Documentation Query

[Steve Nisbet <s....@mmu.ac.uk>]

  Hi Folks,
just going through what I thought would be a routine re-install of 
wookie on another platform of ours, and I've noticed the documentation 
on the Wiki seems perhaps a little out of date; or, and its quite 
possible - I'm missing something. Unhelpfully all my notes from my first 
install are sat on a lovely  burned out hard drive.

This is with respect to a copy of the latest trunk, the docs at:
http://incubator.apache.org/wookie/downloading-and-installing-wookie.html
mention

The following will compile and run the server in Tomcat with a MySQL 
database. The database tables will be set up automatically, however you 
must have previously created a database called "widgetdb" with username 
"java" and password "java". (If you want to change the database 
connection settings, then you need to alter the 
scripts/mysql/hibernate.cfg.xml.)

Edit the "build.properties" file as follows:

    *

      uncomment "project.using.mysql=true" and comment out "project.using.derby=true"

    *

      set "servletEngine.webapp.dir=" to the location of your tomcat webapps directory.

and so on - however, I cannot find a copy of hibernate.cfg.xml (I recall 
you were working to ditch Hibernate and have possibly missed a post or 
two on that one), but... I cannot find reference to either 
/project.using.mysql/ or /project.using.derby/ in the build.properties, 
which look substantially different from the last time I installed Wookie 
from scratch.

Can anyone advise. Best wishes and thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes, you're right this is out of date - we replaced Hibernate with OpenJPA. The database connection details are now in build.properties. I'll update the docs.

I've had a go at fixing this, see:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WOOKIE/Downloading+and+Installing+Wookie

(It should sync up with the other url shortly)

If someone can try walking through the steps here just to verify that these instructions are now correct that would be a big help!
