Joseki is downloadable in several forms. There is a full, "download-and-go" form that contains everything you need running a standalone server; this includes copies of all the JARs files needed from other systems. Other packaging may be available. This page assumes you have downloaded the full version.
The Joseki server is packaged under a single directory named "Joseki-<version>", where "<version>" is the release version number. The main directories and files are:
Having unpacked the download file, go to the root directory of the download.
Set the classpath: put all the JAR files in the lib/ directory on your classpath.
# Linux/Unix/Cygwin: cd <the root directory> export JOSEKI_HOME="$PWD" export CLASSPATH="$(bin/joseki_path)"
@REM Windows cd <the root directory> set JOSEKI_HOME=<the root directory> bin\joseki_path set CLASSPATH=%CP%
Still in that directory, run some of the test suite.
java junit.textui.TestRunner org.joseki.test.JosekiTests
This loads configuration from etc/. There should be the server log file output on the standard output stream. The JUnit should produce a green line. Some of the log messages say "error"; this is expected as the tests are of incorrect requests.
You should be able to write a configuration file and run the server:
java joseki.rdfserver <YourConfigurationFile>
The server prints its log file to standard out and this process does not terminate until the server exits.
From another shell or window, you can query the running server. A plain GET can be done using wget:
wget -q -O - http://localhost:2020/<YourModel>
and RDQL queries can be executed on the server with (making sure you have the classpath set):
# Linux/Unix/Cygwin: NB Single quotes on the query java joseki.rdfqueryremote --model http://localhost:2020/<YourModel> \ 'SELECT * WHERE (?x, ?y, ?z)' REM Windows java joseki.rdfqueryremote --model http://localhost:2020/<YourModel> \ "SELECT * WHERE (?x, ?y, ?z)"
There are scripts in the bin/ directory to run each of the applications. They need JOSEKI_HOME environment variable set but will set the classpath themselves. They have not been widely tested.
