Why would I want to run outside of JAS3 ?

While it is more convenient to do the analysis inside of JAS3 in most cases, there are cases where running without a graphical user interface is desirable. Running a complex analysis on a batch farm would be an example of such a case.
In order to perform the analysis outside of JAS3, a small wrapper is needed, that takes care of loading the file, writing the output and adding all necessary Drivers. When running this wrapper you will have to make sure that your CLASSPATH environment variable is set correctly

We present two examples of wrapper classes here:

• A Java wrapper that can be used to load your existing modules
• A Jython wrapper that can be used to load your existing Java modules as well as modules written in Jython that you may have

Using the Java wrapper

Anchor
javaWrapper javaWrapper

Please save MainLoop.java, Analysis101.java and psiMuMu.slcio to your harddisk. psiMuMu.slcio is a small datasample, Analysis101.java is our analysis module, which is taken straight from the JAS3 examples, and MainLoop.java is the wrapper that takes care of loading the analysis module correctly.
After compiling the java files with

javac Analysis101.java
javac MainLoop.java

you can start the program with

java MainLoop

which will loop over the data sample and create a file exampleAnalysisJava.aida

loop.add(new Analysis101())

Using the Jython wrapper

Anchor
jythonWrapper jythonWrapper

Please save mainLoop.py, Analysis101.java, Analysis102.py and psiMuMu.slcio to your harddisk. psiMuMu.slcio is a small datasample, Analysis101.java is our analysis module, which is taken straight from the JAS3 examples, Analysis102.py is a slightly modified Jython version of the Java module and mainLoop.py is the wrapper that takes care of loading the analysis module correctly.
After compiling the java file with

javac Analysis101.java

you can start the program with

jython mainLoop.py

which will loop over the data sample and create a file exampleAnalysis.aida. Please note that this file contains both the output from the Java module and the output from the Jython module.

loop.add(Analysis101())
loop.add(Analysis102())

import MyJavaAanalysisModule

from MyJythonModuleName import MyJythonClassName

Executing Jython modules in Jas3

Unfortunately, you cannot load the Jython modules in Jas3 as easily as a Java module. However, you can simply load mainLoop.py and add your modules there. Choose 'Run' from the context menu. This will open a Jython console. Type main() to start the event loop.
