[ JBPM 5.2.@ ] web management console crashed but there is a solution – Business Process Management

Dear *,

Recently, I tried the JBPM 5.2.0 – JBoss Business Process Management – web management console and I had an application crash when I selected in the left menu the item “Process overview”.

Fortunately there is a solution to that problem which is to add the following line in the part of the build.xml file included in jbpm-installer_5.2.0 directory :

<!– Install reporting AS7 –>
<target name=”install.reporting.into.jboss7″ depends=”check.birt.as7″ if=”birt.download” >
<mkdir dir=”${install.home}/birt”/>
<unzip src=”${install.home}/lib/birt-runtime-${birt.version.as7}.zip”
dest=”${install.home}/birt”/>
<copy todir=”${install.home}/target/jbpm-gwt-console-server-war/WEB-INF/lib”>
<fileset dir=”${install.home}/birt/birt-runtime-${birt.version.as7}/ReportEngine/lib”>
<include name=”*/.jar”/>
<exclude name=”**/org.apache.commons.codec_1.3.0.v201101211617.jar”/>
</fileset>
</copy>

[JBoss.org AS7] Datasource configuration with Postgresql.

Dear all,

Well, recently I tried to make my application work on JBoss.org AS7.

Just to check if I should have to do some code modifications in my application when JBoss.com EAP 6 will be released.

FYI, you can download freely JBoss.org AS7 at the following URL –  http://www.jboss.org/jbossas – however as it is a community project you will not have any support with SLA.

In case of you would need one(s) then I would suggest you to subscribe to  JBoss EAP Solutions –   http://www.jboss.com/ –

So,  one of my main targets was to make AS7 work with Postgresql as its underlying database.

1] I wanted to use an updated Postgresql JDBC then I had to download it from the JDBC Postgresql website –  http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html –

I used postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar

2]  I had to create dedicated directories and files inside the JBoss.org AS7 directory.

jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/modules/org/postgres/main

Then, to upload the postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar in the following path :   jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/modules/org/postgres/main

And then to create specific xml file named : module.xml  with the following content :

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="org.postgres">

  <resources>

    <resource-root path="postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar"/>

  </resources>

   <dependencies>

     <module name="javax.api"/>

     <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>

   </dependencies>

</module>

So in the  jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/modules/org/postgres/main path you should retrieved the following files :

> postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar – Postgresql JDBC4 driver.

> postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar.index – Index file generated by JBoss. That file should automatically created by the JBoss instance as soon as the Postgresql JDBC Driver will be discover by the instance.

> module.xml – Module Description

4] Then, I  had to add a Posgresql node in the following section of the jboss-as-7.0.2.Final/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:datasources:1.0">

<datasources>

                  <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS" pool-name="H2DS" enabled="true" jta="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">

                                          sa

                  </datasource>
                  <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/PostgresqlDS" pool-name="java:jboss/datasources/PostgresqlDS_Pool" enabled="true" jta="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
                     <connection-url>
                                jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb
                     </connection-url>
                     <driver>
                                postgresql
                     </driver>
                     <security>
                                <user-name>
                                          myuser
                                </user-name>
                                <password>
                                          mypassword
                                </password>
                     </security>
                  </datasource>

                <drivers>

                    <driver name="postgresql" module="org.postgres">

                        <xa-datasource-class>

                            org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource

                        </xa-datasource-class>

                    </driver>

                    <driver name="h2" module="com.h2database.h2">

                        <xa-datasource-class>

                            org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource

                        </xa-datasource-class>

                    </driver>

                </drivers>

</datasources>

</subsystem>

Rem: Do not forget to change the Postgresql Database user and password to yours.

5] You can check in the JBoss Administration Console your JDBC connection is rcognized – http://localhost:9990/console/App.html#server/datasources

You should see a green light if everything is OK.

6] Finally, do not forget to change the persistence -persistence.xml – file of your application to check your application works with the new Posgresql datasource.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
