Problem installation-Execution activiti-5.0alpha4 with Mysql

dr_pompeii

Dear Members

I am trying to install and execute activiti-5.0.alpha4 with mysql

Software used:

Windows XP SP3
Server version: 5.1.49-community MySQL Community Server (GPL)
mysql driver: mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar
JDK 6 update 21
Tomcat 6.0.29

After to configure to work with mysql and my tomcat the follow files

build.properties
build.mysql.properties

and copied the mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar driver to activiti-5.0.alpha4\[size=140]lib[/size] folder

Well I execute the ant command and I got the follow problem

Total time: 10 seconds
\WhiteRoom\activiti\activiti-5.0.alpha4\setup>

I dont know what is wrong or missing, but according to the build.xml configuration file
the follow target only do reference to ${activiti.home}/lib or activiti-5.0.alpha4\lib where the driver yes is located

<target name="internal.classpath.libs">
    <path id="classpath.libs">
        <fileset dir="${activiti.home}/lib">
             <include name="*.jar" />
        </fileset>
     </path>
</target>

and the line 195 mentioned in the error stacktrace is this

<taskdef name="deploy-bar" classname="org.activiti.impl.ant.DeployBarTask">
      <classpath>
         <pathelement path="files/demo"/>
         <fileset dir="build">
          <include name="activiti-cfg.jar"/>
         </fileset>
        <fileset dir="${activiti.home}/lib">
          <include name="activiti-engine-${activiti.version}.jar"/>
          <include name="mybatis-*.jar"/>
          <include name="h2-*.jar"/>
          <include name="freemarker-*.jar" />
          <include name="juel*.jar" />
        </fileset>
      </classpath>
   </taskdef>
   <deploy-bar file="${activiti.home}/setup/build/activiti-examples.bar" />
</target>

Not very useful in try to dectect the error related with the MySql's driver

I need the help of Activiti's developers

Thanks in advanced

Hi Manuel, hi to the rest of the board,

the exception is thrown while executing the deploy-bar task, I would guess you have to add the mysql-connector-*.jar to your fileset.

After adding the .jar your deploy-bar task it should look this:

<taskdef name="deploy-bar" classname="org.activiti.impl.ant.DeployBarTask">
    <classpath>
     <pathelement path="files/demo"/>
     <fileset dir="build">
          <include name="activiti-cfg.jar"/>
     </fileset>
        <fileset dir="${activiti.home}/lib">
          <include name="activiti-engine-${activiti.version}.jar"/>
          <include name="mybatis-*.jar"/>
          <include name="h2-*.jar"/>
      <include name="mysql-*.jar"/>
          <include name="freemarker-*.jar" />
          <include name="juel*.jar" />
        </fileset>
    </classpath>
   </taskdef>
   <deploy-bar file="${activiti.home}/setup/build/activiti-examples.bar" />
</target>

As you use mysql you can comment the h2 related tasks and delete the <include name="h2-*.jar"/> from your taskdef. If you comment the h2 tasks dont forget to remove them from your build dependencies.

hope that helps

Hello Eran

Thanks a lot for the reply!

the exception is thrown while executing the deploy-bar task, I would guess you have to add the mysql-connector-*.jar to your fileset.

Yes I added <include name="mysql-*.jar"/> in such taskdef and all goes well, thanks a lot!!, and to be honest I thought the solution that you told me, but I didn't because I thought that such build.xml was totally already tested to work with both DB

As you use mysql you can comment the h2 related tasks and delete the <include name="h2-*.jar"/> from your taskdef.

Is not necessary for a successful startup, I don't test yet the sample code

If you comment the h2 tasks dont forget to remove them from your build dependencies.

Again Is not necessary for a successful startup, I don't test yet the sample code

BTW, do you know a complete tutorial for installation?,the activiti's documentation is not very expanded ,I am thinking to write one in my blog, exists some tricks that I discovered through the steps of installation, I want to share with other members

About the <include name="mysql-*.jar"/> Therefore is it a bug?

My Best Regards

i created

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-85

and

Hello Tom

OK, I found two bugs, thanks for create the JIRA.

I going to create a tutorial in my Blog about installation instructions, because exists
others tricks, it must be useful for the community

Best Regards

Hi dr_pompeii,

the problem should be fixed in the beta1-release. See JIRA for further info!

Hello Christian

Yes, I have read the two JIRA's links

right now I am executing and doing an analysis about the examples source code 😃

I get following error with H2 Database; dont think it is db related.

db.demo.data:
[sql] Executing resource: /Users/anthos/Downloads/activiti-5.0.beta2/setup/build/demo/h2.data.sql
[sql] 26 of 26 SQL statements executed successfully

There should be something else going wrong before that if you get that exception.

Can you paste the whole ant log ?
