-<h2>Simple Tutorial for using ReDaC (<span style="font-style: italic;">Redeployment and Reconfiguration</span>)</h2>
-
-
-<span style="font-weight: bold;">Prerequisite</span><b>:<br>
-
-
-<br>
-
-
-</b>Before you proceed further, please read the <a href="./step-by-step.html">step-by-step</a> tutorial
-page first.<b><br>
-
-
-<br>
-
-
-</b><b>Note:</b>
-<br>
-
-
-<ul>
-
-
-  <li>ReDaC is a middleware service provided by the <a href="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/%7Eschmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/CIAO/docs/releasenotes/dance.html">DAnCE</a>
-framework.</li>
-
-
-  <li>ReDaC service is used for redeployment and/or
-reconfiguration of your&nbsp;running component-based application on
-the fly without shutting down your application.&nbsp;</li>
-
-
-  <li>ReDaC currently works for CIAO QoS-enabled component
-middleware only.</li>
-
-
-</ul>
-
-
-<hr>
-<h2>Example Description</h2>
-
-
-We will use the Hello example to illustrate how one could use ReDaC
-service to perform redeployment and reconfiguration.
-<hr>
-<h3>Initial Deployment</h3>
-
-
-Below steps are required for the initial deployment of your application,
-which is performed by DAnCE. The below steps are different from those
-presented in the <a href="./step-by-step.html">step-by-step</a>
-tutorial page in the sense that we pass different command line options
-to the <span style="font-style: italic;">Plan_Launcher</span>
-client:<br>
-
-
-<ul>
-
-
-  <li> Go into the <em> descriptors </em> directory
-Start NodeManagers (NodeDameons) by running <code>
-run_NodeDaemons.pl </code> </li>
-
-
-  
-  <ul>
-
-
-    <li>This step is the same as the one presented in the
-&nbsp;<a href="step-by-step.html">step-by-step</a>
-tutorial page. </li>
-
-
-  
-  </ul>
-
-
-  <li> Start the execution manager: <code>$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE/ExecutionManager/Execution_Manager
--o EM.ior -i NodeManagerMap.dat </code> </li>
-
-
-  
-  <ul>
-
-
-    <li> As one can see, we use the
-"NodeManagerMap.dat" file to instruct the Execution_Manager how to find
-the endpoint of each individual NodeManager (i.e., Node Daemon) where
-component(s) will be deployed.</li>
-
-
-  
-  </ul>
-
-
-  
-  <ul>
-
-
-    <li>This step is the same as the one presented in the
-&nbsp;<a href="step-by-step.html">step-by-step</a>
-tutorial page. </li>
-
-
-  
-  </ul>
-
-
-  <li> Start the plan launcher: <code>
-$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE/Plan_Launcher/plan_launcher -p
-flattened_deploymentplan_without_ns.cdp -k file://EM.ior -o DAM.ior</code>&nbsp;</li>
-
-
-  
-  <ul>
-
-
-    <li>After this, components should be deployed
-successfully. </li>
-
-
-    <li>This step is different &nbsp;from the one presented
-in the
-&nbsp;<a href="step-by-step.html">step-by-step</a>
-tutorial page in the way that we added an additional "<code>-o</code>"
-option when running <code>Plan_Launcher</code>, which
-dumps an IOR file of DAnCE's DomainApplicationManager. &nbsp;With
-this option added, the <code>plan_launcher </code>will
-exit immediately after the application is deployed, instead of staying
-in the interactive mode. (As a normal user, you don't need to worry
-about the details of what exactly a DomainApplicationManager is.)</li>
-
-
-  
-  </ul>
-
-
-</ul>
-
-
-<hr>
-<h3>Redeployment and Reconfiguration</h3>
-
-
-Basically, you could use ReDaC service in two ways. <br>
-
-
-<ol style="font-weight: bold;">
-
-
-  <li>Use ReDaC service <span style="font-style: italic;">directly</span>
-through DAnCE's&nbsp;<span style="font-style: italic;">Plan_Launcher</span>
-client</li>
-
-
-  <li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use ReDaC
-service <span style="font-style: italic;">programmatically</span>
-by writing your own client</span></li>
-
-
-</ol>
-
-
-This tutorial illustrates how exactly you could use ReDaC.<br>
-
-
-<br style="font-weight: bold;">
-
-
-<span style="font-weight: bold;">Use ReDaC service through
-</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Plan_Launcher</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">&nbsp; of DAnCE:</span><br>
-
-
-<ul>
-
-
-  <li>As we've already mentioned, you should first deploy your
-Hello application with DAnCE, which is described in the above "Initial
-Deployment" section of this tutorial.<code> </code>
-  </li>
-
-
-  <li>
-    
-    <p> Use ReDaC service through <code>Plan_Launcher</code>'s
-"-r" command line option to perform redeployment and reconfiguration.<br>
-
-
-Run the command
-    <code>$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE/Plan_Launcher/plan_launcher -r
-flattened_deploymentplan_without_ns_add.cdp </code>will add
-additional components to the existing running assembly.</p>
-
-
-  </li>
-
-
-  <li>
-    
-    <p>Run the command
-    <code>$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE/Plan_Launcher/plan_launcher -r
-flattened_deploymentplan_without_ns_remove.cdp </code>will
-remove components from the existing running assembly.</p>
-
-
-  </li>
-
-
-  <li>Run the command
-    <code></code><code>$CIAO_ROOT/DAnCE/Plan_Launcher/plan_launcher
--i file://DAM.ior</code> will tear down your entire application
-completely.</li>
-
-
-</ul>
-
-
-<br>
-
-
-<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: &nbsp;</span>By
-using ReDaC through Plan_Launcher, as a user you must provide a new
-DeploymentPlan (.cdp) XML file, which captures the new deployment and
-configuration settings of your application, and the Plan_UUID of the
-new DeploymentPlan should be&nbsp;the same as the one of the old
-(running) DeploymentPlan. Otherwise, DAnCE will think you want to
-deploy a totally different deployment plan, instead of applying some
-changes to the existing plan. One could use <a href="http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/cosmic">CoSMIC</a> MDD tool to create such a deployment plan XML file.<br>
-
-</div>
-
-
-<br>
-
-
-<span style="font-weight: bold;">Use ReDaC service <span style="font-style: italic;">programmatically</span>:</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>
-<ul>
-
-
-  
-  <p> You could also use ReDaC service programmatically by writing your
-own client to invoke ReDaC service. Basically, to accomplish this, your
-client program needs to:</p>
-
-  
-  <ol>
-
-    <li>Obtain the&nbsp;<code>ExecutionManager</code> object reference, either through naming service or through IOR file.</li>
-
-    <li>Invoke the operation&nbsp;<code>perform_redeployment</code> on this interface by passing a single argument type called&nbsp;<code>DeploymentPlan</code>.</li>
-
-  
-  </ol>
-
-
-</ul>
-
-
-<div style="margin-left: 40px;">The IDL signature of this operation is as follows:<br>
-
-<code><br>
-
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; void perform_redeployment (in DeploymentPlan new_plan)<br>
-
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; raises (PlanError,<br>
-
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; InstallationFailure,<br>
-
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UnknownImplId,<br>
-
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ImplEntryPointNotFound,<br>
-
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; InvalidConnection,<br>
-
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; InvalidProperty,<br>
-
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ::Components::RemoveFailure);</code><br>
-
-</div>
-
-
-<br>
-<div style="margin-left: 40px;">In order to simplify the creation of a the&nbsp;<code>"new_plan", </code>we are implementing a utility class which allows a developer to easily manipulate a deployment plan data structure.</div>

-Event Descriptors for Hello Example
-===================================
-
-This folder contains several deployemnts to demonstrate and test the
-functionality of rt event channel integration into CIAO/DAnCE.
-Please see $CIAO_ROOT/docs/schema/CIAOEvents.txt for a detailed description
-how to configure descriptor files accordingly.
-
-The rest of this file describes the rule of the files in this directory.
-
-single files and their role:
-----------------------------
-
-./run_test.pl			: script that executes all available tests
-
-./run_NodeDaemons.pl 		: script to launch two empty NodeApplications
-./run_NodeDaemons_svc_conf.pl 	: starts two node NodeApplications on the 
-				  localhost interface and loads rtec.conf on 
-				  startup
-./run_NodeDaemons_with_ip.pl 	: starts two node NodeApplications under the
-				  IP address and not on the localhost interface
-
-./NodeManagerMap.dat		: contains ip addresses for SenderNode and 
-				  ReceiverNode (both on localhost)
-./NodeManagerMap_collocated.dat	: contains an ip address for a single 
-				  SenderNode (on localhost)
-./NodeManagerMapTwoHosts.dat	: contains ip addresses for SenderNode 
-				  (on localhost) and ReceiverNode 
-				  (on real ip address)
-
-./rtec.conf			: example for a service configurator file 
-				  for the event service
-
-
-existing test cases:
---------------------
-
-./ciao-events-example.ced
-./deploymentplan_events.cdp 
-./run_test_simple.pl
-
-	Uses the standard event service and connects one sender to one 
-	receiver. In the standard configuration, used here, the EventChannel 
-	is running collocated within the NodeApplication "SenderNode", where
-	the sender component is located:
-	SenderNode[Sender --> ES] --> ReceiverNode[Receiver]
-
-./ciao-events-example-collocated.ced
-./deploymentplan_events_collocated.cdp 
-./run_test_collocated.pl:
-
-	This example modifies the standard example by deploying all components
-	within one node:
-	SenderNode[Sender --> ES --> Receiver]
-
-./ciao-events-example-with-federation.ced
-./deploymentplan_federation.cdp
-./run_test_federated.pl:
-
-	In this example, two Event Services ES_01 and ES_02 are federated.
-	The Sender Event Port is then connected to the first service, while
-	the Receiver gets its events from the second service.
-	All entities are collocated in one node process:
-	SenderNode[Sender --> ES_01 --> ES_02 --> Receiver]
-
-	(problem:
-	Receiver - Informed by the Sender with message [ACE/TAO/CIAO]
-	CORBA EXCEPTION caught
-	(27698|3072210624) EXCEPTION, RTEventServiceConsumer_impl::push()
-
-	system exception, ID 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/BAD_INV_ORDER:1.0'
-	Unknown vendor minor code id (0), minor code = 0, completed = NO
-	)

-./deploymentplan_with_filters.cdp
-./run_test_filtered.pl:
-
-	This example applies a filter to the EventService connection on the
- 	receiver side. In this case the filter contains a disjunction group
-	of two sender component sources.
-	SenderNode[Sender --> ES -{Filter}-> Receiver]
-
-./ciao-events-federation-mcast.ced
-./deploymentplan_federation_mcast.cdp
-./run_test_multicast.pl:
-
-	To test collocated use of multicast federation of event channels
-	use this example. It deploys sender and receiver in the same
-	node and connects them through two eventchannels, using udp 
-	multicast to communicate:
-	SenderNode[Sender --> ES_01 --> udp_sender -UDP{224.9.9.2:1234}-> 
-	    udp_mcast_receiver --> ES_02 --> Receiver]	
-
-
-	(unresolved failure:
-	Create a receiver object with addr_serv_id: addr_serv_1
-	(20850|3072210624) EXCEPTION, NodeApplication_Impl::finishLaunch	
-
-	system exception, ID 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/UNKNOWN:1.0'
-	OMG minor code (1), described as 'Unlisted user exception received by c
-	lient.', completed = MAYBE
-	)
-
-./ciao-events-federation-udp.ced
-./deploymentplan_federation_udp.cdp
-./run_test_udp.pl:
-
-	In this example, udp communication is used to send the event
-	from one sender node to a receiver node:
-	SenderNode[Sender --> ES --> udp_sender] -UDP{localhost:1234}->
-	    ReceiverNode[udp_receiver --> ES_02 --> Receiver]
-
-./ciao-events-federation-udp-collocated.ced
-./deploymentplan_federation_udp_collocated.cdp
-./run_test_udp_collocated.pl:
-
-	Same example, as the above udp example, but deployed on a
-	single node application and therefore collocated:
-	SenderNode[Sender --> ES_01 --> udp_sender -UDP{localhost:1234}-> 
-	    udp_receiver --> ES_02 --> Receiver]
-
-./ciao-events-federation-udp-two-hosts.ced
-./deploymentplan_federation_udp_two_hosts.cdp
-
-	this test is not yet automated, because the nodes are
-	supposed to be deployed on two different host machines:
-	SenderNode[Sender --> ES_01 --> udp_sender] 
-	    -UDP{129.59.129.181:1234}-> 
-	        ReceiverNode[udp_receiver --> ES_02 --> ReceiverNode]
-
-./ciao-events-example.ced
-./deploymentplan_multiple_senders.cdp
-./run_test_multiple_senders.pl:
-
-	This example extends the standard example by adding two more sender
-	components to the SenderNode:
-		  [Sender01  -->    ]	
-	SenderNode[Sender02  --> ES ] --> ReceiverNode[Receiver]
-		  [Sender03  -->    ]
