Prototype Java implementation of query language interfacing to IAKS XTrack

Installation instructions

The demonstration consists of two parts both packed in a java archive file: A java 3D modelviewer for preselected queries and a set of trajectory data from the Iaks XTrack. You will need Java 1.4.0_01 and Java3D 1.3.1 to run the demo. 512MB or more memory is recommended to run the demo.



Step 1: (check java installation)

Check the java installation on the machine(s) were you want to run the demo by running:

java -version

on the command line. Here is the output from the linux machine were the demostration was tested:

java version "1.4.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)



Step 2: (check Java3D installation)

change directory to the Java Runtime Environment directory. Look for libs from Java3D in .../jre/lib/i386/ named:

libJ3D.so, libJ3DUtils.so, libj3daudio.so, ...

If there are none, you can get Java3D at the
Java 3D Download Page: [Windows/Solaris] , [Linux] .

Installation instructions can be found for the platforms at
Java 3D Installation Notes: [Windows/Solaris] , [Linux]

Step 3: (download the archives)

Download the software from below and put all in a directory, where you want to run it.
[Download the Demo]
[Download the Trajectory Files]


Step 4: (unpack the examples)

Unpack the Trajectories in the archive by running:

jar xfv Trajectories.jar

on the command line.


Step 5: (run the Demo)

To start the demo on your machine type

java -Xmx200m -jar DemoQuery.jar

on the command line. The option -Xmx200m increases the maximum heap size of the Java Virtual Machine to 200MB. Omitting the option will lead to an "out of memory" exception, when constucting a 3D model.


An explanation of the demo
