Starting with jPOS

Question

I have downloaded jPOS-master.zip from this link. (https://github.com/jpos/jPOS ).

Ran the command gradle clean dist installApp

Found jPOS-master\jpos\build\install\jpos\jpos-1.9.5-SNAPSHOT.jar

Ran the command java -jar jpos-1.9.5-SNAPSHOT.jar

Got the below console:

When I do a telnet to localhost i get below exception .. which means that Q2 Server is not up.

Connecting To 127.0.0.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port 10000: Connect failed

When I do a gradle test I get the below exception

org.jpos.iso.packagers.PackagerTestCase > testXMLPackager FAILED
    junit.framework.AssertionFailedError at PackagerTestCase.java:214

org.jpos.util.DailyLogListenerTest > testLogRotationAndCompressionWorks FAILED
    java.lang.AssertionError at DailyLogListenerTest.java:303
> Building > :jpos:test > 3145 tests completed, 2 failed, 54 skipped

Can somebody please help as how to bring up the Q2 Server ? I have read proguide-draft.pdf, but could not understand what is the issue. I want to get a server up and running and hit it with some sample requests and get the responses back.

Do I need put some more xmls in deploy directory for Server deployment ? Also after running gradle installApp I could not find any q2.bat in the install directory, I Could find only ..

 bsh q2 start stop files.

Thanks in advance, Varun Kumar A.

Answer 1

Your serve is not deployed properly, you need to add serversimulator.bsh and serversimulator.xml to corresponding folders and then try again.

You can use "jpos-template" for server and client simulation. Detail how to is here in these beautiful blog posts. As per the ducumentation, [Implementing a jpos dateway] page no 8

We connect here to jPOS' auto-responder, which is usually up and listening on port 9000. You could use a local server, for example based on jPOS-EE's server simulator.

You can use server simulator as a auto responder (remote host as per diagram) to prepare a demo environment of jpos.

Sever Simulator

Client Simulator

Answer 3

Have you add jposee-server-simulator dependency to your project? after add the dependency, you need to execute bellow gradle command:

installResources

to retrieve the serversimulator.bsh and 05_serversimulator.xml from jposee-server-simulator module.

This tutorials describe how to use jpos-template to setup jpos-ee project and run / debug the project on eclipse IDE. https://nacadev.com/introduction-to-jpos-ee/
