Hi guys,
IÂm in need of your help.
IÂm currently doing a project involving a slightly adapted version of
program d running in conjunction with a second java application which is
used to retrieve information from the internet and relay that info to the
bot. What I want is to deploy the combined system on a web server so that
people can go and chat to the bot and I also need to be able to access the
conversation logs so that I can do some analysis on them.
What I want to know is what is the best way to go about this? I have already
tried using pandorabots to host the bot, but it appears that I canÂt alter
some of the configuration files (in particular the predicates.xml that is in
the conf folder in program d binary) that I am going to need to change.
So I assume I will need my own webserver (or host server) to get the system
running. What I would like to know is would it be easiest to just upload the
already compiled web version of program d (downloaded from aitools.org and
including a WAR file and a couple of other folders) straight onto a server?
If I went about it this way I would also upload my own information-retrieval
application as a second war file on the server (is this possible?) and have
the two running side-by-side on the server. I would use the <system> tag of
AIML (or <javascript>?) to transfer information between the two when needed.
Is this feasible/efficient as a way of deploying the system? Or would it be
easier to integrate the source code of program D and my Java app into one
and then upload just the one WAR file?
Also would I need to use a database to store conversation logs? I assumed so
but found that my binary non-web version of program D seems to save logs
anyway in the var/programd folderÂ
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Joe
