Installation of OpenAPI web services and JavaScript library

This issue may now be addressed upon your convenience @martin-kuba

• The OpenAPI custom web services are available in the GitHub repository:
  • https://github.com/SDI4Apps/openapi
  • The repository is a Maven Java repository with two target profiles 'remote' and 'local'
  • The project compiles to the single distributable openapi.war
  • The project depends on three databases being present on the host
  • The project depends on settings in profile-specific settings files that are excluded from the repository for obvious security reasons.
  • The settings file defines database connection parameters as well as paths to file locations used by the OpenAPI custom web services
• The OpenAPI indexer cron-job task is available in the GitHub repository:
  • https://github.com/SDI4Apps/cronindexer.git
  • The repository is a Maven Java repository with two target profiles 'remote' and 'local'
  • The project compiles to the single executable Jar file 'cronindexer.jar' that includes all dependent libraries to be self-contained.
  • The project depends on one database being present on the host
  • The project depends on settings in two profile-specific settings files that are excluded from the repository for obvious security reasons.
  • The settings file defines database connection parameters as well as paths to file locations used by the OpenAPI custom web services
  • The JAR depends on GDAL/OGR being installed on the host server
  • The JAR should be executed as a CRON job, every 5 minutes at the outset
  • The JAR must be executed setting paths to shared JNI libraries as well as extending the classpath to include 'gdal.jar'
  • The executable class is eu.sdi4apps.ftgeosearh

This example shows how the invocation of the cron JAR is done on the 'main' platform server

java -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/ -cp "cronindexer.jar:/usr/lib/jni/*.so:/usr/share/java/gdal.jar" eu.sdi4apps.ftgeosearch.CronJob

• The JavaScript library is available in the GitHub repository
  • https://github.com/SDI4Apps/s4a.js
  • The repository is managed using NPM
  • The build system is Grunt
  • The compiled distribution files are included in the repository (possibly bad practice) under the folder /dist/
  • The library should be available under the path cdn on the

@runarbe please provide the way how the databases should be created
