Problem using rapidMiner as a library

Legacy User

Hi,

Following the user manual, I tried to integrate rapidminer into my java application with following codes:

System.setProperty(RapidMiner.PROPERTY_RAPIDMINER_HOME, "D:/eclipse3.4m7/workspace/yale");
RapidMiner.init(false, false, false, false);

I got an error telling me "can't find operators.xml" at last, however it seemed the core operators had been already read successfully, so what did it mean?


Regards,
Hao

Hi i am new to rapid miner.I am trying to create a java code in order to carry to this process.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<process version="4.4">

 <operator name="Root" class="Process" breakpoints="after" expanded="yes">
     <parameter key="logverbosity" value="init"/>
     <parameter key="random_seed" value="2001"/>
     <parameter key="encoding" value="SYSTEM"/>
     <operator name="ArffExampleSource" class="ArffExampleSource" breakpoints="after">
         <parameter key="data_file" value="C:\Documents and Settings\282639\Desktop\data\dec_linear_test_2007.arff"/>
         <parameter key="label_attribute" value="Quantity"/>
         <parameter key="datamanagement" value="double_array"/>
         <parameter key="decimal_point_character" value="."/>
         <parameter key="sample_ratio" value="1.0"/>
         <parameter key="sample_size" value="-1"/>
         <parameter key="local_random_seed" value="-1"/>
     </operator>
     <operator name="ModelLoader" class="ModelLoader" breakpoints="after">
         <parameter key="model_file" value="C:\Documents and Settings\282639\Desktop\inc.mod"/>
     </operator>
     <operator name="ModelApplier" class="ModelApplier" breakpoints="after">
         <parameter key="keep_model" value="true"/>
         <list key="application_parameters">
         </list>
         <parameter key="create_view" value="true"/>
     </operator>
     <operator name="DatabaseExampleSetWriter" class="DatabaseExampleSetWriter" breakpoints="after">
         <parameter key="database_system" value="MySQL"/>
         <parameter key="database_url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"/>
         <parameter key="username" value="root"/>
         <parameter key="table_name" value="rapid_miner"/>
         <parameter key="overwrite_mode" value="overwrite"/>
         <parameter key="set_default_varchar_length" value="true"/>
         <parameter key="default_varchar_length" value="128"/>
     </operator>
 </operator>

</process>

so i start coding something like this:

public RapidMinerLoader(File modelFile, File inputFile) throws IOException, OperatorCreationException, Exception {

       String pluginDirString =  new File("D:\\RapidMiner\\lib\\plugins").getAbsolutePath();
       System.setProperty(RapidMiner.PROPERTY_RAPIDMINER_INIT_PLUGINS_LOCATION,  pluginDirString);
       System.setProperty("rapidminer.home","D:\\RapidMiner");
        RapidMiner.init();

               
   Operator operator1 = OperatorService.createOperator("ArffExampleSource");
           operator1.setParameter("data_file","C:\\Documents and Settings\\282639\\Desktop\\test_file.arff");
           
   Operator operator2 = OperatorService.createOperator("ModelLoader");
           operator2.setParameter("model_file","C:\\Documents and Settings\\282639\\Desktop\\model.mod");
           
   modelApplier = OperatorService.createOperator("ModelApplier");

                            Operator modelLoader = OperatorService.createOperator("ModelLoader");
           modelLoader.setParameter("model_file", modelFile.getAbsolutePath());
           IOContainer container = modelLoader.apply(new IOContainer());
           model = container.get(Model.class);
                           
   Operator operator4 = OperatorService.createOperator("DatabaseExampleSetWriter");                              
   operator4.setParameter("database_url","jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test");
   operator4.setParameter("username","root");
   operator4.setParameter("table_name","rapid_miner");
   operator4.setParameter("overwrite_mode","overwrite");
               
}


If i include Rapidminer.init() then i get the following error:

otherwise i get the following error:

I have both rapidminer.jar and rapidminer-text-4.1.jar  set in my classpath as well as in my project properties.
I have also included operaters.xml in my code. I seriously dont know how to resolve this issue.Is there some specific folder structure that need to be maintained while including operators.xml or is there some other thing also that need to be done in order to make this piece of code work,or else is there some other way to obtain operators in java.Here are the details of my folder structure containg src and public_html folders.src has the packages , one of which cotains this class. public_html has the jsp's,operators.xml and web-inf (containing lib folder(for all libraries),web.xml and faces-config.xml).
Kindly help me resolve this issue , its very urgent.
Meenakshi.
