puckit - create "jar file" for instrument service

puckit serviceClassName propertiesFile jarFile

A device service is started on a port when the host node scans that port. For the port being scanned, the node attempts to locate a service jar file, which contains the service classfile, the service stub classfile, and an ASCII service properties file. The node then instantiates the service from its classfile, exports the service stub classfile, and provides the properties file to the service. The service properties file specifies attributes specific to the service, using key=value syntax. The following properties are required in the properties file:
 

isiID - specifies instrument's ISI-ID

The puckit utility creates the jar file. puckit takes three command line arguments:

serviceClassName - specifies service class, e.g. "moos.kvh.CompassKVHC100"
propertiesFile - the service properties file name
jarFile - the name of the jar file to be created

The user can then copy the created jar file to a puck or to a pre-configuration location on the host.

The following environment variables must be set:

• SIAM_HOME - top of the SIAM directory tree
