[Ejbca-develop] Re: Note regarding CMPs

[Philipp F. <phi...@ad...>]

Hi,

we have ported EJBCA to WLS 8.1, and WLS also complained about the bad 
PK fields;
for one thing, we have converted int to Integer. Also, we have added an 
explicit
FK field for the admin-group relation, like so:
      <abstract-schema-name>AdminEntityDataBean</abstract-schema-name>
         <cmp-field><field-name>adminGroupFK</field-name></cmp-field>

As soon as I find time, I will go through the diffs and write up the 
other relevant
changes we did to get the entire application running on WLS. Plus post the
weblogic-specifix  xml files.

(What we also did, is separate the RA and CA by having a Java Client 
make periodic
requests from one full EJBCA-Instance running as 'CA'  to as second instance
which is used as an RA. If people are interested, I can also post more 
details on this).


Regards,

philipp
