[Myrpg-development] Atlas server model

[<won...@ya...>]

Hi everybody,
We are currently building a model of the Atlas server,
that means, something relativly near what the Atlas
server should be.

Remember (written in a previous mail) what the Atlas
server model should be able to:

ATLAS SERVER STARTUP AND USER REGISTRATION:
 
-1- JBoss deploys the Enterprise ARchive
(myrpg-atlas.ear):
-1.1- Catalina (Tomcat 4.0.3) deploys the Web
 Application Archive on http://:80/myrpg-atlas
-2- On the first connection to the URL :
 http://:80/myrpg-atlas/index.jsp (JSP because we
 print on the homepage the date and time of server,
 eventually the number of currently connected
users...):
-2.1- If there is no administrator then the
 administrator registration page is displayed and the
 process begins.
-2.2- If the Atlas server is not configured (SMTP
 host…) then the server configuration  process starts.
-2.3- If  there is no RPG Master then the RPG Master
 registration page is displayed and the process
begins.
-2.4- Installation of the world (archive .world) in
 the Root directory of the Atlas server.
-2.5- The RPG Master starts the Atlas server by using
 the Web Application (after loging in) à
 initialization, the world is online, start of the
A.I.
 engine..., users have now access to the world.
-3- A new user conects to the Web Application,
 registers and download an archive which contains
 HiCare (the client, the game window). He runs HiCare
 and then connects to the Atlas server by using his
 login and password.
-4- He chooses or creates a character and plays to the
 game. 

Currently, step 2.1 is finalized and we have to build
the server configuration process.

Explanations of step 2.2:
Once one administrator exists for the Atlas server,
one has to configure the server with different
properties:
- the world name ot the atlas server (RPG MASTER)
- the SMTP HOST (ADMINISTRATOR)
- the URL (ADMINISTRATOR)
- other properties...

The first property would be administred by a RPG
MASTER, others by the administrator. The first time
the Atlas server is configured, only ADMINISTRATOR's
properties have to be administred!

The process can (must) reuse the code of the first
administrator creation process.

The configuration bean should be implemented, so the
main work for this step should be in the JSP pages :)

Wang and me will work on it...
One can also begin to think about the others steps...

Good Luck,
Loic Lefevre
