Class ContainerBuilder

java.lang.Object
  AMETAS.sdk.ContainerBuilder

public class ContainerBuilder

extends java.lang.Object

Stand-alone program to create SPUs and SCCs. This class is part of the AMETAS Software Development Kit (SDK). The tool may be utilized in three different modes:

• Interactive mode
• Single-line mode
• Script mode

The first mode is entered when ContainerBuilder is started without arguments. The following commands may be used.

addsig	Cont -privk PrivateKeyFile [-pass Passphrase] [-comp c] [-crypt class]	Add signature to a container
addspu	SPU -plus {SPU}+ [-comp c]	Merge SPUs into one
addtype	SPU [-ver Version] (-file TypeFile> | -str String) [-mode [NON_]SHARED[_SESSION]] [-text VerbalDescription] [-tout Timeout] [-cost Charge] [-comp c]	Add type description to SPU
addver	SPU -ver {version}+ [-comp c]	Add version to SPU container
apropos	subject	Find help to subject
chksig	Container -pubk {PublicKeyFile}+ [-crypt Class]	Check container signatures
contdir	Path	Set the default path for retrieving SPUs or SCCs
crscc	{Class}+ [-force] [-comp c] [-flat] [-dst dir] [-src {dir}+] [-add {file}+]	Create a Signed Class Container
crspu	MainPUClass {class} [-force] [-comp c] [-dst dir] [-src {dir}+] [-add {file}+]	Create a Signed Place User Container
help	[command]	This screen
iddir	Path	Set the default path for ID files
lsscc	SCC	List SCC contents
lsspu	SPU	List SPU contents
quit	(or exit)	Leave ContainerBuilder
rmsig	Cont (-pubk {file}+ | -id {UID}+) [-comp c] [-crypt class]	Remove signatures from the container
rmtypes	SPU [-ver {version}+] [-comp c]	Remove types from this PU (versions)
spupriv	SPU [-ver [-] {Version}+] -start {Privilege}+ -run {Privilege}+ [-comp c]	Define privileges in SPU
verbose	(on|off)	Turn on/off detail messages
xscc	{SCC}+ [-dst TargetDirectory] [-force]	Extract classes from SCC

Meaning: () serves for grouping in the syntax. {A} means "0 or more A", {A}+ means "at least one A", [A] is "0 or one A", (A|B) stands for "A or B".

The single-line mode is entered when starting ContainerBuilder with arguments taken from a line which is used in the interactive mode. That is, the command line in the interactive mode may be put as a list of arguments behind the ContainerBuilder invocation. In that case, only this command is executed, and ContainerBuilder returns.

The script mode is entered by appending the "-scr FileName" arguments to ContainerBuilder. In this mode, the given file name will be loaded, and each line will be treated as if the commands were entered subsequently in the interactive mode. Unlike the single-line mode, the program is only started once and keeps the state.

If a private key file (usually a complete identity ending with "idy") is used somewhere, a passphrase must be delivered. This may be done by using the -pass option. If this option is missing, the passphrase will be queried from the terminal where ContainerBuilder is running. As long as the program is running, each passphrase will be queried only once. This also holds for the script mode.

Note that ContainerBuilder does not need a place installation. All references to containers and identities are resolved by using the file system. If necessary, file name extensions are added automatically.
