Adam Monsen resolved MIFOS-4921.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Sure, maybe that's the way to go. :)
I'm resolving this issue Won't Fix for now. The only quick win I could think of
was to make Mifos fail faster if there is some problem with the database
connection.
On head/master, Mifos fails fairly fast: 30 seconds on my laptop. I'll attach a
WIP patch that provides a way for Mifos to fail in somewhere around 5 seconds
by making the db connection test the very first thing that happens (for the
mifos app) on app server startup. See tryDatabaseFirst.patch.
It's better, but it's not a big enough win for me to introduce the change (and
possibly break something else in doing so).

> Key: MIFOS-4921
> URL: http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-4921
> Project: mifos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adam Monsen
> Assignee: Adam Monsen
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: tryDatabaseFirst.patch
>
>
> h2. Do what?
> * Confirm that the Mifos database connection works before starting up Mifos.
> * If not,
> ** prompt the user to change the db connection settings
> ** test those settings (try to connect again)
> ** fix or create a local.properties file (or at least display what should go
> into MIFOS_CONF/local.properties)
> h2. Rationale
> I see this as a blocker for many, many folks. All of us have run into this at
> some time or other. Mifos assumes a database is present, and crashes horribly
> if it is not.
> Since Mifos has no real installer, there's nothing to help the user quickly
> and effectively connect Mifos to a database.
> h2. Other ideas
> These should probably be separate issues:
> * Remove the existing DatabaseInitFilter.
> * Also provide assistance for database connections for BIRT reports and Mifos
> BI (Pentaho).
> * This "assistance" with configuring the Mifos database connection must
> happen before Mifos proper starts up. When working on this, keep in mind that
> we may want to do other things during this time, like [show progress on
> database upgrades|MIFOS-2742].
