Project Build Files

Journey SDK provides an Ant-based project build system to support application development, CI/CD processes and Maestro SCM integration. This build system is designed to work well in both developer IDEs and on CI servers.

Project Layout

Standard Project Layout

Journey platform development is performed in projects which have the following standard project layout structure and Ant build files.

project

imports — Directory. Contains shared library source code.
src — Directory. Contains the application source code.
target — Directory. Contains the output build artifacts.
build.xml — File. Provides the Ant development targets (tasks).
build.properties — File. Provides project specific Ant configuration properties.
transact-auth.properties — File. Provides the Journey Manager server authentication credentials and URLs.
proxy.properties — File. Provides optional proxy server connection properties.

Maven Project Layout

Journey platform development is performed in projects which have the following basic Maven layout structure and Ant build files.

project

src
- imports
  - groovy — Directory. Contains shared library source code and resources.
- main
  - groovy — Directory. Contains the application source code.
  - resources — Directory. Contains the application resources.
- test
  - groovy — Directory. Contains the test source code.
  - resources — Directory. Contains the test resources.
- target — Directory. Contains the output build artifacts.
- build.xml — File. Provides the Ant development targets (tasks).
- build.properties — File. Provides project specific Ant configuration properties.
- pom.xml — File. Provides the Maven POM library dependencies.
- proxy.properties — File. Provides optional proxy server connection properties.
- transact-auth.properties — File. Provides the Journey Manager server authentication credentials and URLs.

Ant Build

SDK Libraries

To run the Ant build tasks you need to configure your IDE or CI server to reference all the Journey SDK library JAR files. These JAR files are contained in the Journey SDK distribution folders shown below.

transact-sdk

When running the Ant tasks in a CI context these libraries can be specified on the Ant process command line. An example app-package task command line is shown below.

ant -lib ../transact-sdk-22.4.0/lib app-package

Ant Build File

An Ant build.xml project file is shown below.

This build file references the following property files to externalize a number of configuration items.

build.properties
transact-auth.properties
proxy.properties

note

The build file must include the <taskdef> elements to make the Journey SDK Ant tasks available for use in for your project.

Journey Auth Properties File

An example transact-auth.properties file is shown below.

note

As a general rule, don't check this file into source control as it may contain sensitive user credentials.

On CI servers such as Jenkins, Bamboo or TeamCity these properties would be managed by the CI sever's configuration management features.
