This information applies to Edgent releases prior to 1.2.0. See Getting started guide for current releases.
The Getting started guide includes a step-by-step walkthrough of a simple Edgent application.
Edgent also includes a number of sample Java applications that demonstrate different ways that you can use and implement Edgent.
If you are using a released version of Edgent, the samples are already compiled and ready to use. If you downloaded the source or the Git project, the samples are built when you build Edgent.
The samples are currently available only for Java 8 environments. To use the samples, you'll need the resources in the following subdirectories of the Edgent package.:
java8/samples
directory contains the Java code for the samplesjava8/scripts
directory contains the shell scripts that you need to run the samplesIf you use any of the samples in your own applications, ensure that you include the related Edgent JAR files in your classpath
.
In addition to the sample application in the Getting started guide, the following samples can help you start developing with Edgent:
source -> filter -> transform -> sink
Additional samples are documented in the [Edgent Overview]({{ site.docsurl }}/overview-summary.html#overview.description) section of the Javadoc.
