    Setting up JBoss database for deployment

    hattifnat

      Hello!
      As a fresh Jboss user I came to a problem that is basic probably for most of you, but I cannot find a solution anywhere.
      I am using jBPM-starters kit 3.1.4 and working in Eclipse with the JBoss plugin.
      I try to create two processes, where one is nested in another as a subflow. The very simplified version of the problem is such:
      Super-process:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      
      <process-definition
       xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="Super">
       <start-state name="start">
       <transition name="" to="process1"></transition>
       </start-state>
       <process-state name="process1">
       <sub-process name="Sub" />
       <transition name="" to="end1"></transition>
       </process-state>
       <end-state name="end1"></end-state>
      </process-definition>


      Sub-process:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      
      <process-definition
       xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="Sub">
       <start-state name="start">
       <transition name="" to="end1"></transition>
       </start-state>
       <end-state name="end1"></end-state>
      </process-definition>


      Then I try to run the super-process in a way suggested in this thread:
      http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=93504

      public class Test {
      
       public static void main(String[] args) {
      
       JbpmContext context = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance()
       .createJbpmContext();
      
       try {
       FileInputStream fis_super = new FileInputStream(
       "/path/Eclipse/workspace/SubflowTest/src/main/Super/processdefinition.xml");
       FileInputStream fis_sub = new FileInputStream(
       "/path/Eclipse/workspace/SubflowTest/src/main/Sub/processdefinition.xml");
      
       ProcessDefinition pdload_sub = ProcessDefinition
       .parseXmlInputStream(fis_sub);
       context.deployProcessDefinition(pdload_sub);
      
       ProcessDefinition pdload_super = ProcessDefinition
       .parseXmlInputStream(fis_super);
       context.deployProcessDefinition(pdload_super);
      
       GraphSession gs_caller = context.getGraphSession();
      
       // don't think I necessarily need to reload the process definitions
       // from the session but it doesn't make a difference
       ProcessDefinition pd_sub = gs_caller
       .findLatestProcessDefinition("Sub");
       ProcessDefinition pd_super = gs_caller
       .findLatestProcessDefinition("Super");
      
       ProcessInstance inst = new ProcessInstance(pd_super);
      
       // begin
       Token token = inst.getRootToken();
       ContextInstance contextInst = (ContextInstance) inst
       .getInstance(ContextInstance.class);
      
       System.out.println("getNode().getName(): "
       + token.getNode().getName());
      
       token.signal();
       System.out.println("getNode().getName(): "
       + token.getNode().getName());
       } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       } finally {
       context.close();
       }
       }
      }


      The result of the execution is the well known "table JBPM_PROCESSDEFINITION not found" error (exactly:

      (I trimmed the log)
      So one thing I understood from what I read in the forum and in the Internet - i have to set up the Hibernate database and create a table JBPM_PROCESSDEFINITION. But I couldn't find a hint on how to to it. Can it be done programatticaly? Or how should I do it in any other way (preferably nice and easy :P)?

          if you read the documentation, you'll see that:
          - you have to point jbpm to a database in the hibernate config file (hibernate is no database!!) either by configuring a database directly or by pointing to a datasource.
          - jbpm (hibernate) will create the tables if they do not exist

            Thanks a lot - now I understand how it should work and what is happening here. But the current state is such:
            I started the JBoss server, so I presume I have the Hypersonic database running (my web browser jmx console shows it as StateString: Running).
            I should link the hypersonic.cfg.xml to this database.
            I can see that DatabasePath of the HypersonicDB is "/usr/local/jbpm-starters-kit-3.1.4/jbpm-server/server/jbpm/data/hypersonic/localDB". I should point the cfg file to this path.
            I open the default src/main/config/hibernate.cfg.xml file from the project which contains such entries:

            <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
             <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.;sql.enforce_strict_size=true</property>
             <property name="hibernate.connection.username">sa</property>
             <property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>
            
             <property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider</property>
            

            As much as I understand the crucial is the entry
            <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.;sql.enforce_strict_size=true</property>
            

            So try to put there "jdbc:hsqldb:/usr/local/jbpm-starters-kit-3.1.4/jbpm-server/server/jbpm/data/hypersonic/localDB"
            but this doesn't work...
            I'm sure I still don't quite understand how this database should be linked. Could someone explain it to me? Am I going the right way at all? Thanks for any help :)

              Alright, I did one more thing - in HSQL Database Manager from jmx console I did File > Connect with default settings - which are exactly the same as the defaults in hibernate.cfg.xml (password, user, driver and URL - jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.). I restored the default cfg file, so now I have

              <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.;sql.enforce_strict_size=true</property>

              back. But it still doesn't work. What am I missing now?

                Doh.. that was more stupid than I could think ;( I simply was editing a hibernate.cfg.xml file from another project... Anyway, for future generations - the "jdbc:hsqldb:/usr/local/jbpm-starters-kit-3.1.4/jbpm-server/server/jbpm/data/hypersonic/localDB" is working fine.
