Cisco Cisco Application Extension Platform for SRE

Provided your application (MyTime) is packaged with a dependency on the CLI plug-in package, then 
showtime.jar is the only one to be packaged. This is because the file liblocal_socket.so and other jar files 
are in the guest OS (virtual instance).

[bash]# java -Djava.library.path=lib/ -cp 

lib/cli_distribution_vm.jar:lib/localsocket.jar:lib/showtime.jar MyAppMgr

Output:

Starting VM Thread

Going into wait mode

CLI_PLUGIN:CLIDistributionVM.receiveIPCMessages: server socket opened successfully

Create a directory to hold prepackaged files to be packaged and installed onto Cisco AXP:

mkdir /source/showtimeapp/build

The following example of prepackaging a CLI plug-in application follows the steps in the 

.

Copy the action file MyTime.class into directory actions/. 

Copy CLI plug-in definition file MyTime.xml into directory definitions/. 

Edit the configuration file cli_plugin.config.

file=MyTime.xml 

javapath=/usr/bin/java/bin 

vm=showtime

proj_src=/source/showtimeapp/build

You have the option of whether to change the proj_src argument or not. See proj_src in 

.

Run the CLI plug-in SDK packaging tool to package the definitions and actions.

python cli-plugin.py

For further information, see step 4 of the 

Next, move the tar file to the source directory, see the 

.

Prepackaging is complete.
