Computing, gives Oracle customers the agility to respond faster to
changing business conditions, gain competitive advantage through
technology innovation, and reduce costs.
Note: Oracle on Windows platform has a limitation that strings longer
than 4000 bytes can't be processed due to SQL-Net limitations.

Document processor Fop 2.8
ApacheT FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by
XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent formatter. It
is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and
renders the resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats
currently supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML (area tree
representation), Print, AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent, RTF and TXT.
The primary output target is PDF.

Thanks to Kevin Lindsey for his 2D SVG routines.
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.
Searching our static pages on the info site and the help is provided by Tipue JS.
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, GlassFish, Jetty or WildFly in a directory of your
choice.
- Deploy the om44.war file. Follow the instructions for your
application server.
| javax.* | jakarta.*
-----------------+---------+-----------
Tomcat 9.0.75 | X |
Tomcat 10.1.10 | | X
GlassFish 7.0.6 | | X
Jetty 11.0.15 | | X
Wildfly 28.0.1 | | X
- Install MariaDB, MySQL, SQLServer, Oracle, PostgreSQL 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, these
are included with the DBMS).
- Copy the driver .jar(s) to the following directory:
- GlassFish {installation-dir}/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/om44/WEB-INF/lib
- Jetty {installation-dir}/jbase/webapps/om44.war/WEB-INF/lib
- Tomcat {installation-dir}/webapps/om44/WEB-INF/lib
- WildFly {installation-dir}/standalone/deployments/om44.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 PostgreSQL, but we do support currently
the following databases:
- DB2 use db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar (from Ibm/Sqllib/java)
- MariaDB use mariadb-java-client-3.1.3.jar (from MariaDB, downloadable separately)
- MySQL use mysql-connector-java-8.0.32.jar (from mysql-connector-java-8.0.32/lib)
- Oracle use ojdbc8.jar (from Oracle/product/db_1/jdbc for version 12.1.0)
- PostgreSQL use postgresql-42.6.0.jar (downloadable separately)
- SQLServer use mssql-jdbc-7.4.1.jre12.jar (from Microsoft SQL Server 2019 driver for JDBC version 7.4)
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, use one of the other openmodeling-xxx-44.zip files.
You will find installation instructions in the included readme.
