Deploying the sample C-App

You can deploy artifacts (i.e. event streams, event receivers, Spark scripts, event publishers, and dashboards etc.) as composite Carbon Applications (C-Apps) in WSO2 DAS. This guide uses the SMART_HOME.car file as the toolbox which contains all the artifacts required for this guide in a single package. For more information on C-Apps, see Packaging Artifacts as a C-App Archive. Follow the steps below to deploy and use a sample C-App in WSO2 DAS.

  1. Log in to the DAS management console using the following URL: https://<DAS_HOST>:<DAS_PORT>/carbon/
  2. Click Main, and then click Add in the Carbon Applications menu.
  3. Click  Choose File, and upload the <DAS_HOME>/capps/Smart_Home.car file as shown below.
    adding the new C-App
  4. Click Main , then click Carbon Applications, and then click List view, to see the uploaded Carbon application as shown below.
    list of all available C-Apps

 

Tip

You can use the Event Flow feature of WSO2 DAS to visualize how the components that you created above are connected with each other. Also, you can use it for verification purposes i.e. to validate the flow of the events within the DAS as shown below.

Publishing events 

Once you develop the complete Event Flow, you can test the flow by publishing the events to the DAS. There are several methods of publishing to DAS. In this section, the events are published via a log file.

Navigate to <DAS_HOME>/samples/smart-home/ directory in a new CLI tab, and execute the following command to run the data publisher: ant

Info

This executes a Java client based on the <DAS_HOME>/samples/smart-home/src/main/java/org/wso2/carbon/das/smarthome/sample/SmartHomeAgent.java file. This Java client generates random events and sends them to the event stream that is deployed through the Smart_Home.car file.
