Thanks so much for all your efforts so far - alas its still not going
smoothly! Although I copied mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar to
$openejb_home/lib I'm getting:
FATAL: OpenEJB has encountered a fatal error and cannot be started:
Assembler failed to build the container system.
org.openejb.OpenEJBException: Cannot load the container Default CMP
Container. Received message: Unable to construct the Castor JDOManager
objects: org.exolab.castor.mapping.MappingException: The persistence
engine mysql is not supported in this Castor configuration: The
persistence engine mysql is not supported in this Castor configuration
at
org.openejb.alt.assembler.classic.ContainerBuilder.buildContainer(ContainerBuilder.java:177)
...
I've put mappings under webapps/EJB/META-INF/cmp.mapping.xml; removed the
global/local TX*.xml files; and my openejb.conf now looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<openejb
xmlns="http://www.openejb.org/System/Configuration";>
<Container
id="Default CMP Container" ctype="CMP_ENTITY">
# The default size of the method ready bean pools.
# Every bean class gets its own pool of this size.
PoolSize 100
Engine mysql
ConnectorName Default JDBC Database
# Driver class name
JdbcDriver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
# Url for creating connections
JdbcUrl jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/edushop
# Default user name
UserName www-data
# Default password
Password removed
</Container>
<Container id="Default BMP Container" ctype="BMP_ENTITY">
... Stateless / statefull / bmp containers removed for email ...
</Container>
<Connector id="Default JDBC Database">
JdbcDriver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
JdbcUrl jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/edushop
UserName www-data
Password removed
</Connector>
<Deployments dir="beans/"/>
<Deployments jar="/usr/local/apache-tomcat/webapps/EJB/ejb.jar"/>
</openejb>
Am I doing anything really stupid somewhere?
As a small aside the new Latest Unstable (openejb-1.1-20060411.tar.gz)
seems to be missing openejb_home/logs - needs a simple mkdir & touch
foo.log
Kind Regards, Jason
