[{ALLOW view All}] [{ALLOW edit Authenticated}] ([Old Eclipse usage on 16.10.2010|Eclipse_2010-10-16]) !! 23.09.2013 - Installation for a JavaEE-Project !1. Eclipse [Download|http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/] "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" (I took the 32bit version for compatibility reasons). Extract zip into a folder. !2. Java [Download|http://www.java.com/de/download/manual.jsp] a new java version. I installed both 32bit and 64bit of version 1.7.40. !3. Run Eclipse Check Eclipse version under Menu > Help > About Eclipse {{{ Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Kepler Release Build id: 20130614-0229 }}} Details about the core Eclipse release is under button "Eclipse.org".\\ Hint: The "Web Tools Platform" is now included. !4. JBoss Tools Add JBoss Tools to Eclipse under Menu > Help > "Install New Software ...".\\ Hit button "Add.." and add a new repository.\\ Get the repository from [http://www.jboss.org/tools/download]. I took the stable "JBoss Core Tools 4.1 :: Eclipse 4.3.0" version.\\ Click on it and copy the URL to use as repository in Eclipse. {{{ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/kepler/ }}} Install * JBoss Web and Java EE Development > JBossAS Tools * JBoss Web and Java EE Development > JBoss Tools RichFaces * JBoss Data Services > Hibernate Tools This enables you to create a "JBoss 7.x Runtime Server". (Current WTP Project still just has JBoss 5) !5. MySql Download at [http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/].\\ I took "MySQL Installer 5.6.14" as offline installation.\\ Export from server: {{{ mysqldump -u <user> -p<pw> dp clients datecancels dategroups datetemplates fixeddates group grouprole logins profiles sequence tablelogs > 201309230_dp.sql; }}} Import locally with MySQL Workbench > Menu > Server > Data Import/Restore > "Import from Self-Contained File" !6. Setup JPA / Configure database connection to MySQL5 for JBoss 7.0.x 1. In the JPA project edit the persistence.xml: {{{ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"> <persistence-unit name="DatePlanner201_JPA"> <description>any description</description> <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider> <class>ebel.dp201.jpa.Profile</class> <class>...</class> <properties> <property name="hibernate.default_schema" value="dp"/> <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect"/> <property name="hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings" value="true"/> <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://_hostname_:3306/_database_"/> <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="user"/> <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="xxxx"/> <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/> <property name="hibernate.connection.datasource" value="DatePlanner201_JPA" /> </properties> </persistence-unit> </persistence> }}} Create a new datasource (http://localhost:8080/console > Connector > Datasources) {{{ Name = Any name, maybe database JNDI Name = DatePlanner201_JPA Driver = mysql-connector-java-5.1.26-bin.jar Username = user Password = xxxx Connection URL = jdbc:mysql://localhost/dp }}} [JBoss datasources|https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS72/DataSource+configuration] are stored in /standalone/configuration/standalone.xml. The "JNDI Name" can be any name, but I guess it is a good idea to have it prefixed with "java:jboss/datasources/..." (as described in this [Jboss Community Thread|https://community.jboss.org/thread/230333?start=0&tstart=0]), but it must match the JDNI name in the JBoss console. The "persistence-unit" name in persistence.xml therfore is only used by your application with @PersistenceContext(unitName = "xyz"). Put the MySql Java driver to the deployment folder: {{{ ../standalone/deployments/mysql-connector-java-5.1.26-bin.jar }}} Deploy driver and application with a text file named <driver/app>__.dodploy__ !7. Test\\ Use address to JSF project, e.g. [http://localhost:8080/DatePlanner201_JSF]
