a question on jBPM 5.1 Guvnor Oracle Repository configuration

[byungwoojun]

I am trying to use Oracle as the Guvnor repository, instead of using DERBY or a local file system, on Unix, and have the following error:

I put the repository.xml on the JEE application server (WebLogic) root directory. The same configuration worked on Windows, but it does not work on Unix. Has anyone had experience with a similar configuration (jBPM 5.1 Guvnor on Unix using Oracle) and had any success with making it work?

Thanks,

If you explode the guvnor war and edit $guvnor.war/WEB-INF/lib/components.xml you can edit the location where jackrabbit is expecting the repository config:

<property name="properties">

          <key>org.drools.repository.configurator</key><value>org.drools.repository.jackrabbit.JackrabbitRepositoryConfigurator</value>

          <!--  the root directory for the repo storage the directory must exist. -->

          <!--  <key>repository.root.directory</key><value>/opt/yourpath</value>  -->

</property>

You also need the right db driver jars in the AS/lib directory and can generate the repository.xml file in Guvnor (Administration->Repository Configuration).

Let us know how you have set it all up so far so we could help more.
