Running a Joule from the CLI

---

Joule ships with a Command Line Interface (CLI) for running your Joule project. To use the CLI your workflow generally looks like this:

1. Define your use case using the Joule DSL

2. Develop custom components within an IDE and test them locally, if required

3. Define the required data sources and sinks using Joule DSL

4. Run your use case from the command line

Example

java -cp "./lib/*" com.fractalworks.streams.joule.JouleCLI \
         -s eventSource.yaml \
         -e usecase.yaml \
         -p publishSinks.yaml

Command line arguments

The CLI has a few command line arguments to run the Joule process.

Required

• -s or --source for data source file

• -u or --usecase for stream processing use case file

• -p or --publish for event sinks file

Optional

• -c or --config for custom Joule process configuration file

• -r or --refdata for reference data sources file

Alternatively

Use the provided scripts within the example projects copy them to your project environment. See use cases running examples documentation.

Start Joule

Start up the Joule process. Joule will use the conf/app.env configuration as its executing use case.

./bin/startJoule.sh

Start Quote generator

By starting the quote simulator events will be published to Kafka ready for Joule to consume and process

./bin/startQuotePublisher.sh

Shutting down processes

To stop the running processes just execute the below under the directory of which you started the processes

/bin/stopQuotePublisher.sh
/bin/stopJoule.sh

Clean up environment

Once you have run the example and viewed the results you can cleanup the environment by running the below script.

./bin/cleanup.sh

Prerequisites

• OpenJDK 19+ to run the platform

• To develop components read the setting up environment document for detailed requirements.

Within the example repository, we have provided a bash script for additional functionality. Check the README.MD for further information
