Pre-Compiling
Hi All, It's been a while since I posted to the list. I've been working with Geronimo 1.1 on an application for the last year. It's finally grown large enough that I'd like to pre-compile my JSP's and Struts Action Servlets prior to deploying them. How does one accomplish this? I googled and didn't find anything real definitive. I'd prefer utilizing Ant over Maven, as it already exists in my development environment. Also, I've attempted an initial deployment of my EAR to Geronimo 2, but it didn't like my deployment descriptor. I'm guessing I just need to change the xmlns:sys from deployment-1.1 to deployment-2.0, but would like to confirm that. Any info on porting from 1.1 to 2 is welcome. TIA Mark Aufdencamp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Pre-Compiling
Hi Mark, I don't know anything about pre-compiling, but I can tell you that the appropriate deployment descriptor is deployment-1.2 On Tue, Feb 26, 2008 at 1:07 PM, Mark Aufdencamp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, It's been a while since I posted to the list.

Hi Mark, I think pre-compilation of your JSPs is a function of which JSP engine you run and your build environment. One useful link for Tomcat is given here which shows you how to do it with Ant: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jasper-howto.html -- Thanks, Dan Becker

We (Geronimo) use the maven Jspc plugin -- http://mojo.codehaus.org/jspc-maven-plugin/ -- in our build (check our pom.xml for more details). For ant-based compilation, suggest you use Tomcat 6 precompilation support.

Re: Geronimo v2.1 Plan Creator = Deploy Liferay 4.1.1
Hi David, My responses are in-line. djencks wrote: I got the archetypes sort of working and made some progress on liferay. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3871 and the attached jar which contains the projects I came up with and some notes on what I did. It would be great if you could imitate what I did to see if my instructions make sense. I'm planning to write up something like this in the docs. Yes, your instructions make sense...up to the archetype part, particularly what you mean by Edit the poms and plans.. It may just be my lack of familiarity with Geronimo deployment plans, but in the command line for the war file, you specify groupId=com.liferay artifactId=liferay-portal version=4.4.1 packaging=war ...but looking at your editiion of geronimo-web.xml I see this: moduleId groupIdliferay/groupId artifactIdliferay-portal-tomcat/artifactId version4.4.1/version typecar/type /moduleId Shouldn't these by in sync? (meaning the artifactId) The only thing I don't see covered was the required derby-pool, but I think we might agree that Shiva has that well covered. Eventually, what is really needed is an example of how to use a database like MySQL or Oracle so one may use the Liferay database scripts to populate it. Here is the writeup of my experience as feedback. Hopefully, this may also help your documentation effort. I would greatly appreciate your comments/corrections. Summary: I did the same as you outlined in the file LIFERAY-README.txt found in your liferay-sample-project.jar of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3871 except that I used Console Repository = deploy the dependencies (jars) Console Deploy New = deploy the war Deployment of the liferay-portal-geronimo-derby-pool-4.4.1.car was via the deploy tool. See Details, below. Result: Security-related issues were resolved if your geronimo-web.xml file is modified to point to where j2ee-security lives (see [4] below). However, a new problem emerges (see bottom of [4] below). See Details, below. Details: - The rest of this post details what is summarized above.

Re: Geronimo 2.1 and Seam
Hi Jay, Thanks very much for the jar file. That helped a great deal. I'm stuck... I am now *almost* able to deploy the Seam 'booking' example. I'm having real problems with the geronimo deployment plan (The Plan) listed in the article. The deployment plan uses the Derby database. I'm using Oracle. I've successfully installed the Oracle jar in the respository and a configured a (thin driver) database pool that jar. I now successfully build the app, but when I try to deploy.bat from the command line using the The Plan, I get errors such as... Exception in Thread.. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/pool/OracleDataSource This class is in the oracle jar, but I think the geronimo deployment plan is incorrect. Can you give me some pointers/examples of setting up a deployment plan to use hibernate and oracle? Thanks, .Burt Jay D.

Our team has standardized on Geronimo at our large enterprise, and we think its the best app server in the industry. Thanks! We are in current development of an JSF/EJB3/OpenJPA application, and we would very much like to use Seam (2). For the past few days we have been trying (without much luck) to configure Geronimo to work with Seam and Hibernate; we would prefer OpenJPA as the persistence provider, but it appears impossible to use with Seam. I've tried to work thru: http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSAMPLES/running-jboss-seam-200ga-on-geronimo -21.html but the maven project to download the Hibernate Transaction Manager appears not to work, and we are finding the instructions a bit hard to follow. (we don't use Maven, we are Subversion users) $ mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=org.apache.geronimo.hibernate -DartifactId=geronimo-hibernate-transaction-manager-lookup I have updated the directions to correspond to the released Geronimo 2.1 version. But, I have not made it through testing all of the directions after creating the transaction manager jar. For your convenience, here is a link to the jar that I built: http://people.apache.org/~jaydm/hibernate/geronimo-hibernate-transaction-manager-lookup-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar Question 1: Is there a Geronimo 2.1 build that already includes everything needed to run Seam 2 or Hibernate that I can download, so we do not have to manually patch it? Not that I am aware of. Question 2: Is there any advice/guidance you can give my team regarding setting up Geronimo 2.1 to use Seam 2? We would very much like integrate Seam into Geronimo for our long term application development. I think that after the tutorial has been re-tested for the released Geronimo 2.1 version - that tutorial should be all you need to set up Geronimo for Seam.

CMP2 on G2 - Delayed Database Flush
Is there a way to configure when commands are flushed to the database for EJB2 CMP beans in G2? I noticed something that may be related to the severe caching/performance slowdown from trying to migrate CMP2 beans from G1 to G2. Here's a concrete example of the behavior: AdminLocalHome movieHome = (MovieLocalHome) context.lookup(java:comp/env/ejb/MovieLocal); MovieLocal newMovie = movieHome.create(someId); newMovie.setTitle(The Matrix); In G1, this code worked fine because the database INSERT was delayed until after the setTitle() was called. In G2, the INSERT happens immediately after the call to create() leading to a database insertion error since title is a required field in the database. Could someone provide me with a solution to delay the database flushing until later on? As I've said, I don't get the impression anything is being cached for CMP2 beans in G2 based on the severe performance slowdown I've seen.
