VMware vSphere ESX Agent Manager SDK Readme

  Readme for the vSphere Management SDK

This is the ESX Agent Manager SDK. The SDK contains documentation on the ESX Agent Manager API, WSDL file definitions, and a sample solution including source files and a Web application that can be deployed in a tc server.

Resources

• Documentation
• WSDL
• Source code, WAR template and ANT build.xml file
• WAR file: eam-sample.war

How to build the sample solution

If you just want to run the sample solution without making changes to it, you don't need to build it since the WAR file is pre-built and shipped with sample solution.

To build the sample solution, go to the SDK root folder and invoke "ant" (you need ant in your path to do this). This will build the sample solution WAR file.

How to run the sample solution

To run the sample solution you need to download a tc server (http://www.springsource.com/products/tcserver).

After you have downloaded and setup the server you put the eam-sample.war file into the webapps folder and start the tc server's installation root folder. This will extract the contents of the eam-sample.war file into a folder called eam-sample.

The next steps is to configure the sample solution. To do this, stop the tc server and edit the file <tc-server-folder>/webapps/eam-sample/WEB-INF/eamri.properties with the values from your setup. After you are done editing you can start the tc server again.

Alternatively, instead of copying in the eam-sample.war file into the webapps directory you can unzip the war file into a tmp directory, reconfigure the properties file and then copy the tmp directory to <tc-server-folder>/webapps/eam-sample/ and then start the tc server.
