Lisa is implemented as Thunder out-of-process plugin. Can be run in a separate container draw.io Diagram
current git repo location : https://github.com/rdkcentral/LISA
...
Not everything of api full design has been implemented in LISA code so far. Focus has been mainly on Minimum Viable Product

TODO: Point to code where in resident UI of VA LISA is used (on RDK6.1 VA image)
LISA is an alternative to the Packager Thunder Plugin used to retrieve ipkg packages, see https://github.com/rdkcentral/rdkservices/blob/master/Packager/doc/PackagerPlugin.md
...
LISA provides logical tree/directory structure for its various type of data to store as visualized in diagram below.
The logical storages: [APPS] and [APPS_STORAGE] are configurable per platform as part of LISA thunder plugin config.
draw.io Diagram | ||||||||||||||||||||

files of App in App oci bundle are stored in [APPS] storage.
Paths:
Important, LISA's sqlite database of Apps and metadata can be located there eg : [APPS]/dac/db/{epoch}/apps.db
Apps persistent storage is located in [APPS_STORAGE].
Paths:
Apps' persistent storage: [APPS_STORAGE]/dac/{epoch}/{id}/
Epoch indicator {epoch} is used for easy invalidation of not supported or revoked format of apps on fundamental changes. May also be used for the antirollback (db authentication - TBD?)
LISA is able to handle the following data:
Before implementation, at the design stage, the following API in json schema has been defined LISA API .
In later design phase additional lock/unlock api allowing external application manager to signal LISA that a specific app from LISA database is in active use by End user and hence should not be deleted/upgraded at this moment, see description in LISA API Extension (Locking mechanism)#APISchema
Actual Thunder interface definition/api is in defined in dual COM RPC / JSON- RPC interface in https://github.com/rdkcentral/ThunderInterfaces/blob/R2/interfaces/ILISA.h with annotations to automatically autogenerate* the JSON RPC api at build time
In section below we provide more explanation with the API methods.
API is to be exposed in JSON-RPC over WebSocket like other JSON-RPC thunder services
For mat is of style :
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":{id},"method":"com.lgi.dac.lisa.1.methodName", "params":{payload}} |
{id} - An identifier established by the Client that MUST contain a String, Number, or NULL value if included. If it is not included it is assumed to be a notification.
{payload} - A Structured value that holds the parameter values to be used during the invocation of the method. This member MAY be omitted.
In many of below methods you need to enter "type" <string> of application you want do the method operation for. The only use case we defined for now is installing DAC apps, for that use type as defined in ASMS environment you are working against (that is what resident UI will do). in RDK ASMS instance this is "application/dac.native". (Note that in LG ASMS OneMW instance type "application/vnd.rdk-app.dac.native" is used for DAC apps)
Download the application bundle tarball from the given URL, unpack files to dedicated directory, create the db entries and persistent storage on success. Asynchronous operation, handle should be used for tracking the request. The id of an app is unique within the database. That means only one kind of (mime)type can be combined and saved with a specific app id.
Request payload: {"type":"<string>", "id":"<string>", "version":"<string>", "url":"<string>", "appName":"<string>", "category":"<string>"}
As per above comment "type" in RDKM environment will be "application/dac.native"
Result payload: {"handle":"<string>"}

Note:
The 2 tables in the db schema (apps and installed_apps) are required to be able to correctly handle the case when the application is uninstalled, deleted because of corruption, deleted because of storage capacity issue, or not installed locally (launched from the cloud) but operator or user wants to keep persistent storage of given application intact (for later usage). In this case, an entry in apps table keeps tracking the persistent storage without introducing any other dirty hacks. This approach will also be useful for managing remote applications, for which we don't need to maintain the application's locally downloaded files, but persistent storage might be needed.
