This is probably a typical question from a novice, but I must say I am greatly puzzled.
I read all help pages in NaturalONE about deployment, but I may have missed the principal message.
The following story is documented by screenshots in the attachment.
I started out with the HelloWorld sample application.
The project is automatically configured to use the local Natural runtime.
Fine.
I specified my userid and a password in the properties dialog and saved it.
Is there a specific password required here, or is it free?
The hostname and port properties say localhost:2800.
But they are greyed out: are they valid at all, then?
The main program is called HELLO-P in library SAMP4ONE.
The project was successfully built.
It runs ok in NaturalONE → Execute.
I proceeded to create a new wardeploy.xml file.
But I am not sure which session settings I have to specify.
Are they:
I hope the syntax is ok since I do not have much Natural experience.
I then ran the Ant build job and copied the resulting war file to the internal Tomcat’s webapps folder.
Tomcat properly unpacked it and created a HelloWorld web context.
I have my own Tomcat, too, running on port 8081.
I copied the generated war file to this Tomcat’s own webapps directory. It was automatically unpacked, ok.
Loading http://localhost:8081/HelloWorld has a response and sends a menu with options “Start Application (HTML)”,
“Start Application (SWT)” and so on.
Selecting “Start Application (HTML)” the Logon screen comes up.
I type in my userid and password, but only get the Error message:
“Connection to host localhost failed. Connection refused: no further information”.
See screenshots in the attachment.
Please, can somebody tell me, what session settings (host) are expected by the Natural War Ant Deployment wizard?
In particular: Session host name (localhost ?), Host session port (2800 ???), Session application name (HELLO-P ?), Session parameters (STACK=(LOGON SAMP4ONE) ???).
Honestly, I have read the NaturalONE docs from end to end and found no clue to these, at least not for this particular practical case.
I would be particularly interested to know: has anyone done this in practice and does it really work? Using the local Natural runtime?
But…
In NaturalONE Help on page Software AG Designer Guides > NaturalONE Help > Application Development > Using NaturalONE > Working with Natural Projects in Local Mode we have a section named Runtime quite at the bottom, and here we read
In my project the option button is visible on the Natural/Runtime tab in the project properties dialog.
So I conclude the local Natural runtime is installed.
And as it is promised above, a host name (localhost) and a port number (2800) are provided and the corresponding text boxes do appear gray.
When I build a Natural program or subroutine, say, I can see in the Console view that a connection is made to server localhost(2800), a logon to my library is made, the object is stowed, and then a disconnection from server localhost(2800) is done. All as it should be.
So, does this not indicate that the system is ready for use with a (complete) local Natural runtime?
Where, in fact, do we learn that something like a Web I/O Interface needs to be installed on my PC in addition?
I still hope that we get it to work and that only some parameter was wrong.
