The WebACS is a platform-independent re-implementation of the AsTeRICS Configuration Suite using HTML5 and Javascript. For more information on AsTeRICS, please refer to AsTeRICS on Github or the AsTeRICS website http://www.asterics.eu.
To clone the repo ensure to also clone its submodules by
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/asterics/WebACS.git
As the WebACS is based an Javascript totally, index.html
can be opened as local file in Firefox (35.0.1 or higher).
It is recommended that the WebACS is hosted on a webserver and started via an http-URL, e.g.
http://localhost:8081/webapps/WebACS/index.html
In this case also Chrome and other browsers are supported.
When starting the WebACS certain parameters can be specified in the query string of the URL:
openFile
: string containing the relative path to the model (must be the same webserver as the one which provides the WebACS) file that shall be opened directly on startupautoConnect
: boolean – if true: automatically connects to the ARE upon startup: default is falseautoDownloadModel
: boolean – if true: automatically downloads the current model from the ARE; will only work if autoConnect is true and no openFile is specified; default is falseareBaseURI
: string that specifies the URI for the ARE; if not specified, but the WebACS is hosted by an ARE-webservice, the hosting ARE will be used, else localhost will be assumedhelpUrlPath
: Sets the URL to the online help which shall be used if no ARE connection is active. Example:helpUrlPath=http://localhost:8081/help/
-
Automatically connect to the specified ARE and download the model from there:
http://localhost:8081/webapps/WebACS/?autoConnect=true&autoDownloadModel=true&areBaseURI=http://localhost:8081 -
Automatically open a specified model file and automatically connect to the hosting ARE:
http://localhost:8081/webapps/WebACS/?autoConnect=true&openFile=testmodels/test1.acs
