AppFuseWSAD

AppFuse with WSAD

This is a work in progress.. I will detail each of these out as best as I can..

1. Load AppFuse - get from cvs
2. Create new instance via ant new
3. Create WSAD Enterprise project
4. Create WSAD Web project
5. Create new WAS5.1 Test Server
6. Setup datasource in WSAD
7. Setup WAS5.1 test server
8. Set affinity of EAR project for WAS5.1
   1. need to enable this possibility first via Window--> Preferences--> J2EE)
   2. Copy src, test
      1. Refresh web project
      2. Open the web project properties-->
      3. Java Build Path--> Source tab
      4. Add src/* and test/* folders
      5. Add src/gen by creating it
9. Rename WebContent folder in web project to: web
10. Copy web folders to the web project (yes overwrite)
11. Copy lib, metadata, extras, build.xml, app-settings.xml, build.properties, compile-jsp.xml, properties.xml to EAR project
12. Refresh enterprise project
13. Setup web project classpath via web--> META-INF--> MANIFEST.MF
    1. Open manifest
    2. Click select all (you can remove the extras/ibatis if you use hibernate)
    3. Close (and save) manifest
14. Mod build script to use property driven source dirs
    1. java.src.dir = ../web project dir/src
    2. test.src.dir = ../web project dir/test
    3. web.src.dir = ../web project dir/web
    4. Add a copy back to src dir target for stuff that gets built to the ${build.dir}/xxx/gen folders.
    5. Replace test/ with ${test.src.dir} and src/ with ${java.src.dir}
    6. Replace ${basedir}/web/ and web/ with ${web.src.dir}
    7. Make sure you do this inside properties.xml! otherwise your service and web tests will fail!
15. Run the build script until it works.. changing source directories as you go.
    1. Run Ant setup-db
    2. Run Ant package-web
16. Compile WSAD web project
17. Bind the web.xml resource reference for jdbc/ to the JNDI name you defined for your datasource

AppFuse v1.9 Pre-built WSAD 5.1 Workspace Running on IBM WebSphere 5.1

To make getting started with appfuse in WSAD easier, Joel Cohen has provided a pre-built WSAD workspace, tested, and ready to run/develop/debug Appfuse on WebSphere 5.1 server.

The view layer is Struts. The DAO layer is Hibernate (w/ MySQL database). The workspace contains the minimal amount of libraries to make the application run. You can download the complete WSAD workspace and be up and running within a couple of minutes!
