[izpack-user] RE: Automated install - issues running custom process classes
Niambh Scullion
Hi Guys,
I hope all is well, and I hope someone can advise with the issue I am having. On Friday I posted the problem below I was having running an Installer in the automated mode.
I have identified what I think is causing the problem, which is the automated installer is invoking the process, however there is an idata object that we set in a custom panel that is null. This is the problem I am seeing below.
So, I am now looking at the automation within this pre-processing class, I have created an CuramPreProcessAutomationHelper class with two methods:
· public void makeXMLData(final AutomatedInstallData idata,
final IXMLElement panelRoot) { }
· public void runAutomated(final AutomatedInstallData idata,
final IXMLElement panelRoot) throws InstallerException {}
My main CuramPreProcess, has a method
· public void makeXMLData(final IXMLElement panelRoot) {}, this method hooks into my CuramPreProcessAutomationHelper. makeXMLData(..)
When I run my installer, I can see that any variable I add to the XMLData file is set, however when I run the installer in automated mode my preprocess panel is still not executed.
Cheers,
Niambh

Subject: Automated install - issues running custom process classes
Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me, we have created a finish panel that produces an xml automation script, using the recommendation of using GridbagLayout.
When I run my automated script using the following command “java -jar -verbose Development.jar installDocument.xml” (the installDocument is in the same directory as my installer).
In our installer, we have a number of classes that are executed as part of the ProcessPanelSpec, when I run my installer and pass in my xml file, I am getting the error below:
Read pack list from xml definition.
Try to remove from selection [Name: C·ram Reporting and Index: 0]
Try to add to selection [Name: C·ram Enterprise Framework and Index: 1]
Modify pack selection.
Pack [Name: C·ram Reporting and Index: 0] removed from selection.

[ Automated installation FAILED! ]
In my ApplicationInstallationManager I have a method
public void run(final AbstractUIProcessHandler handler,
final String[] arguments){
//do
//some
//stuff
}
Do I need anything extra to run a process class in an Automated install. I also need to add, we keep our class files completely separate to IZPack, and all our classes are jared into our own jar file.
Many thanks in advance,
Niambh

Hi there, oops, I got it! The helper class must have the same name as the original class, with AutomationHelper appended to the name of the helper class.
