Jboss & portal how to?

[wondog]

Hi, i am new in JBoss and portal, but i have experience with Tomcat.
I want to setup Portal with my JBoss

I have installed Jboss a i downloaded portal package.

i went through user guide for Portal,
i copied jboss-portal.sar dir and portal-mysql-ds.xml file to:
C:\Program Files\jboss-4.0.3SP1\server\default\deploy\

My Mysql is running and i create database jbossportal
i have also jdbc driver in jboss lib dir

portal-mysql-ds.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>PortalDS</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jbossportal</connection-url>
<driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>root</user-name>

</local-tx-datasource>


but when i try 1217.0.0.1:8080/portal

this is shown:
HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

message

description The requested resource () is not available.

what's wrong with my way?
or where is good tutorial for newbie?
thx

[wondog]

And one more thing - i restarted jboss after that

what does it mean?

[erikt]

I have the exact same problem. Out-of-the-box Jboss 4.0.4.CR2 with Jboss Portal 2.2.1.RC3

Deployment seems to be ok, but when trying to access /portal through my browser, I get a 404 and the above server exception.


/Erik

[erikt]

Hmm. I get the feeling that Jboss Portal doesn't work with Jboss 4.0.4 yet.



/Erik

[rali.genova]

Jboss 4.0.4RC1 does work with portal 2.2.1RC3, I noticed you put
1217.0.0.1:8080/portal as your portal URL - shouldn't it be
127.0.0.1:8080/portal (i.e. localhost:8080/portal)? Other than that I don't see another problem with your setup.

[erikt]

In my case, I access the correct URL (or at least the URL that the documentation says I should access...).

<http://localhost:8080/portal>

Fresh Jboss 4.0.4.CR2 (btw, shouldn't it be Release Candidate 2 and not Candidate Release 2 that the download page says?) and nothing else.

MySQL datasource is also correct and the database exist with correct user permissions and password (etc etc).



/Erik

[rali.genova]

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossProductVersioning explains the versioning schema for JBoss products, I will try to reproduce your error with CR2, since I am running RC1, but could you please examine your server.log and error.log files in JBOSS_HOME/server/default/log and post anything that seems related?

[erikt]

Well, there are no exceptions when starting Jboss and Portal seem to be deployed correctly. I have checked the logs pretty thoroughly and there are some WARN-level messages, but if I understand them correctly, they just indicate that Portal is using default settings.

Other than that, there's nothing. Except for the exception (which is the same as wondog posted above, that I get when trying to access the http://localhost:8080/portal URL.

(Regarding the versioning. Thanks for the pointer, but I must say that even that document is very confusing. I get that release candidates used to be called RC and that they now -- for some unknown reason -- are called CR. But then the document still uses "RC number" and "release candidate" when talking about the CR nomenclature. I don't really care, but it is just a bit confusing, especially for new users...)



/Erik

[rali.genova]

OK, I ran your setup - JBoss 4.0.4 CR2 with portal-2.2.1RC3 and it works perfectly. From the log posted above it seems there is a problem creating the default content? Maybe you should check the DB tables - I had to drop all of them and redeploy the portal, because I was using a different version of portal which created slightly different tables, and now all is well - up and running

[erikt]

Hmm. Ok. I hadn't dropped and re-created the database before actually. When I do that I see that I get and exception when deploying Portal:

23:31:14,877 INFO [SessionFactoryBinder] Creating database content

I am using MySQL 5.0.19 and MySQL Connector J/3.1.12.

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=AvoidMySQL5DataTruncationErrors

[erikt]

Yay! That was the problem. I'm not running MySQL 5 in strict mode (I think...), but I changed the datasource descriptor to:

<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jbossportal?useServerPrepStmts=false&jdbcCompliantTruncation=false</connection-url>

That did the trick.

Sorry for not mentioning that I was using MySQL 5.0.19 earlier.

Thank you so much for all the excellent help!


Cheers,
Erik
