.0.jar and el-impl-1.0.jar library.
If you use a JavaEE5 server, such as Sun Java System Application Server 9 or JBoss 4.2, not to use both el-api-1.0.jar and el-impl-1.0.jar libraries.




4. KICK START PROJECT WITH EXADEL FIJI

This is a brief tutorial on how to run an application with Exadel Fiji.

You have to make a few step to run and deploy the "helloWorld" project.

1. Run fijiInstall.bat(or fijiInstall in Linux) script to put all artefacts from lib folder into the maven repository

2. Find a "helloWorld" in the archive with the "readme.txt" file. It contains a ready skeleton of maven project to make your own Fiji project. 

3. Make 'mvn clean package' on helloWorld project with pom.xml

Note, that if you have Apache Tomcat 6.0 or JBoss/JavaEE5 Server installed. 
You can use command 'mvn clean package -Ptomcat5.5' for Tomcat 5.5 to  use "el-api-1.0.jar" and "el-impl-1.0.jar" libraries since they are not installed. 

4. Run  'mvn eclipse:eclipse' command on the pom.xml of the helloWorld project in case you need to import as a project into the Eclipse IDE.



Now, you can get down to using the Fiji components. 


The "helloWorld" project contains a  blank "fiji.xhtml" file that will suit you perfectly to use as a template. First, add this code to the file.


	<fiji:barChart id="barChartOne" value="#{oneSeriesBar.data}"
		title="One-series Bar Chart" width="500" height="300">
		<fiji:chartData type="name" value="Series 15" />
	</fiji:barChart>

As you can see the "value" attribute of  <fiji:barChart> has binding to a Java bean (OneSeriesBar ) which passes the data to the component, therefore you have to find the OneSeriesBar.java
file and add the following code into it. 


package fiji;
public class OneSeriesBar {

	private Integer[] data = new Integer[3];

	public Integer[] getData() {
		data[0] = 5;
		data[1] = 2;
		data[2] = -3;
		System.out.println ( data );
		return data;
	}
}

Now you can run your application on the server. The page with the component can be addressed with this URL - http://localhost:8080/helloWorld/fiji.jsf
Anyway, if you fail to create the kickstart project using these instruction you can import the helloWorld.war to get a basic idea about the usage of Fiji component  helloWorld.war can be found in the "helloWorld"
folder.
