Niord

The niord repository contains the common code-base for the NW + NM T&P editing and publishing system.

Development Setup

To get started with developing Niord you need to check out the developer guide at http://docs.niord.org/dev-guide/guide.html.

Country-specific Implementations

Country-specific implementations of the Niord system are easily created using a web-application overlay project. Here additional code can be added and web resources (images, stylesheets, javascript files, etc) can be replaced with custom versions.

For an example, please refer to niord-dk - a Danish implementation of Niord.

Public API

A swagger definition of the public portion of the Rest API is published at https://niord.dma.dk/swagger/swagger-ui.html/.

The swagger definition is generated from the jersey annotated methods in ApiRestService.java and S124RestService.java.

Configuration

Sensitive or environment-specific settings should be placed in a "${niord.home}/niord.json" file. Example:

[
  {
    "key"         : "baseUri",
    "description" : "The base application server URI",
    "value"       : "https://niord.mydomain.com",
    "web"         : false,
    "editable"    : true
  },
  {
    "key"         : "wmsLogin",
    "description" : "The WMS login",
    "value"       : "YOUR-SECRET-WMS-LOGIN",
    "web"         : false,
    "editable"    : true
  },
  {
    "key"         : "wmsPassword",
    "description" : "The WMS password",
    "value"       : "YOUR-SECRET-WMS-PASSWORD",
    "type"        : "Password",
    "web"         : false,
    "editable"    : true
  }
]

Tips and Tricks

IntelliJ set-up:

Notice the following describes the setup for a previous version of Niord.

• First, check out and open the parent niord project in IntelliJ.
• In Run -> Edit configuration..., configure a new local JBoss server based on the niord-appsrv project.
• Deploy "niord-web:war exploded" to the server.
• If working on a country-specific Niord implementation, e.g. niord-dk, import this maven project via the "Maven Projects" tab. Deploy the imported project to Wildfly instead of "niord-web".
• If you have only updated web resources, there is no need to re-deploy the web application. Use the "Update resources" function instead.
• To get rid of superfluous IntelliJ code editor warnings, disable the "Declaration access can be weaker" and "Dangling Javadoc comment" inspections.
