As Jesse correctly points out below, these are two completely separated
aspects:
1. you get tables created in MySQL because you have configured
Syncope to have its own internal storage on MySQL (and this required you
to put the MySQL JDBC driver JAR in $CATALINA_HOME/lib);
2. connectors (and resources) are needed for establishing
relationships between users in Syncope and users on external containers
(LDAP, other RDBMS, whatever). Read [1] for some information about what
connectors and resources are in Syncope.
Now, if you want to configure a database as external resource (2), you
are dealing with something completely different than the internal
storage (1): please be aware that this external resource could even be
backed up by the same MySQL instance you are using for internal storage,
it doesn't matter, it is something conceptually different.
So now i'm confused, why i'm getting this error
[...]
Last cause: List of choices is null - Was the supplied 'Choices' model
empty?
When i tried to open /Resources -> //Connectors /tab and clicked
/Create new Connector /button section?
Hei hei, compliments, you've found a bug :-)
I have created SYNCOPE-316 [2] for this: the fix will be included in
1.0.6; for the moment you must have at least one connector bundle in the
bundles directory *before* starting up Tomcat.
Finally, I'd suggest you to take a look at [3] for understanding how to
add a database resource.
Regards.
