Open Modeling 4.1 Open Modeling is a web-based architecture modeling environment
created in J2EE technology. It is open source, open database,
application server independent and increasingly browser independent.
It has been tested with the following software versions:
Product Most recent version supported Related version

any more. They seem to support no longer supported Java 1.8 versions, so
this needs to be settled first before Openmodeling support can be tested.

We have used Yahoo UI Library 2.9.0 for the rich text editor.
DataTables is used to replace the YAHOO datatables.
AngularJS is used for Treemenu and will gradually replace the other YUI components.

For file upload we have included jspsmartupload from JspSmart (reverse engineered).
Connection pooling independent from DBMS is done with the PoolMan poolmanager (reverse engineered).
Installing instructions
- Install the selected Java JDK (The Application server requires it).
- Install Tomcat, AppServer or JBoss in a directory of your choice.
- Deploy the openmodeling.war file. Follow the instructions for your application server.
- Install MySQL, SQLServer, Oracle or DB2 according to the manufacturers instructions.
- For MySQL the installation script install.bat/install.sh is added that works at least for Windows and Linux.
- Install the corresponding JDBC driver (not for Oracle and DB2).
- Copy the driver .jar(s) to the following directory:
Tomcat {installation-dir}/webapps/om41/WEB-INF/lib
WildFly {installation-dir}/server/default/deploy/openmodeling-41.war/WEB-INF/lib
GlassFish {installation-dir}/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/om41/WEB-INF/lib
Bea Weblogic {installation-dir}/wlserver_10.0/samples/domains/wl_server/servers/examplesServer/tmp/_WL_user/om41/xxxxxx/war/WEB-INF/lib
Websphere {installation-dir}/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/installedApps/xxxxxxxNode01Cell/om41.ear/om41.war/WEB-INF/lib
In this directory you will find a list of required files in a file "directory content".
- Open modeling has three standard users:
1. admin with password om as administrator;
2. model with password om as modeler;
3. guest without password as viewer.
- You are automatically logged on as a guest user, when you select in the main menu Access, Logon where you can
relogon as the user you want to.
For migration from previous MySQL versions follow chapter 2.11 in the current version manual.
Using a different DBMS
As a standard database we deliver MySQL, but we do support currently the following databases:
- MariaDB: use mariadb-java-client-2.6.2.jar (from MariaDB, downloadable separately)
For MariaDB version 10.2 or earlier, use MySQL JDBC 5.1.* or
MariaDB JDBC 2.0.* and setup database with MySQL version of SQL-files
- MySQL: use mysql-connector-java-8.0.21.jar (from mysql-connector-java-8.0.21/lib)
- SQLServer: use mssql-jdbc-7.4.1.jre12.jar (from Microsoft SQLServer 2019 driver for JDBC version 7.4)
- Oracle: use ojdbc8.jar (from Oracle/product/db_1/jdbc) for version 12.1.0.1.0
- PostgreSQL: use postgresql-42.2.16.jar (downloadable separately)
- DB2/NT64: use db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar (from Ibm/Sqllib/java)
The used database password is Anne_mar. Of course you want to change that after testing. It is
only referenced in the file poolman.props in the WEB-INF/classes of the Web-application.
If you want to use one of the other databases, download one of the other openmodeling-xxx-41.zip files.
You will find installation instructions in the included readme.
