Mapping an application in vehicles from the mapping_config.json file without using ["applications": "org.eclipse.mosaic.app.tutorial.cam.CamSendingApp"]

[Jean-Tshibangu-jtm]

Hello,

I took the Java code from the CAM message application example, and generated a jar file with maven. And I put the jar file in the application folder of the scenario.

I share with you my mapping_config.json file :

{
"prototypes": [
{
"name": "tkrauss",
"vehicleClass": "ElectricVehicle",
"accel": 2.6,
"decel": 4.5,
"emergencyDecel": 6.0,
"length": 5.00,
"maxSpeed": 70.0,
"minGap": 2.5,
"sigma": 0.5,
"tau": 1,
"speedFactor": 1.0,
"speedMode": "DEFAULT",
"laneChangeMode": "DEFAULT",
"deviations":
{
"speedFactor": 0.0,
"length": 0.0,
"minGap": 0.0,
"maxSpeed": 0.0,
"accel": 0.0,
"decel": 0.0,
"tau": 0.0
},
"applications": ["org.eclipse.mosaic.app.tutorial.cam.CamSendingApp"],
"weight": 0.7
},
{
"name": "RSU",
"applications": ["org.eclipse.mosaic.app.tutorial.RoadSideUnitApp"]
}

],

"servers": [
{
"name": "WeatherServer",
"group": "WeatherServer",
"applications": [ "org.eclipse.mosaic.app.tutorial.WeatherServerApp" ]
}

],

"rsus": [
{
"name": "RSU",
"position": {
"latitude": 48.827350,
"longitude": 1.954738
}
},
{
"name": "RSU",
"position": {
"latitude": 48.834734,
"longitude": 1.957318
}
}
]
}

Questions:

1. How do I map my application to vehicles from mapping_config.json without using
   ["applications": "org.eclipse.mosaic.app.tutorial.cam.CamSendingApp"],

2. Follow this link https://eclipse.dev/mosaic/docs/simulators/application_simulator/,
   How to configure the file ( your_application_config.json);

Dear @Jean-Tshibangu-jtm,
sorry for getting back so late, we were busy/out of office during the holidays.
Regarding your questions:

1. you can also add a list of applications into your defined prototypes in the same manner, by adding a the respective list "applications": ["your.app.Class"]. However, you are bound to the mapping_config.json.
2. https://github.com/eclipse/mosaic/tree/main/app/tutorials/example-applications/src/main/java/org/eclipse/mosaic/app/tutorial/configurableapp - here you can find an example application that extends ConfigurableApplication. Your own apps would also have to extend ConfigurableApplication to access this functionality

I hope this helps you, feel free to further extend your questions.
