Dear List, I am trying to configure Jetspeed 1.5 (Tomcat 5; SuSE Linux 9.1 pro) to work with mySQL 4.0.18 and am experiencing a problem. It started with me getting the same NullPointer error when trying to deploy my application, but I wanted to be sure it was Jetspeed-1.5 before I posted, so I used nothing but factory stuff to reproduce the problem.
I beseech you gurus to help me to understand the folly of my ways, and if possible turn this document into a publicly available walkthrough for those who will follow in my footsteps. My approach was to go through this once, and then repeat it using cut/paste from this posting to my command shell, to ensure this would be an accurate recap of what I actually did. Thanks for your help, Charlie Hitselberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====== the procedure and resulting error message follow ===== First I downloaded ftp://apache.mirrors.redwire.net/pub/apache/jakarta/jetspeed/jetspeed-current-src.zip and used it to make a new jetspeed-1.5/ source tree: > mkdir ~/code/portal # tabula raza > mkdir ~/code/portal/zips/ > mkdir ~/code/portal/zips/mysqljetspeed > mkdir ~/code/portal/zips/factory I downloaded ftp://apache.mirrors.redwire.net/pub/apache/jakarta/jetspeed/jetspeed-current-src.zip into the factory subdirectory > cd ~/code/portal > unzip zips/factory/jetspeed-current-src.zip > cd jetspeed-1.5/ I made the following changes in these three files: > cat > ~/build.properties install.war=/usr/local/tomcat/webapps locale.default=en maven.home = /usr/local/maven maven.war.appserver.home = /usr/local/tomcat database = mysql > pico ./project.properties announcement = 1.5 ... ### database = hypersonic database = mysql ... ### torque.database.url = jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost ### torque.database.driver = org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver ### torque.database.user = sa ### torque.database.password = torque.dsfactory.default.connection.driver = org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver torque.database.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jetspeed torque.database.user = root torque.database.password = > pico webapp/WEB-INF/conf/Torque.properties ### torque.database.default.adapter=hypersonic torque.database.default.adapter=mysql ... ## Using torque's old pool ### torque.dsfactory.default.connection.driver = org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver ### torque.dsfactory.default.connection.url = jdbc:hsqldb:${webappRoot}/WEB-INF/db/jetspeed ### torque.dsfactory.default.connection.user = sa ### torque.dsfactory.default.connection.password = ... ### MySQL torque.dsfactory.default.connection.driver = org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver torque.dsfactory.default.connection.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jetspeed torque.dsfactory.default.connection.user = root torque.dsfactory.default.connection.password = Next, I did > cd src/java/ > jar xvf /usr/local/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.0.14-production/mysql-connector-java-3.0.14-production-bin.jar org/gjt/mm/mysql/Driver.class (extracted: org/gjt/mm/mysql/Driver.class) > cd ../..
