Oracle configuration in Tomcat to run MVC CRUD scaffolding

All of your advice worked perfectly. By simply copying jar file ojdbc14-10.2.0.4.0.jar into WEB-INF/lib the original MVC Crud operation worked correctly.

Then when I followed your instructions and did a re-scaffold of the MVC crud but this time specified two tables (that had nothing to do with each other) and set the “parent” checkbox on both of them, it correctly generated CRUD for each table that was independent of the other, which is exactly what I was looking to do.

I will have to expand on my final point later but I will mention it here and pursue it later.

As I mentioned, I added a new file named context.xml to WebRoot/META-INF because this is a trick I discovered on my own that allows me to use a JNDI connection to a database datasource within Tomcat. This allows me to define the database in the Spring xml context file (and also within web.xml) as a jndi database connection.

Below shows the change to web.xml that I refer to, which I do myself manually in a non-MyEclipse web app:

<resource-ref id="ResourceRef_1184621383329">
           <description>UESM</description>
           <res-ref-name>uess_ds</res-ref-name>
           <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
           <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
           <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
   </resource-ref>

The entry above in web.xml matches perfectly to the following entry in context.xml which I place into file META-INF/context.xml of the Web App. I learned this trick by reading Tomcat documentation. Notice I embedded documentation in the context.xml which I show below:

<?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’utf-8′?>
<Context>
<!–
from http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html :

Context elements may be explicitly defined:

In the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml file: the Context element information will be loaded by all webapps.
…snip…
in an individual file at /META-INF/context.xml inside the application files.
If the web application is packaged as a WAR then /META-INF/context.xml will be
copied to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ and renamed to match
the application’s context path. Once this file exists, it will not be replaced
if a new WAR with a newer /META-INF/context.xml is placed in the host’s appBase.

Inside a Host element in the main conf/server.xml.

from http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html :

<!– see:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/realm.html
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html#MemoryRealm
R.Glover : Mar 31, 2010 – the realm below seems to be ignored,
superfluous, and not necessary for Tomcat. Oddly, it
does not even seem to be necessary for Tomcat to have that
Realm defined within conf/server.xml
–>
<Realm className=”org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm” />

<!– Default set of monitored resources –>
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>

<Resource
auth=”Container”
driverClassName=”oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver”
maxActive=”20″
maxIdle=”10″
maxWait=”10000″
name=”uess_ds”
password=”xxxxxx”
type=”javax.sql.DataSource”
url=”jdbc:oracle:thin:@aaaa.bb.cc.ddd.eee:1521:ZZZ1″
username=”abcd”/>

</Context>

Finally, I define the database in the Spring xml file as follows:

    <bean id="dataSourceUess" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
        <property name="jndiName" value="${jdbc.jndiName.uess}"/>
    </bean>

Where the ${jdbc.jndiName.uess}” is defined in file jdbc.properties as shown below:

# Properties file with jdbc-related settings for Spring configuration.
# Applied by PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer in "ApplicationContext.xml".

# WARNING!!! Do not by mistake put a space after these property values!!!
#          "jdbc/isf"  is totally different than "jdbc/isf " !!!!

#
# Whereas WSADS 5.1 is content to use "jdbc/news2sd",
# RAD7 (and Websphere 6.1) generates a warning message
# which says the preferred way to specify it is
# as shown below.  Compare this to web.xml where
# "res-ref-name" is defined. It is that "res-ref-name"
# which is used below prefixed by "java:comp/env/"
#
jdbc.jndiName.uess=java:comp/env/uess_ds

By using the above technique, I can deploy this Tomcat/Eclipse app to IBM Websphere without any changes. Webshpere uses it’s own jndi connection pool for the datasource and ignores file context.xml.

It is because of this jndi trick, that I need to specify the Oracle jar file in the Tomcat classpath, not in the lib directory of the web application. By contrast, when I do it “your way”, i.e., by using the entry shown below which MyEclipse for Spring generates, I must put the Oracle jar file into the web app’s lib directory:

<!– ******************************************************************** –>
<!– Setup each data source –>
<!– ******************************************************************** –>
<!– Using Atomikos Data Sources –>

                <bean name="uess_dsDS" class="com.atomikos.jdbc.nonxa.AtomikosNonXADataSourceBean" >
                    <property name="uniqueResourceName" value="uess_ds__CUEIAMGcEd-sG7v3kzmnSw" />
                    <property name="driverClassName" value="${uess_ds.connection.driver_class}" />
                    <property name="user" value="${uess_ds.connection.username}" />
                    <property name="password" value="${uess_ds.connection.password}" />
                    <property name="url" value="${uess_ds.connection.url}" />
                    <property name="minPoolSize" value="${uess_ds.minPoolSize}" />
                    <property name="maxPoolSize" value="${uess_ds.maxPoolSize}" />
                </bean>

My final task (in the future) is going to be to try to “graft” this ME4S CRUD into an existing, non-ME4S web application that uses maven and a pom.xml file. I generated all the ME4S crud into it’s own unique package. So when I have time, my plan is to copy that package and all the source it contains into the pre-existing web app, and then similarly copy all the xml configuration files that ME4S generated. This will at first cause terrible “class missing” problems, but after some tortuous “maven heck” of manually changing the pom.xml file, I figure I may eventually get this to work. One problem will be that the existing web app uses Hibernate while the ME4S crud uses JPA. It would have been more straightforward (maybe) for my purposes if the ME4S crud had an option to generate plain hibernate instead of hibernate wrapped in JPA.

Anyway, thank you for your help. I will pursue these other topics further when time permits– and appreciate any advice you can offer between now and then about it

My first step in debugging why the maven version of the MVC Crud did not work when I set it to EE 1.4, was to regenerate the maven version of the MVC Crud from scratch but this time take all the defaults except that I specified Spring 3 instead of the default Spring 2.5.
There are really two big differences this time. One, I took the default of EE 5 instead of changing it to EE 1.4 that way I did the first time when I got the fatal errors. The second difference is that this second time I did not uncheck the Spring DSL checkbox.
Well for whatever reason (most likely the only reason that matters is because I let it default to EE 5), the maven MVC crud worked perfectly this second time.
There were not errors.
So, the current theory is that the maven version of the MVC crud will not work if the default of EE 5 is changed to EE 1.4.

For the purposes of comparing this pom.xml to the version of the pom.xml that generated errors, below is the new pom.xml using the default of EE 5. Using it to run a “Run As…Maven Config… clean package’ worked perfectly with no errors:

The solution, whatever it is, probably involves changes that will be need to be made to the first pom.xml (the one that specifies EE 1.4).
As long as I’m looking at it carefully, this is good time to start removing unneeded dependencies.
I remove the following:

     <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
        <artifactId>gwt-incubator</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.1</version>
    </dependency>

And I also remove the following:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.adobe.blazeds</groupId>
        <artifactId>blazeds-common</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0.544</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.adobe.blazeds</groupId>
        <artifactId>blazeds-core</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0.544</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.adobe.blazeds</groupId>
        <artifactId>blazeds-opt</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0.544</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.adobe.blazeds</groupId>
        <artifactId>blazeds-proxy</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0.544</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.adobe.blazeds</groupId>
        <artifactId>blazeds-remoting</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0.544</version>
    </dependency>

There are many dependencies that I don’t now if it is okay to remove. For example:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.jruby</groupId>
        <artifactId>jruby</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.0</version>
    </dependency>
