Version 17

    Specify Connection Properties

    Let's add a PostgreSQL axis.

     

    jBPM3 already generates the DDL scripts for many databases. Edit hibernate.properties.postgresql.xml

    <!-- hibernate dialect -->
    <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
    
    <!-- JDBC connection properties (begin) -->
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url">${jdbc.postgresql.url}</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">${jdbc.postgresql.username}</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password">${jdbc.postgresql.password}</property>
    <!-- JDBC connection properties (end) -->
    

    Provide Data Source

    Create jbpm-postgresql-ds.xml in modules/core/src/main/resources. Use ConfigDataSources as a reference.

    <xa-datasource>
      <jndi-name>JbpmDS</jndi-name>
    
      <xa-datasource-class>org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>
      <xa-datasource-property name="ServerName">${jdbc.postgresql.server}</xa-datasource-property>
      <xa-datasource-property name="PortNumber">${jdbc.postgresql.port}</xa-datasource-property>
      <xa-datasource-property name="DatabaseName">${jdbc.postgresql.database}</xa-datasource-property>
      <user-name>${jdbc.postgresql.username}</user-name>
      <password>${jdbc.postgresql.password}</password>
    
      <!-- disable transaction interleaving -->
      <track-connection-by-tx />
    
      <!-- corresponding type-mapping in conf/standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml -->
      <metadata>
        <type-mapping>PostgreSQL 8.0</type-mapping>
      </metadata>
    </xa-datasource>
    

    Create Maven Profile

    In the root POM add a profile that contains the dependency on the JDBC driver

    <dependencyManagement>
      <dependencies>
        <dependency>
          <groupId>postgresql</groupId>
          <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
          <version>${postgresql.version}</version>
        </dependency>
      </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>
    
    <profiles>
      <profile>
        <id>postgresql</id>
        <activation>
          <property>
            <name>database</name>
            <value>postgresql</value>
          </property>
        </activation>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>postgresql</groupId>
            <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </profile>
    </profiles>
    

    Fill in Connection Parameters

    Specify the connection property values that correspond to the target environment in the following locations.

     

    EnvironmentFileLocation
    jBPM Devprofiles.xml${basedir}
    Local Dev *settings.xml${user.home}/.m2
    Local QAprofiles.xml.local.qa${basedir}/hudson
    Red Hat QAprofiles.xml.redhat.qa${basedir}/hudson

    * Useful if you have multiple jBPM branches checked out

     

    For a local PostgreSQL installation the property values would look like this:

    <properties>
      <jdbc.postgresql.server>localhost</jdbc.postgresql.server>
      <jdbc.postgresql.port>5432</jdbc.postgresql.port>
      <jdbc.postgresql.database>jbpmtest</jdbc.postgresql.database>
      <jdbc.postgresql.url>jdbc:postgresql://${jdbc.postgresql.server}:${jdbc.postgresql.port}/${jdbc.postgresql.database}</jdbc.postgresql.url>
      <jdbc.postgresql.username>jbpmtest</jdbc.postgresql.username>
      <jdbc.postgresql.password></jdbc.postgresql.password>
    </properties>
    

    Specify Connection Properties For Update

    Generating the DB schema update script requires access to an alternate database hosting the schema from a previous version. Create postgresql.properties in modules/db/src/main/resources.

    hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
    #
    # This uses the jbpm322 database schema as reference for the SchemaUpdate task
    #
    hibernate.connection.driver_class=org.postgresql.Driver
    hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:postgresql://${jdbc.postgresql.server}:${jdbc.postgresql.port}/jbpm322
    hibernate.connection.username=${jdbc.postgresql.username}
    hibernate.connection.password=${jdbc.postgresql.password}
    

    antrun-jbpmschema.xml

    <target name="update-schema" depends="setup-schema" description="Generate jBPM Database Update Scripts">
      <jbpmschema output="${scriptsdir}/jbpm.jpdl.postgresql.update322.sql" config="hibernate.cfg.postgresql.xml" properties="postgresql.properties" action="update" delimiter=";"/>
    </target>
    

    List Database as Installation Choice

    install-definition.xml

    <conditions>
      <condition type="variable" id="isPostgreSQL">
        <name>dbSelection</name>
        <value>postgresql</value>
      </condition>
    </conditions>
    
    <packs>
      <!--

      ********************************
      -->
      <pack name="jBPM3 JBoss Integration" required="no" preselected="yes">
        <!-- Database configs to docs/examples/jbpm -->
        <fileset dir="@{deploy.artifacts.dir}/resources/jbpm-jpdl-config" targetdir="${jbossInstallPath}/docs/examples/jbpm" override="true">
          <include name="hibernate.cfg.postgresql.xml"/>
          <include name="jbpm-postgresql-ds.xml"/>
        </fileset>
        <!-- Database PostgreSQL -->
        <file src="@{deploy.artifacts.dir}/resources/jbpm-jpdl-config/jbpm-postgresql-ds.xml" targetdir="${jbossInstallPath}/server/${jbossTargetServer}/deploy/jbpm"  condition="isPostgreSQL"/>
        <singlefile src="@{deploy.artifacts.dir}/resources/jbpm-jpdl-config/hibernate.cfg.postgresql.xml" condition="isPostgreSQL" 
          target="${jbossInstallPath}/server/${jbossTargetServer}/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-service.sar/hibernate.cfg.xml" />
        <fileset dir="@{deploy.artifacts.dir}/lib" targetdir="${jbossInstallPath}/server/${jbossTargetServer}/deploy/jbpm/jbpm-service.sar" override="true" condition="isPostgreSQL">
          <include name="postgresql.jar" />
        </fileset>
      </pack>
    </packs>
    

    user-input-spec.xml

    <panel order="2">
      <createForPack name="jBPM3 JBoss Integration" />
      <field type="radio" variable="dbSelection">
        <spec>
          <choice txt="PostgreSQL" value="postgresql"/>
        </spec>
      </field>
    </panel>
    

    antrun-installer.xml

    <target name="configure" depends="init">

    </target>
    

    Set Up DBMS

    See Install PostgreSQL on Fedora

    Run Test Suite

    Finally you should be able to run the jBPM3 tests against PostgreSQL using the -Ddatabase option

    [tdiesler@tddell core]$ mvn -Ddatabase=postgresql -Dtest=EndTasksDbTest test
    [INFO] Scanning for projects...

    Add Database Axis To Hudson Jobs

    When the Maven build is setup to use the database for testing, you simple need to add the axis to the Hudson config.

    <axis>
      <name>database</name>
      <values>
        <string>hsqldb</string>
        <string>mysql</string>
        <string>postgresql</string>
      </values>
    </axis>
    

    This can also be done from the web interface.

     

    Good Luck
