I am trying to set up orion to use MySQL instead of HypersonicSQL. I'm looking for some advice on how to properly setup Orion to use the MySQL database that I have installed.
So far I have used the MySQL admin tool to creat a database called oriondb. I have also edited the "data-sources.xml" and added a "mysql.xml" file under the database-schemas directory. Here is a piece of the "data-sources.xml" file and a piece of the "mysql.xml":
data-sources.xml
----------------
<data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
name="MySQL"
location="jdbc/DefaultCoreDS"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/DefaultXADS"
ejb-location="jdbc/DefaultDS"
pooled-location="jdbc/DefaultPooledDS"
connection-driver="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
username="root"
password="root"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/mysql/data/oriondb"
inactivity-timeout="30"
schema="database-schemas/mysql.xml"
/>
mysql.xml
---------
<database-schema name="MySQL" not-null="not null" null="" primary-key="primary key">
<type-mapping type="java.lang.String" name="char (255)" />
<type-mapping type="int" name="int" />
<type-mapping type="long" name="int" />
<type-mapping type="float" name="float" />
<type-mapping type="double" name="double" />
<type-mapping type="byte" name="smallint" />
<type-mapping type="char" name="char" />
<type-mapping type="short" name="short" />
<type-mapping type="java.util.Date" name="timestamp" />
<disallowed-field name="password" />
<disallowed-field name="username" />
<disallowed-field name="date" />
<disallowed-field name="order" />
</database-schema>
I was very unsure as to what I should use for the "location" tags in the data-sources file. Also, with the "mysql.xml" file, I copied the Hypersonic schema file and removed the boolean type-mapping (I thought this might be my problem).
The error I get when I deply states "SQL error: Communication link failure: Bad handshake". If anyone has successfully deployed MySQL with Orion, I would be very much interested in the contents of their xml files.
