- Create a ‘treehouse’ working directory on your
local hard drive.
- Extract treehouse.jar, cgjsapi.jar,
jaxb-impl.jar, jaxb-libs.jar, swingx.jar, x10.jar and the
cgjaspi162.dll files from treehouse.zip
to your <jdk1.x>/jre/lib directory
- Extract LicenseManager.exe, cginstaller.dll
and cginstaller.jar in your 'treehouse' working directory.
- Ensure all (r)equired files are located in your
<jdk1.x>/jre/lib directory:

Start-Up
To start TreeHouse as a Server, two parameters
are specified at the command line:
java -jar <jdk1.?>/jre/lib/treehouse.jar Server <port>
<path>
<port> - An even number between 1 and 65536 where
the rmi registry will listen for client connections.
Depending on your Operating System, this value may need to be greater than 1024.
The application will default the HTTP Server Port to <port>+1. (see
treehouse.properties to override)
<path> - The complete path to the working directory
for the application. (created in Step 1 above)
To start TreeHouse as a Client, four parameters
are specified at the command line:
java -jar <jdk1.?>/jre/lib/TreeHouse.jar Client <server
location> <client listening port> <path>
<server location> - is the server host and port
where the rmi registry (or the Server instance of TreeHouse)
is listening (on the same or a remote machine). The URL must be in the following
format: rmi://<host>:<port>
<host> can be in the format of a web address (www.imac.com)
or IP Address (134.563.22.45).
<client listening port> - The port where the client
will receive server notifications.
<path> - The complete path to the working directory
for the application.
Start-Up Options
-c Displays the
Application Log during run-time
-novoice Disables Voice Recognition/Text to
Speech Features
-nojmf Disables Audio Video Features
-nocs Disables Client Server Features
-notapi Disables Server-Side TAPI Features
-nosr Disables Speech Recognition Only
-noui
Disables User Interface at startup.
Files
tree<instance>.log - Application
Log File - Both instances of the application will create an application log file
in the working directory. This file is appended to each time the
application is re-started. When the application is started with the -c
option, the log file is displayed in a console window during run-time.
treehouse.properties - created by
the user. It contains platform specific class files for use by the application,
as well as overrides of command line specified <port> params:
AudioVideoHandler = JMFHandler #enables Video Capturing/Streaming capabilities
for Windows
VoiceHandler = CGVoiceHandler #enables Speech to Text/Speech Recognition
capabilities for Windows
TAPIHAndler = OCXamTapiHandler #enables TAPI capabilities for Windows
WaveHandler = OCXamWaveHandler #enables Telephony WAVE capability for Windows
rmiServerPort = <port> #overrides command line server port.
httpServerPort = <port> #overrides default http server port.
treehouse.stream - This file contains the state of all nodes
within the application. The file is re-created each time application data
is saved to disk. The default save interval is every 15 minutes.
This value can be changed by specifying 'saveInterval = <min>' in the properties
file. This file is encrypted when an Application Password is defined by
the user.
treehouse.store - This file contains encrypted evaluation and
registration keys.
treehouse.xml - This file is created each time application data is saved to
disk.
treehouse.html - This file is created each time application data
is saved to disk, when user has specified postHTML to web server (from Settings
Tab).
weatherXML.xml - This file is
created in 30 minute intervals and contains location specific weather
conditions.
weatherForecast.xml - This file is
created in 2 hour intervals and contains location specific weather forecasts
weatherLinks.xml - This file is
created in 12 hour intervals and contains location specific weather links.
