AppFuseEnvironmentIssues

This is version 9. It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.

• MySQL 4.0.20 standard for redhat 8.0 linux x86 maybe other linux impl's too has a problem whereby the permissions granted are granted for user 'test@localhost' which causes the 'ant setup' target in the generated app to fail because it tries unsuccessfully to access mysql as 'test@'.
  • Resolution: In the generated app directory cd to MYAPPNAME/metadata/sql and modify mysql-create.sql by copying the line that reads 'grant all privileges on qts.* to test@localhost identified by "test";' and adding a new line that adds the same privileges to test@. The resulting 2 lines should look like this when done:
    

    grant all privileges on qts.* to test@localhost identified by "test";
     grant all privileges on qts.* to test@<hostname> identified by "test";

• Tomcat 4.1.27 throws an exception when using the compressionFilter.
  • Resolution 1: Don't use the compressionFilter, by commenting out the mapping in metadata/web/filter-mappings:
    

    <!--filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>compressionFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping-->

• • Resolution 2: Upgrade your version of Tomcat. Version 4.1.30 is known to resolve this issue.

• Ant throws an error when running the "test-canoo" target. The following error is caused by "nekohtml.jar" being in ANT_HOME/lib:
  

com.canoo.webtest.engine.StepExecutionException: Unexpected

which is incorrect with regard to namespaces., Step:

• • Resolution: Remove "nekohtml.jar" from ANT_HOME/lib

• AppFuse home directory cannot be in CATALINA_HOME/webapps. This is common sense really, but a developer in my team had a problem with this. The issue is when certain ant targets are called (I think it was "deploy"), they will overwrite parts of appfuse.

• Some installations of Fedora Core 1 fail the "Signup" test in the ant "test-canoo" target. Updating the installation of FC1 has resolved this issue in some cases, but it is otherwise unresolved.
