Deployment

Option 1: Reference Scripts in an External JAR File

Step1: Add Maven Build target (pom.xml)

Ensure that the following maven build configuration is in your pom.xml file.

<packaging>jar</packaging>
<build>
      <defaultGoal>package</defaultGoal>
      <pluginManagement>
             <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                           <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                           <!-- 2.8.0-01 and later require maven-compiler-plugin 3.1 or higher -->
                           <version>3.1</version>
                           <configuration>
                                  <compilerId>groovy-eclipse-compiler</compilerId>
                           </configuration>
                           <dependencies>
                                  <dependency>
                                          <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
                                          <artifactId>groovy-eclipse-compiler</artifactId>
                                          <version>2.9.1-01</version>
                                  </dependency>
                                  <!-- for 2.8.0-01 and later you must have an explicit dependency on groovy-eclipse-batch -->
                                  <dependency>
                                          <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
                                          <artifactId>groovy-eclipse-batch</artifactId>
                                          <version>2.3.7-01</version>
                                   </dependency>
                             </dependencies>
                      </plugin>
              </plugins>
  </pluginManagement>
</build>
 

You can then run the maven package command ( mvn package) from the command line, or use your IDE to run the build and generate an external JAR file:

Step 2: Configure Flex Scripting Action

The following steps outline the configuration for Ooyala Flex to execute custom scripts in an external JAR file:

1) Upload a JAR file containing the above class, to a shared storage accessible by the Ooayala Flex Job nodes (HTTP(S) also supported)

2) Create a new action

a. Action Type: Script

b. Plugin: External Script Action

3) Configure the action to point to the JAR file and PluginCommand subclass:

4) Set the Flex system property to automatically reload JAR file changes:

Option 2: Copy and Paste Scripts to Flex Action

1) Create a new action.

a. Action Type: Script.

b. Plugin: Groovy Script Action.

2) Copy the def execute() method into the script action:
