Install GateIn into existing JBoss AS

[kimba74]

Greetings GateIn Community,

I have a (probably newbie) question: Is there any documentation on how to install GateIn into an already existing JBoss AS 5.1.0? If yes, could somebody provide me with the link, cause I seem to be too blind to find it. If no, can anybody give me some information on if it is possible and how to go about it?

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Thats easy

Compile GateIn with Jboss AS 5 Target, From the packeged jboss move

jcip-annotations.jar in $JBOSS_HOME/server/INSTANCE/lib

Al gatein EAR and WAR files to $JBOSS_HOME/server/INSTANCE/deploy

$PACKAGE_HOME/default/conf/gatein to $JBOSS_HOME/server/INSTANCE/conf/gatein

For PostgreSQL you have to change a XML and adjust a new Datasource. Please also take a look inside $JBOSS_HOME/server/INSTANCE/conf/configuration.properties

Hi Darko,

Thanks for your quick response unfortunately I have done all that and even a bit more but I'm still facing problems running GateIn on a standard JBoss AS 5.1.0.

Here is what I did:

1. I copied all GateIn related WAR and EAR files from
   $GATEIN_HOME/server/default/deploy to $JBOSS_HOME/server/<INSTANCE>/deploy
2. I copied the jcip-annotations.jar from
   $GATEIN_HOME/server/default/lib to $JBOSS_HOME/server/<INSTANCE>/lib
3. I copied the GateIn 'gatein' configuration directory from
   $GATEIN_HOME/server/default/conf to $JBOSS_HOME/server/<INSTANCE>/conf
4. I added the line
   <SessionCookie path="/"/>
   to the file $JBOSS_HOME/server/<INSTANCE>/deploy/jbossweb.sar/ontext.xml
5. I added the block
   <init-param>
      <description>Portlet standard tlds</description>
      <param-name>tagLibJar2</param-name>
      <param-value>../../deploy/gatein.ear/lib/pc-portlet-2.1.1-GA.jar</param-value>
   </init-param>
   to the 'jsp' Servlet definition in $JBOSS_HOME/server/<INSTANCE>/deployers/jbossweb.deployer/web.xml

Changes 4 and 5 I got from the Source Code as the app-server platform packaging seems to make those changes. However, when I start up JBoss I experience the following Exception (which in turns leads to many follow-up exceptions):

ERROR [ContainerUtil] Cannot load property file /opt/jboss/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/gatein/deploy/gatein.ear/lib/exo.kernel.commons-2.2.2-GA.jar/conf/configuration.properties

The file does not exist but it doesn't exist in the bundled GateIn-JBoss installation either. The way I see it this file should be overriden by the configuration.properties file located in the conf/gatein directory of my server instance, correct? It doesn't seem get picked up though which leads me to the conclusion that I missed some configuration entry somewhere. For testing purposes I did move the configuration.properties file from the conf/gatein to the conf directory with the exact same result. Any suggestions or ideas on what I missed?

Thanks,

Kimba

I think you are just missing -Dexo.conf.dir.name=gatein when you start JBoss (can be put in run.conf[.bat]

[kimba74]

And the Oscar goes to...

Excellent! Thanks Thomas for your answer. Not sure how I could have missed that as I thought I examined the run.conf files but glad you noticed the missing configuration setting.

Thanks again,

Kimba

Hi Kimba/Thomas,

Greetings everyone,

I am new to Jboss and GateIn and it would be really great to get some help here. I have downloaded GateIn 3.2.0 packaged with Jboss AS 6.0.0-Final. Unzipped it on Linux. I've set all the env variables. But I am not sure how to configure gatein to use MySQL database correctly. These are the steps I have made:

1.Downloaded Mysql JDBC connector and copied the .jar file to the lib directory of JBOSS server.

2.Edited the configuration.properties of conf/gatein.

3.Created the database mygateindb_portal.

What am I missing. Need help.

Thanks in advance
