Analysis

Overview

The applet allows reading a book in a browser

• The applet only runs reader application
• The applet may be deployed not only on Sophie Server
• The applet gets as parameters the book path and size

Task requirements

• Choose which modules are sensible for the applet and load only them
• Optional requirements
  • Identify the user OS and download natives only for it
  • Identify which of the modules are needed for the chosen book and load only them
  • Make applet deployment automatic with building
• Write documentation how to deploy applet
• The applet must be without menus

Task result

• Code

Implementation idea

• The applet may have capability for fullscreen (F11 and Esc)
• The user should be able to copy text from Sophie book.
• The user should be able to paste text in the search field of the applet or in comment frame.
• The following functionalities in reader will not be needed in the applet:
  • Menus
  • Drag and drop (but copy will be)
  • All edit operations (excluding copy)
  • Help contents
  • Halos
  • Annotations
• The following tabs are in Reader, but will not be needed in the applet
  • Config

How to demo

• Deploy the applet with a sample book in sophie2.org/applet
• Open the page and show the book in the browser

Design

Open Book on startup

• The applet will open a specified book provided as applet parameter named 'bookRef' that will contain a valid absolute url to the book.
• The launcher (AppletMain) will set it as system property 'sophie2.startupBookLocation'
• The Reader module will check for the system property and if supplied will try to fetch the given url in a temp file created like

  File.createTempFile("startupBook", PersistenceUtil.EXTENSION);
  

and then open it using file.

Deploy applet

• The applet (launcher and modules) will be deployed on a single place at sophie2.org server the complete url now is

  http://sophie2.org/sophie2-reader-applet/
  

• On that location will be the org.sophie2.launcher-2.0.jar which contains the launcher and a folder modules which contains all needed modules.
• To launch the applet in an html page the following snippet is needed

  <applet width="500" height="500" name="sophie2-applet"
          codebase="http://sophie2.org/sophie2-reader-applet/"
          code="org.sophie2.launcher.AppletMain"
          archive="org.sophie2.launcher-2.0.jar">
          <param name="edition" value="reader" />
          <param name="bundlesConfigFile" value="applet.bundles.config" />
          <param name="bookRef"
                  value="absolute_url_to_the_book" />
  </applet>
  

  • edition is the sophie edition to be launched - must be reader
  • bundlesConfigFile is the file which contains modules configuration. applet.bundles.config must be what you need in most cases.
  • bookRef is the absolute ref to the book to be opened.
