I'm unclear about how paths get resolved so I'm not sure where I should put my file. During development I put it in something like $DEV_DIR/cities/citynames. When I do a release, do I put it in src? If so, when I run file:open("cities/citynames", [read]) will it know where to look?

Yes this is an application. To start it from an Erlang shell you can simply write:

application:start(sasl).

 

SASL is the “System Architecture Support Layer” or something like that (I could be wrong on that second S). It gives applications logging support, alarm handlers, release handling, etc. It is usually started with every OTP application.

Is this an application? Can you give an example? Regards, Stephan Hi,

Very inforamtive series of articles you have going here. Thanks for that. I would really love to see some pointers, examples in the future installments, on how to integrate Java (using JInterface) with Erlybank e.g. write Java client. Thanks. Mitchell.
