The OSIDs (available from osid.org) are the service interface definitions. This wiki has information about the OSIDs and the Okapia open-source implementation.
Download
Getting Okapia jars from the maven repository.
Try An Example
Clone a sample application and OSID Provider:
% git clone git://git.assembla.com/osid-sample.git % cd osid-sample % make run
If you count nine planets, your OSID environment is working. Anything less then there was a serious problem.
net.okapia.osid.sample.Test illustrates the basics of consuming an OSID.
- Starting up the OSID Runtime environment.
- Loading a Resource OSID Provider
- Getting some stuff from it.
The Resource OSID Provider is net.okapia.osid.sample.providers.resource.solarsystem. It demonstrates:
- An OsidManager.
- Setting up the identity of the service provider.
- Implementing a simple OsidSession.
- Implementing an OsidRecord attached to an OsidObject.
