Web of Needs Bot Weatherdata

This Repository contains a bot that creates a Atoms containing a citys weather information.

The Bot Skeleton is a Spring Boot Application.

Running the bot

Prerequisites

• Openjdk 8 - the method described here does not work with the Oracle 8 JDK!
• Maven framework set up

Before starting:

Create a free API-Key at Openweatherdata.org

On the command line

cd bot-skeleton
export WON_NODE_URI="https://hackathonnode.matchat.org/won"
mvn clean package
java -jar target/bot.jar

Now go to What's new to find your bot, connect and create an atom to see the bot in action.

In Intellij Idea

1. Create a run configuration for the class won.bot.skeleton.SkeletonBotApp
2. Add the environment variables

• WON_NODE_URI pointing to your node uri (e.g. https://hackathonnode.matchat.org/won without quotes)
• APIKey with the API-Key from Openweatherdata.org as value

to your run configuration.

3. Run your configuration

If you get a message indicating your keysize is restricted on startup (JCE unlimited strength encryption policy is not enabled, WoN applications will not work. Please consult the setup guide.), refer to Enabling Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy to increase the allowed key size.

Optional Parameters for both Run Configurations:

• WON_KEYSTORE_DIR path to folder where bot-keys.jks and owner-trusted-certs.jks are stored (needs write access and folder must exist)

Setting up

• Download or clone this repository
• Add config files

Please refer to the general Bot Readme for more information on Web of Needs Bot applications.
