Chapter 36. Library Sample

36.1. Introduction

Compass::Samples [library] is a basic example, that highlights the main features of Compass::Core. The application contains a small library domain model, containing Author, Article and Book Objects.

You can find most of Compass::Core features used within the library sample, such as OSEM and Common Metadata. It executes as a unit test, using JUnit and can be used to search a predefined set of data. Modify the LibraryTests class to add your own test data and experiment with how easy it is to work with Compass. Enjoy.

36.2. Running The Sample

Running the library sample, you will need to have Apache Ant installed and have ANT_HOME/bin on your path. The following table lists the available ant targets.
