With the Go-Live of a Strolch-based application around the corner, it is time to release Version 1.0.0 of Strolch. To this affect we have now released version 1.0.0-RC1 which can be downloaded on the download page.

Story

Strolch as a component based software agent has been two years in the making. The concepts in Strolch have been taken from a proprietary planning, scheduling and controlling software agent, which was, and is been, used in industrial automation, logistics and production. Strolch was created to bring the concepts, which were working well for small teams to go-live with large projects in short to medium time-frames to the open source world.

Strolch was completely rewritten using the key concepts of a parameterized object model and a component based agent but remembering which clutches the original implementation had, thus trying to eradicate those without bringing in new ones. It might not be perfect in version 1.0.0, but it is a starting point form which to carry on from.

Features

Strolch isn’t feature complete by a long shot, but it sure has got many features which make it useable in a concrete project, thus making sure it is not vaporware =)

The following is a list of key features, many of which were driven by concrete project requirements:

  • Separate containers for models (mandates)
  • Parameterized model with full CRUD for Resource and Order objects
  • Timed values on Resources to map values by time
  • Built-in versioning of model - configurable by Realm
  • Transparent runtime modes: TRANSIENT, CACHED, TRANSACTIONAL*
  • Service and Command pattern for reusing functionality
  • XML File based persistence layer*
  • PostgreSQL persistence layer*
  • Querying using a fluent API
  • Services to import and export a model to XML
  • Integrated authentication and authorization to validate user privileges using Privilege
  • Ready to use Observer pattern
  • (currently) Read-only REST API to access the agent model remotely
  • Configurable environments
  • Opt-in audit trail (including read access, and the audits themselves)
  • Basic components required to communicate with external devices using TCP/IP
  • With the light weight implementation, where there are basically no third party libraries required for the normal runtime, Strolch has a minimal foot print which allows it to run on small devices for instance a BeagleBone Black. Using the in-memory mode, it is an easy feat to set up test environments with little to no further requirements than the JVM.

Future

So what is planned for the future? Although Strolch has quite a few interesting features, it is by no way feature complete. The greatest wish is for Strolch to become a community driven platform, so many new features will arise in the future, but at least one major future feature which will be tackled in the near future and will certainly drive the next major release is a planning and scheduling engine using a Gantt chart to visualize the schedule.

The planning engine will use the timed values on Resources extensively to create a planning engine on which Workflows can be placed and allowing to detect violations and bottlenecks.

An extension of the planning of the scheduling engine will allow more than just placing Workflows on Resources, but actually searching groups of Resources for a time slot of when to place tasks. This will allow to use capacity constraints to plan and schedule workflows using different algorithms, and respecting calendars etc.

Further time will be spent on giving Strolch it’s own UI. Currently the idea is to use Google’s Polymer to implement the UI, thus creating reusable widgets that can be used in projects.

Take it for a spin

So, now the important part is for new users to start using Strolch for their own projects. Go ahead, check out the Downloads page for the latest release and then checkout the two tutorial applications to get yourself up to speed!

Don’t hesitate to send us feedback or questions, we will be delighted to help you get your Strolch-based application up and running, or provide feedback to your concerns!

Important feature Database Initialization added: Release of 1.0.0-RC3 which can -be downloaded on the download page.

When living continuous integration and continuous delivery, it is vital that -things like database migrations and initialization are performed in a -controlled, but automatic way.

A Strolch-based application is using the PostgreSQL persistence layer. The -implementation understands the concepts of migration, and validating the -database schema, but currently a mechanism to automatically initialize the -database with a minimal set of data was missing.

Migrating a database for Strolch is mostly a one time thing. The object model in -Strolch is quite static, so there is seldom a need to migrate the database. -Domain specific changes, i.e. new Resources, or adding Parameters to Resources, -is not a schema change. Thus, instead of going the way other frameworks go, e.g. -Ruby on Rails, we built the data initialization right into the -PersistenceHandler.

Now if the PostgreSQL PersistenceHandler creates the schema, then it might also -initialize the minimal set of data. For this to work, the PersistenceHandler -checks if the flags allowSchemaCreation, allowSchemaDrop and -allowDbInitOnSchemaCreate. If those flags are enabled, and the schema was -created during initialization, then the database is also initialized with the -contents of the XML file configured under key dataStoreFile of the relevant -Realm.

The database initialization is done as a system user action which must have the -name db_initializer. This is another fail-safe, so that on a production system, -this user can simply be deleted.

So, Strolch 1.0.0-RC3 is out the door, go ahead and try it out.

Before 1.0.0 could be released, some major changes were decided, all driven by -the first big project using Strolch as its underlying stack. Those changes were -minor, and really major, but should make Strolch better and was important for -the first release.

Here is a list of the most interesting changes:

  • Java 8 - Strolch was ported to Java 8. This gives a lot of cool features: The -stream API, lambdas, the new time API, etc.
  • TX refactoring: Strolch transactions are instances of Closeable so that they -are closed using a try-with-resource block in Java7. The change that was -required was to not auto commit. Now a TX is read-only and one has to set the -auto commit as the last statement. See this commit for more information.
  • Added a tx.flush() to allow an implementation to flush part of a transaction, -this feature is vital to perform parts of a transaction before deciding if the -TX should be committed.
  • Fixed the issue where data store mode CACHED performed TRANSACTIONAL queries, -instead of staying in-memory.
  • ParameterSelection.stringListSelection() uses a StringMatchMode instead of -just equals()
  • ParameterSelection.dateRangeSelection() uses a DateRange instead of just -equals()
  • Added the MigrationsHandler to use to perform code migrations of production -data bases where data shouldn’t go lost.
  • And many more…

Strolch 1.1.0 is already in development and can also be downloaded from the -download page. Here you can see the current change list -on GitHub. For -instance heavy work has been done to implement privilege management by adding a -REST API. Looking forward to a wonderful next Strolch release.

Activities: Beginning of the planning engine

Activities: Beginning of the planning engine

The ground work of the Strolch planning engine has been laid.

One of the core ideas in building Strolch was to create a planning engine. The -planning engine would work in combination of Order objects representing customer -orders, Resource objects representing machines, human resources, etc., and -Activity/Action hierarchies defining a workflow.

With the latest couple of commits to Strolch we have now added Activities and a -basic planning of Actions onto Resources. Activities have an ordered list of -IActivityElement which allows creating an arbitrary deep tree structure of -Activity and Action elements.

Action objects have a list of IValueChange objects which define the start, end -and further value changes over time on a referenced Resource. Thus planning an -Activity is done by iterating the Activity hierarchy and for every Action -selecting a relevant Resource and then then applying the changes of the Action -on to the referenced TimeState on the Resource.

This implementation is currently very simple as it ignores all constraints which -a Resource might have. In further development we shall implement a Violation -model so that UIs can be built to visualize the over-use of Resources.

In even further steps we would then start implementing algorithms to not just -apply the changes onto a Resource, but to actually search the Resource for time -slots when the value changes would not violate any constraints applied to the -resource.

We are very much looking forward to these new features. Stay tuned for your -updates - even though they do take their time to arrive =).

Strolch Update

Long due update on Strolch development.

Although we have been rather quiet in the last couple of months, anyone viewing -Strolch’s commit log, will see that we certainly didn’t halt Strolch -development.

We have been hard at work, using Strolch in projects, which required many new -features and fixes. The commit log shows as of today over 180 commits since the -release tag 1.0.0.

Some of the most exciting changes are:

  • REST API to query model, incl. privilege management.
  • JSON marshalling of all elements.
  • Added Policies
  • Added persisting of user sessions.
  • New JavaScript based UI to view Strolch’s model. This is an initial version -and more UI elements and functions will follow.
  • Basic planning engine functionality.

Further new features and changes are:

  • Implemented a REST API to the privilege management - Now users can be added, -changed, etc. via call to the appropriate URL under ../strolch/privilege/*.
  • Implemented a REST API to query the user sessions. Incl. invalidating sessions -to forcefully logout users.
  • Implemented a REST API to query Audits.
  • Implemented REST API to query Orders, Resources and Activities/Actions
  • Implemented REST API to update Resources and Orders from XML
  • REST API to authenticate now adds a cookie, so authorization is much simpler.
  • Added convenience methods in Service and Command to easily perform system user -actions.
  • Added audits for login/logout of users.
  • Added audits for changes to privilege management.
  • PostgreSQL persistence layer now -uses HikariCP -for connection pooling.
  • Implemented a performance test project
  • Added new Parameters of type IntegerList, FloatList and LongList.
  • Added feature to ignore a realm on DB init.
  • Implemented core planning functionality.
  • Added strolch_minimal and strolch_minimal_rest projects to easily get started.
  • Query API now has built in ordering.
  • Added Policy to all root elements.
  • Added new planning web app project. This is a test application for demoing the -planning engine functionality of Strolch.
  • Adding the persisting and reloading of user sessions, so that a new start of -Strolch does not logout users.
  • Implemented to JSON visitors for all root elements.

So, although we’ve been rather quiet on the blog and on social media, we have -not been quiet in Strolch’s development. We are planning to release version -1.1.0 soon, so stay tuned!

A few months ago we informed of the soon to be released version 1.1.0. Well, we -decided to jump to 1.2.0 because we did some refactorings. All the eitchnet -projects have been melted into Strolch and thus now it’s all one nice package. -This will result in simpler development and less constraints on APIs between the -two projects.

Other than that, not much changed, but we are continually working on Strolch, so -go grab your latest copy and have fun coding!

Versioning of objects

Versioning of objects

Opt-In versioning of objects

A major new feature has landed in Strolch. Now, using opt-in, it is possible to -have all changes to the object model be versioned. This means that any change to -Order, Resource or Activity is automatically versioned and one can then revert -to this version later on.

This will make it far easier to implement undo operations in applications since -it is an inherent part of the lifecycle of objects in Strolch.

Since Strolch is supposed to be used also in small footprint hardware, this -option is opt-in.

A side affect of this new feature is that we have for the time being not ported -the XML persistence layer. If this is required, then someone drop us a note and -we’ll check on it.

So now go ahead and add <enableVersioning>true</enableVersioning> to your Realm -so that versioning is enabled.

Wow, the many changes!

Wow, the many changes!

So many changes, and so long no update - not good!

Oh boy, have we forgotten to update you all on the latest awesome features in -Strolch! There are -over 123 commits -since the last tag 1.3.0, so that alone merits a new blog post.

Currently the latest tag is 1.5.5, but this version is actually already quite -old, as it was created on 31. January 2017 and there are 53 new commits ahead of -the tag.

Enough of all the commits, lets get to the new features:

  • Added new generic report creator
  • Added Activity.TimeOrdering and updated Model XSD
  • Implemented State Model on Activity/Actions
  • Implemented execution of Activities
  • Implemented EventBasedExecutionHandler
  • Added StrolchXmlParser to quickly parse from a file
  • Add Activity.remove(String) to remove an element
  • Refactored LockHandler to use Locator
  • Added Activity.getActionsWithState(State)
  • Moved *ToFlat and *FromFlat Json Visitors to strolch model
  • Added StrolchElementQuery.internal()
  • Added Parameter.clearValue() and list parameters use , as sep
  • Json Tags are now in Tags.Json and are drinking camel-case
  • Moved PrivilegeAddUserService to command, added tests
  • Lots of JavaDoc updates
  • Refactored code for REST Inspector to use gson
  • Added inspector REST api for activities
  • Inspector now has offset/limit for queries
  • Added new StringMapArgument for StrolchServices
  • Added missing activity observer calls in AbstractTransaction
  • Added StringMapResult to use as a ServiceResult
  • Removed many visitors and implemented proper visitor pattern…
  • Don’t log stack trace if certificate does not exist
  • SmtpMailer now understands whitelists for override
  • Fixed locator finding for Activity and Action
  • Fixed undo logic for general commands

To summarize, execution and reporting are the two new features that make -Strolch really awesome! We use execution to perform a number of actions on a -remote device connected to a Strolch agent through WebSockets. This allows -serial and parallel execution of actions and of course locking of concurrently -used resources.

In an enterprise world reports can never be missed, so we needed an API to -create reports. Of course that API was created in a way that all things are done -in Strolch: generically. Thus a report is created as a Resource, defining the -report object, columns and any relevant joins.

And one of the really cool things is that we have started with a UI for Strolch. -There is now an Inspector -with which the entire data model of a running agent can be seen. This inspector -is built using Polymer and WebComponents and thus can be easily embedded in your -application.

To facilitate the authentication of a user for the inspector, -an authentication component was -created as well. And of course i18n can’t be forgotten, so there is a component -for that too.

To simplify tasks in a web project, there is also -a StrolchJs repository where certain -Strolch specific things are handled e.g. querying the authenticated user’s roles -etc.

The release of the next Strolch version isn’t defined yet, as we are internally -building a project on all these changes and with the release 1.0.0 of that -project (which will be soon), we shall perform the next release of Strolch.

Until then, happy coding!

Strolch queries are deprecated!

Strolch has had once again many changes, and fixes etc. One important thing to -note is that we have removed support for transactional mode and have rewritten -how models are searched. Thus the search API was born.

Strolch Reports

Strolch can do reports!

A feature we haven’t written about yet is the report API. Strolch has it’s own -API to generate reports of data, and since we have a generic model, we use -Resource of type Report to define them.

Go check out the documentation and then enjoy using this easy way to deliver the -reports your peers require.
