[Opensource] Steps to install Expresso5-0-2.war on JBOSS.3.0.4_tomcat.4.1.12

Thu Jan 16 20:27:27 PST 2003

Hi All,
The steps described in the last mail will help anyone to get the expresso working on JBOSS.
But there are some problems logged in JBOSS's server.log file.
They are,

*******************************************************************************
2003-01-16 18:59:48,919 INFO  [org.jboss.web.localhost.Engine] StandardManager[/expresso-bin]: Seeding of random number generator has been completed

*******************************************************************************

When do we get these log messages? 
--------------------------------------------
1. JBOSS tries to start StdServlet servlet by invoking servlet.init() method
2. Inside init() method of StdServlet checks for ConfigManager for initialization. [if (!ConfigManager.isInitialized())]
3. Since this is the first time any of the Expresso component is invoked, obviously ConfigManager is not initialized.
4. init() method initializes the ConfigManager by calling ConfigManager.config() method
5. Inside ConfigManager.config() method there are many System.err.println("") statements. These statements are responsible for the ERROR log

The above steps seems normal & routine. But I can't understand why they log messages as ERROR.

Are these messages are ERRORs ? OR Is this a mistake ?
Can we ingnore these ERROR messages ?

Looking for a help,

Thanks
Ravi

All,

After struggling for almost a week, we could install the basic expresso on JBOSS. We have attached the files required for the deployment and the steps to follow.
We have checked the basic functionalities, found it working.

[Shamanth and Shamir have hacked almost every expresso classes !]

Please note that, today we could only install the expresso with hypersonic database. We have not yet validated the implementation with Oracle and AiDA Search POC.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Please follow these steps,

1) Unzip the expresso5-0-2-bin.war file received into a folder with the same name
2) Overwrite the ..\expresso5-0-2-bin.war\WEB-INF\classes\com\jcorporate\expresso\core\logging\LoggingRoot.properties file with the file attached
3) Overwrite the ..\expresso5-0-2-bin.war\WEB-INF\classes\com\jcorporate\expresso\core\misc\ConfigManager.class file with the file attached

4) Overwrite the ..\expresso5-0-2-bin.war\WEB-INF\classes\com\jcorporate\expresso\core\misc\ConfigManager$MySAXParser.class file with the file attached
5) Create a ExpressoClasses.jar file by zipping ..\expresso5-0-2-bin.war\WEB-INF\classes folder [After creating, open the jar file and make sure that files are zipped starting  com folder as root]. Keep this file in a temp folder
6) Copy the expresso5-0-2-bin.war folder to ..\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12\server\default\deploy folder
7) Copy  the following files from ..\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12\server\default\deploy\expresso5-0-2-bin.war\WEB-INF\lib to ..\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12\server\default\deploy folder
    a) tilesForStruts1-0.jar
    b) commons-pool.jar
    c) jakarta-oro-2.0.5.jar
    d) struts.jar
    e) junit.jar 
 8) Move the ExpressoClasses.jar file from temp folder to ..\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12\server\default\deploy folder

Start the JBOSS,

Hopefully this works ,

NOTE: 
A) Changes to LoggingRoot.properties: All the lines in this class are commented
B) Changes to ConfigManager.java: Only one line change !
    URL url = digester.getClass().getResource("/com/jcorporate/expresso/core/expresso-config_4_0.dtd");
    Changed to 
    URL url = digester.getClass().getResource("/WEB-INF/classes/com/jcorporate/expresso/core/expresso-config_4_0.dtd");

Best regards
