JBoss 4.2.3.GA Tweaks (Yale Bedework)

The following tweaks/configs are considered standard/best practice when developing or running the yale-bedework application.

• Clone the JBOSS/server/default folder and call it JBOSS/server/bedework
• Edit the file JBOSS/server/bedework/conf/jboss-service.xml, changing:

<attribute name="URLs">
   deploy/
</attribute>

into

<attribute name="URLs">
   deploy/,webapps/
</attribute>

• Download casclient-2.1.1.jar and put it in JBOSS/server/bedework/lib
• Download the MySQL driver JAR and put it in JBOSS/server/bedework/lib
• Create MySQL Bedework Data Source spec by creating a file called bedework-ds.xml in JBOSS/server/bedework/webapps
• Edit bedework-ds.xml as (or similar):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datasources>
  <no-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>CalendarDS</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bedework?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF-8&amp;characterSetResults=utf8</connection-url>
    <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>

    </metadata>
  </no-tx-datasource>
</datasources>

       <param name="Threshold" value="INFO"/>
