Ada Web Application is a framework to build a Web Application in Ada 2012.

The framework provides several ready to use and extendable modules that are common

to many web application.  This includes the login, authentication, users, permissions,

managing comments, tags, votes, documents, images.  It provides a complete blog,

question and answers and a wiki module.



AWA simplifies the Web Application development by taking care of user management with

Google+, Facebook authentication and by providing the foundations on top of which you

can construct your own application.  AWA provides a powerful permission management

that gives flexibility to applications to grant access and protect your user's resources.



![AWA Features](https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-awa/wiki/images/awa-features.png)



AWA integrates the following projects:



* Ada Server Faces (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-asf)

* Ada Servlet   (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-servlet)

* OpenAPI Ada   (https://github.com/stcarrez/swagger-ada)

* ADO           (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-ado)

* Ada Util      (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-util)

* Ada Wiki      (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-wiki)

* Ada EL        (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-el)

* Ada Security  (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-security)

* Ada Keystore  (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-keystore)

* Ada LZMA      (https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-lzma)

* Dynamo        (https://github.com/stcarrez/dynamo)



These projects are distributed under the Apache License 2.0 or MIT license for Ada LZMA.



AWA relies on the following external projects:



* AWS      (https://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/aws/)

* XMLAda   (https://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/xmlada/)



These projects are provided as tarball in 'external' directory.

They are distributed under different licenses (GNU GPL).



The AWA framework integrates a set unit tests and provides a framework

to build unit tests for AWA applications.   The unit tests are based on

Ada Util test framework which itself is built on top of the excellent

Ahven test framework (Ahven sources is integrated in Ada Util).

You may get Ahven or Aunit at:



* Ahven    (http://ahven.stronglytyped.org/)

* AUnit    (https://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/aunit/)

# Using git



The AWA framework uses git submodules to integrate several other

projects.  To get all the sources, use the following commands:

```

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-awa.git

   cd ada-awa

```



# Development Host Installation



The PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite development headers and runtime are necessary

for building the Ada Database Objects driver.  The configure script will use

them to enable the ADO drivers. The configure script will fail if it does not

find any database driver.



## Ubuntu



First to get the LZMA and CURL support, it is necessary to install the following

packages before configuring AWA:



```

sudo apt-get install unzip liblzma-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

```



MySQL Development installation:

```

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

```



MariaDB Development installation:

```

sudo apt-get install mariadb-client libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev

```



SQLite Development installation:

```

sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev

```



PostgreSQL Development installation:

```

sudo apt-get install postgresql-client libpq-dev

```



## FreeBSD 13



First to get the LZMA, XML/Ada and CURL support, it is necessary

to install the following packages before configuring AWA:



```

pkg install gnat12 gprbuild lzma curl-7.87.0 xmlada

```



MariaDB Development installation:

```

pkg install mariadb106-client mariadb106-client-10.4.7 mariadb106-server-10.6.11

```



SQLite Development installation:

```

pkg install sqlite3

```



PostgreSQL Development installation:

```

pkg install postgresql15-client-15.1 postgresql15-server-15.1_1

```



## Windows



It is recommended to use msys2 available at https://www.msys2.org/

and use the `pacman` command to install the required packages.



```

pacman -S git

pacman -S make

pacman -S unzip

pacman -S base-devel --needed

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-sqlite3

```



For Windows, the installation is a little bit more complex and manual.

You may either download the files from MySQL and SQLite download sites

or you may use the files provided by Ada Database Objects and

Ada LZMA in the `win32` directory.



For Windows 32-bit, extract the files:



```

cd ada-ado/win32 && unzip sqlite-dll-win32-x86-3290000.zip

cd ada-lzma/win32 && unzip liblzma-win32-x86-5.2.4.zip

```



For Windows 64-bit, extract the files:



```

cd ada-ado/win32 && unzip sqlite-dll-win64-x64-3290000.zip

cd ada-lzma/win32 && unzip liblzma-win64-x64-5.2.4.zip

```



If your GNAT 2019 compiler is installed in `C:/GNAT/2019`, you may

install the liblzma, MySQL and SQLite libraries by using msys cp with:



```

cp ada-lzma/win32/*.dll C:/GNAT/2021/bin

cp ada-lzma/win32/*.dll C:/GNAT/2021/lib

cp ada-lzma/win32/*.a C:/GNAT/2021/lib

cp ada-ado/win32/*.dll C:/GNAT/2021/bin

cp ada-ado/win32/*.dll C:/GNAT/2021/lib

cp ada-ado/win32/*.lib C:/GNAT/2021/lib

cp ada-ado/win32/*.a C:/GNAT/2021/lib

```



## Ada Web Server



The [Ada Web Server](https://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/aws/) should be compiled with the

SSL support if you want to use the [OAuth 2.0](https://oauth.net/2/) protocol and integrate

with Google, GitHub and GitLab authentication systems.  The AWS version shipped with GNAT 2021

will not work because it does not support SSL.



You may build AWS by using:



```

   git clone --recursive -b 20.2 https://github.com/AdaCore/aws

   cd aws

   make SOCKET=openssl setup build install

```



# Building AWA



The framework uses the `configure` script to detect the build environment.

In most cases you will configure, build and install with the following commands:

```

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

   make

   make install

```



# Next steps



Once you have built and installed the Ada Web Application framework,

you can use the `dynamo` command to create your first project by using

the `create-project` command:



```

dynamo create-project -l apache atlas [email protected]

```



Have a look at the [Dynamo(1)](https://github.com/stcarrez/dynamo/wiki/Dynamo)

documentation for the detail of the `dynamo` command options.



Then, configure and build the project by using:



```

cd atlas

./configure

make generate build

```



At this step, you will get the binary server in `bin/atlas-server` and you can launch

it with:



```

./bin/atlas-server setup

```



The generated binary server provides several commands that you can use.

The list of commands and their options is described in:

[command (1)](https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-awa/blob/master/awa/docs/command.md).



Follow the Tutorial section and the

[Ada Web Application programmer's guide](https://ada-awa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

to proceed to the next development steps.



# Docker



A docker container is available for those who want to try AWA without installing

and building all required packages

(See [Ada Web Application on Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/ciceron/ada-awa/).

To use the AWA docker container you can

run the following commands:



```

   sudo docker pull ciceron/ada-awa

```



# Documentation



The Ada Web Application programmer's guide describes how to setup the framework,

how you can setup and design your first web application with it,

and it provides detailed description of AWA components:
