[Pocolap-developers] Deployment changes

[todd r. <tod...@ya...>]

The deployment for pocOLAP has changed.  If you update
your code from CVS, please note that the build will
create a war file that will no longer work with the
sample databases.  You will also need to change the
way you incorporate your own crosstab definition files
(these were previously referred to as "whs_" files).

Perviously, you copied the pocOLAPinternal directory
(which was the Derby sample database) and 2 nss.*
files (which were the HSQLDB sample database) to the
C:\ or /tmp directories.  Now, there is a pocolapDB
directory (located in CVS in userdocs/sampledata). 
Copying this entire directory to C:\ or /tmp enables
logging and sets up the sample databases.  

Previously, in order to tell the application about
crosstab definition files, you would create a "whs_"
init-param that pointed to your definition file.  Now,
you simply drop your crosstab definition files into
the crosstabdefs directory in the internal database
(pocolap/crosstabdefs).  Restarting the application
will cause the definitions to be read in.

The only need to edit web.xml at the current time
would be if you want to move the internal database
(the pocolapDB directory).  Within web.xml, set the
value of the "pocolap.DB.location" init param to the
new location/name of the internal database directory.

This is all included in the INSTALL.txt file in CVS. 
The config_file_how_to.pdf is still out of date, but
will be updated prior to our next release.  If you are
able to test the new code, please do so and let me
know if there are any problems.

Todd
