I would like to find out which is the best way o initialize the turbine on tomcat start up?
Is is possible to fix this problem just with configuration options? Or should I write some code?
Hello,
i do not fully understand what you want to archieve. Just in case you want to get started you should follow this little HowTo from Jeffery which he posted a few days ago. It helped me alot btw ;)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# build.properties - for META
# #
# Application Server configuration
#
maven.appserver.home = <directory_for_appserver_home>
maven.appserver.name = tomcat #
# app config
#
turbine.app.name = <appname>
turbine.app.flavor=turbine-2.3.1 #
# create the om layer interfaces for torque
#
turbine.app.om.layer=torque #
# don't create demo pages
#
turbine.app.setup.demo=false #
# Inplace dev mode
#
turbine.plugin.mode=inplace #
# Initial ID values for the ID_TABLE
#
initialID = 1100
initialIDValue = 100
initialIDStep = 10 #
# database settings
#
torque.database=mysql
torque.database.driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
torque.database.user = myuser
torque.database.password = mypassword
torque.database.buildUrl = jdbc:mysql://localhost/<appname>
torque.database.createUrl = jdbc:mysql://localhost/<appname>----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. change to the webapps directory of your servlet container. 3. Create the skeleton for the app
% maven -Dturbine.setup.properties=~/build.properties turbine:setup
4. change into your webapps/<newapp> directory
5. modify the <appname>-schema.xml accordingly (found in src/schema/<appname>-schema.xml)
6. Create SQL (all commands run from webapps/<appname> directory
1. create the database
% maven torque:create-db 2. generate SQL code
% maven turbine:sql 3. put SQL in database
% maven torque:insert-sql7. Compile your application
% maven java:compile
no need to deploy since we are inplace development mode

What he was missing tho is to get tomcat working with it. So the 8th step would be:
8. Start tomcat. Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/manager/html
Login with the password you set during installation of tomcat and use the 'Installation' form on that site (It's the one with the 3 input fields)
I got it in german so i'm not sure what the actual translation is.
The first field (context path) would be: /<newapp>
The second field leave empty. And in the third field you need to put the path to your webapp root folder. It needs to look like this:
file:C:/path/to/your/webapplication
Note: You need to prepend 'file:' and you have to use forward slashes. If you did everything fine tomcat should find the 'WEB-INF' folder below the specified folder automatically and you should be ready to go.
Just in case you didn't got it, the URL to your webapp is: http://localhost:8080/<webapp>
9. Here is an optional 9th step you'd like to take.
Find the following file:
<tomcat root>\conf\Catalina\localhost\<appname>.xml
open it in editor and add reloadable="true" to the <context> tag as an attribute like this:
<Context path="/..." docBase="..." reloadable="true">
That way you can just compile the classes in your favourite IDE and don't need to worry about restarting tomcat.
Just incase this is crap for the old stagers *g* ignore it. Helped me alot anyway because something like that is really missing on the page...
