OTTB means you have not modified anything on which ever version you use.
by default the DB that will be created is derby.
for your experimentation, for inducing the entities this sufficient and
less confusing.
once you have done the
./ant run-install
then will have demo data in the derby DB and will not get any start up
errors.
add your data source you created "mysql".
then go to the induce link and it should work, using
mysql as the data source

When your say OTTB ( as in Out of the box) are you referring to any trunk
version number for ofbiz?
Also in your instruction below are you saying to add the datasource after
running ant run-install? I believe that run-install would run DBUtil code so
wont be need to declare datasources before running ant run-install?
Regardless I am not able to connect to the DB. IS there a special jar file for
mysql driver for ofbiz?

all my instructions are based on
1) OTTB ofbiz
2) ./ant run-install was completed successfully
then you add your datasource.

I already tried that it gives Null pointer exception. I created an empty
database Ofbiz with ofbiz/ofbiz as credentials and used the normal localmysql
that came in original file, it still gives NullPointer Exception. For some
reason at startup the DBUTIL is not getting the connnectionURL paparmeter read
from the entity-engine-xml file and hence it gives NullPounter on this paramter.
Is this somehting that is fixed in other release. I tried this on 10.4 as well
and got same NullpointerException and in debug the connection URL is not
getting read from the xml file. What else could be wrong? Any other
suggestions. I am willing to try everything to get this working. Worst Case I
would be hardcoding but then it would create problem with localderby as it
needs to be read. Can localderby be copied to mysql?

I would suggest you return the entityengine.xml back to its original
configuration, add your mysql datasource as the only modification to the
file and try it again.

Hello Santosh
The IllegalArgument exception went away after I put in a tenatant group name
for localderby as show below. However Now I am getting Null Pointer Exception
GenericDAO.induceModelFromDB() calls DatabaseUtil.induceModelFromDB(). In
DatabaseUtil.induceModelFromDB() method, there is a line of code
this.getTableNames() which is comming out tobe null? ANy idea why?Also the
DBUTIL class is getting NULL value for connectionURL paramter and the dirveName
parameter is also coming out to be null.
Why is that? Hence th Nullpointer. I would imagine that this is read from the
helperName=localMysql which is howing correctly in debug variable list. AM I
missing anything here?
Coudl you advise further as you seem to know about this?

*Hello Kapil,
*Update your code, you are having two entries of same name it must look like
<delegator name="default" entity-model-reader="main"
entity-group-reader="main" entity-eca-reader="main"
distributed-cache-clear-enabled="false">
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz" datasource-name="mysql"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.olap"
datasource-name="localderbyolap"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.tenant"
datasource-name="ocalderbytenant"/>
</delegator>
now create database and execute commands for "clean-all" and "run-install"
Its done now.
*
Yours,
Santosh Singh.*

Does that mean that I dont need to associate a datsource I create with a
delagator ? As in the datasource entry need not have a group associated
with it? or a delagator associated with it?

you did add more than the datasource
you make it default delegator.
this will cause the database to be updated with ofbiz schema

Yes I created only the datasource by putting an entry in the
entity-engine.xml file. I did not create anything else and intentionally put
it in default delegator. Still I am not ale to Induce. IT says unrecognised
datasource. I also get Null Pointer exception for localmysql datasource
whose entry is already in there. DO I need to do anything else?
Do I need to do ant run-install, restart before hitting induce?

I actually did use mysql as the datasource and tried using the link
below by putting in the datasource name in the text box and clicking on
Induce. For existing datasources name such as localmysql or localderby, I
got a NullPointer Exception.
For the one that I had an new entry witin the default delegator, I got
" unrecognized datasource" name sort of message. Do I need to create a new
entity-group.xml file for the datasource mysql I created below even if I am
using a default delagator similar to the data-source localmysql? Does it
need to be having group name org.ofbiz or something else within the
delegator tag?

I am trying to create a entities within OFbiz out of an existing
schema in production. Not sure if this is the best way to create entties out
of an existing schema. Suggestions are welcomed!!
I tried to add a datasource tag in default delegator in
entity-engine.xml
Followed the instructions on
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Handling+of+External+data
Would like to know where I am going wrong. On restart, I realised
that ofbiz does not finish to the point that I can get webtools or even
login for ecommerce. IT has just stuck at soem point saying
ServiceDispatcher.java 584 INFO Sync service..
There is no exception or anything but OFbiz does not go further with
complete laoding. Anything I am doing wrong?
Being a default delegaotr, there was no special entity-group.xml
file in the ofbiz 9_04 code base. Hence I did not bother to create an
entity-group.xml file
My schema name is lronline, following are the entries I had in
entity-engine.xml
<delegator name="default" entity-model-reader="main"
entity-group-reader="main" entity-eca-reader="main"
distributed-cache-clear-enabled="false">
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz"
datasource-name="localderby"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz.olap"
datasource-name="localderbyolap"/>
<group-map group-name="org.ofbiz"
datasource-name="mysql"/>
</delegator>
