Getting Started

Summary

The OSIDs (available from osid.org) are the service interface definitions. This wiki has information about the OSIDs and the Okapia open-source implementation.

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 would be a serious problem.

What It Does

OSID Consumer

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.

OSID Provider

The OSID Resource Provider is net.okapia.osid.sample.providers.resource.solarsystem. It demonstrates the basics of an OSID Provider using the Okapia OSID implementation framework.

• An OsidManager.
• Setting up the identity of the service provider.
• Implementing a simple OsidSession.
• Implementing an OsidRecord attached to an OsidObject.
