AppFuseQuickStart

This is version 11. It is not the current version, and thus it cannot be edited.

1. Download the source version or CVS version.
2. Install J2EE 1.4, set a J2EE_HOME environment variable, install J2SE 1.4+, set a JAVA_HOME environment variable, install Ant 1.5.1-1.5.4, set an ANT_HOME environment variable.
3. Install MySQL 3.23.x+ and Tomcat 4.1.x+. Make sure Tomcat has mail.jar, activation.jar and jta.jar in its common/lib directory (copy from J2EE_HOME/lib if missing). Set a CATALINA_HOME environment variable to point to your Tomcat installation. You should use jakarta-tomcat-version to name the Tomcat directory.
4. Setup a local SMTP server or change mail.properties (in the root) to point to an existing one - it defaults to localhost.
5. Copy lib/junit3.8.1/junit.jar to $ANT_HOME/lib.
6. Run "ant new -Dapp.name=YOURAPPNAME -Ddb.name=YOURDBNAME". This will create a directory named YOURAPPNAME in the same directory as appfuse.
7. Navigate to the new directory and run "ant setup-db setup-tomcat deploy" to setup your app on Tomcat. If you want to test and make sure everything works, run "ant test-all" - make sure Tomcat is stopped when you do this.
8. Run "ant test-reports" - there will be a message after it runs telling you how you can view the generated reports.

You'll also need to change the "javadoc" target in build.xml to looking for "com.*" rather than "org.*".

Other files you'll need to change are:

• metadata/web/global-exceptions.xml
• web/pages/uploadForm.jsp
• web/WEB-INF/tiles-config.xml
• web/WEB-INF/validator-rules-custom.xml
• web/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml
• web/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties
