Hello,

During my professional and free time I have been developing a platform entitled remedium. The goal of this platform is to allow simple tools to enjoy a consistent web browser interface.

Each app is defined using nothing more than a folder with a file entitled "index.bsh" a bit like PHP files work, with the exception that .bsh stands for BeanShell, a Java based scripting language (don't confuse with JavaScript).


This version of remedium provides a showcase of the platform, allowing developers to see how applications can be scripted in Java language using remedium as application server.

The LogTracker app is provided as example, it will only work on networks where an IBM Rational license server is available at a remote machine elsewhere located. The code itself is the part that will interest developers, to understand how this works underneath the hood:

- Run linux commands on remote servers using SSH
- Create graphics that can be displayed on the browser
- Store data on the CSV database
- Run operations at a given loop of time
- Create tabs inside a web page
- See how Java language is used in overall

There is a short manual file that explains some of the available features. You need to login as "admin" with password "admin" to access some tabs like "Settings" inside the logtracker app.

To access the app, you can browse to http://localhost:10101 or https://localhost if your machine allows the SSL port to be used.

To run, just double click the remedium.exe binary under windows or type "java -jar remedium.exe" under Linux or OSX.

--------

There exist many other features that remain to be documented. For example, the webget function or even the support to read the file version of DLL and EXE files without requiring Windows API. There are many nice things that can be done on top of this platform. For example, a winbuilder build on top of remedium allows other applications to interact nicely with it, using nothing more than wget or a browser.

This is where I am headed in the future.

Have fun.

Why is the nomenclature same as http://reboot.pro/14801/ ?

[Brito]

It is the same platform: remedium.

In the same manner as the first demonstration, I provide an application as example. At the time, sentinel was only made available as a compiled binary. Right now I am showcasing an application that is scripted. Meaning it needs no compiler and works in a similar fashion to PHP.

Forgot adding that these web apps are also ready for cellphone browsing. Very handy if you wish to control the apps on the desktop PC from a cellphone connected on the same network right from your pocket.

A screenshot from logtracker in action (since not many people have an IBM license server around):

I think the project description on the home page of the project is inappropriate

"remedium" is a cooperative virus defense system that aggregates information from users about files on their disks. This information is processed to expose malicious events activities.

If my understanding is correct, "remedium" is the app server where "sentinel", the virus defense system is hosted.

[Brito]

Yep, the virus defense part should be changed to "sentinel". At the time I wasn't really counting that development of the platform as a whole would grow so quickly to other uses.

Hm, That's why I got confused on the first place.

[Holmes.Sherlock]

Under Windows, I double click on remedium.exe. The icon appears beside the system clock. I tried to open up the control panel from the context menu & connect to both HTTP & HTTPS ports. Nothing happened. There is Java installed on my system.

[Brito]

Hello,

Hmm.. When I add SSL support it broke the icon functionality. I've corrected that detail.

You can visit http://localhost:10101 directly from your browser.

Tried earlier, not working.

[Brito]

In that case, check your firewall definitions. It seems that your machine is blocking Java from opening any communication port and doesn't even bring up the prompt to authorize port 10101.

No, on the same system, I ran your sentinel app earlier & it worked fine. The problem is somewhere else. Let me check.

[Brito]

Also, check the log to see if any meaningful message is available.

You can read it when launching the app from the command line or accessing http://localhost:10101/log

[Holmes.Sherlock]

HTTP connection is not working. HTTPS connection gives a warning whether to proceed or not due to security certificate issue. Clicking on "Proceed anyway" on chrome does not lead to anywhere else.

Admins only
This service is only available for administrators

[Brito]

This means that remedium is launched and running. I note that sometimes it is not possible to access the root URL at http://localhost:10101 while it is still possible to access the apps.

To login you can visit http://localhost/user and apply user name and password "admin".

HTTP is not working but HTTPS did. I'm dropped at

Valid login
Redirecting you to the main page..

But then it goes nowhere.

[Brito]

After login you can visit http://localhost:10101/logtracker

The root URL doesn't seem available on your machine, that is the main page that it tries to open after login.

If possible, run remedium from a virtual machine and it should work without these nuisances.

Otherwise we'll just be cluttering this topic.

It is working as intended. Since you are admin, you are now viewing the admin console that allows managing users.

Too bad you can't see the root URL.

• Is it a bug? I ran "netstat -ano" & found a service is LISTENING at 127.0.0.1:10101, as expected.
• I think, when you added the HTTPS support, HTTP support got broken.
• Is there any application "packcaged" in your remedium download apart from "sentinel" which a novice can try out?

can anyone help me ..that how can i make sp2 odifying folder to sp2.cab with iexpress....

Do you think this to be thread where discussion related to CAB files are going on? Please start a thread in the "appropriate" forum section. BTW, welocme to the community , Majoo.

[Brito]

Is it a bug? I ran "netstat -ano" & found a service is LISTENING at 127.0.0.1:10101, as expected.

I don't know yet. I suspect that something in your machine is interfering with localhost. That was the reason why I asked you to run from a virtual machine as well. If you restart the application a few times and the same issue occurs, it is definitively something in your machine that is causing interference.

I think, when you added the HTTPS support, HTTP support got broken.

Sure, I am slowly correcting defects when reported. SSL was one of the features that I had to provide before the end of the past month and only now begins to be stabilized.

Is there any application "packcaged" in your remedium download apart from "sentinel" which a novice can try out?

Right now you find apps inside the "apps" folders.

To start a new app is not difficult:
- create a new folder inside the "apps" folder
- create a file entitled "index.bsh"
- add the following contents to the index.bsh file:

title = "myApplication";



onStart(){

}





onLoop(){

}



onWeb(){

}

- replace "my application" with the title that you want to use.


Basically, you are defining the skeleton methods. The onStart() are commands that get executed when remedium starts up and instantiates your application. The onLoop() is called every two seconds, nice to check the status on something (read the documentation to see how it is used) and finally the onWeb() that is called every time a user opens up the application using the web browser or webget.

To log a message, you can write:

debug("Hello World");

To change the output, you can write:

output = "Hello World";

All of these things are covered in more detail at the documentation pdf. The sdk app is also empty and can be used as playground if you wish to make modifications.

Nothing happens. Please note that it is not the root URL. Can anyone please confirm whether this distribution of "remedium" is working for him/her as expected?
