Policy-based Resilience Simulator with OMNeT++/ReaSE and XML-RPC
Now that you have INET framework up and running, you are ready to build ReaSE and install XML-RPC
Download ReaSE (ID #29) and Example Topologies (ID #21) for ReaSE.
Building ReaSE
editUnpack the .tar.gz file to omnetpp folder in Home.
In OMNeT++ IDE, go to File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace
. Choose the ReaSE parent directory (situated in /home/<your_user_name>/omnetpp-4.1/ ) as root directory and click finish.
Now, right click on ReaSE folder shown in Project Explorer, Click Properties > Project References
. Uncheck "INET" and check "inet". Press Ctrl+B
or Project > Build All
to build ReaSE.
ReaSE should compile without any errors now. If they show some errors regarding Makefile
, just go to ReaSE directory, delete the Makefiles
in the parent directory and ReaSE/src
directory. Now go back to the IDE, right click ReaSE in Project Explorer, click Refresh. Press Ctrl+B
or Project > Build All
to build ReaSE.
Testing ReaSE build
editUnpack the Examples Topologies and copy the "Topologies" folder to ReaSE folder. Now, go to Run > Run Configuration
. Create a new configuration under OMNeT++ Simulation, set working directory as the simulation you want to run- topo_tiny
or topo_small
or topo_router
situated in "Topologies" directory under ReaSE. Now, set Executable as ReaSE/src/rease
. Ini file should automatically be selected as omnetpp.ini
located in the simulation directory. Now change Config name to General:inet
and click run. The simulation should run now if ReaSE compiled without any error.
Installing XML-RPC
editInstall XML-RPC library, (package is named libxmlrpc-c++-dev
or so, and is different in different distros, you can try searching for it in your cache).
Configuring ReaSE
edit- Once XML-RPC is installed, in OMNeT++'s IDE, select ReaSE/src folder in Project Explorer and go to:
Project > Properties > OMNeT++ > Makemake > src > Options > Preview
Right after
–deep -o rease -O out -pREASE
and BEFORE
–meta:auto-include-path –meta:use-exported-libs
include the following libraries:
-lxmlrpc_server_abyss++ -lxmlrpc_server++ -lxmlrpc_server_abyss -lxmlrpc_server -lxmlrpc_abyss -lpthread -lxmlrpc++ -lxmlrpc -lxmlrpc_util -lxmlrpc_xmlparse -lxmlrpc_xmltok
It will look something like
--deep -o rease -O out -pREASE -lxmlrpc_server_abyss++ -lxmlrpc_server++ -lxmlrpc_server_abyss -lxmlrpc_server -lxmlrpc_abyss -lpthread -lxmlrpc++ -lxmlrpc -lxmlrpc_util -lxmlrpc_xmlparse -lxmlrpc_xmltok --meta:auto-include-path –meta:use-exported-lib
Testing XML-RPC install
editTry running one of the ReaSE simulations again-if it launches successfully, that means your XML-RPC install is correct- ReaSE automatically invokes XML-RPC on startup, and the simulation won't run if there is some error with XML-RPC install. Otherwise, check the console output to see if the error is caused by XML-RPC - if so, mostly the error is cause because you installed a wrong xml-rpc package - try Googling for xml-rpc with your distro name (like "linux mint xml-rpc") for exact package name.
