[Coefficient-users] Re: Coefficient lacks install support?

[Thomas F. <tfo...@cs...>]

I CC the coefficient users list, as this may help other people, too.
It's also the logical place to ask and answer questions. You can
subscribe here:

You only need to setup a datasource for the JBoss installation. The
datasource can be set up by creating a file in the deploy directory:
e.g.	${JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/deploy/
For instance, to create a postgresql datasource, create a file (call it,
say, postgres-ds.xml) with the following contents (obviously
substituting reasonable values for ${HOST} , ${DB_NAME} , ${DB_USERNAME}
and ${PASSWORD})

<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>
<datasources>
   <local-tx-datasource>
      <jndi-name>CoefficientDS</jndi-name>
	<connection-url>jdbc:postgresql://${HOST}/${DB_NAME}</connection-url>
      <driver-class>org.postgresql.Driver</driver-class>
      <user-name>${DB_USERNAME}</user-name>
      <password>${PASSWORD}</password>
   </local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>

For the tomcat install, you need to setup up your connection properties
as per http://coefficient.sourceforge.net/install/installWA.html
In Tomcat, coefficient connects directly to the database. In JBoss, it
connects via the datasource.

Cool, and good luck getting it going. If you have more trouble, please
mail the users list (which I'm subscribed to).
