RE: jUDDI quick installation HowTo (linux/mysql/tomcat)

[Andy Cutright <An...@borland.com>]

hi ilias, 

one section in this doc particularly interests me. you have some stuff
for configuring MySQL for the user 'juddi'. is this stuff required out
of the box? have you tested it with the proprietary jUDDI administrative
extensions like add_publisher, etc.? if so, this would be a good
candidate for adding to the juddi_mysql.ddl script. 

your documents are good resources. a lot of this stuff covers
configuring MySQL and tomcat, and is not specific to jUDDI. i'm a bit
hesitant to add this information to the jUDDI site, since it may become
out of date, etc. 

the wiki might be a good location for your documents. it's a community
area, and is a good place for users to persistently store information. 

cheers,
andy

Re: jUDDI quick installation HowTo (linux/mysql/tomcat)

Andy,
    the *juddi user* is used to allow tomcat to connect to mysql. Tomcat 
is using the same juddi user to setup the connection pool with mysql. It 
is not a *juddi publisher* account. Some instructions therein increase 
the security of the mysql installation (it changes the default user 
password and default user permissions).

There is a different *juddi publisher* (presented in the 
JdbcAuthenticator.xml), that is added in the new 
PUBLISHER_AUTHENTICATION table, that assignes a password to the juddi 
publisher for the use of the JdbcAuthenticator. The proprietary 
add_publisher function may be implemented to add the password to that 
table if you like that...

Independent of adding that functionality to the add_publisher function, 
I believe the PUBLISHER_AUTHENICATION should be added to the 
juddi_mysql.ddl.

I understand your hasitation to add that how-tos to the site because are 
mysql and tomcat specific. The plan is to increase the content by adding 
instructions for more DBMS and Web containers. For example, I can do 
Oracle, Postgress and WebLogic. Maybe a howto section at the site is 
more appropriate since wiki is not something widely known. For example, 
I know what wiki is, but I am still searching to find where is the jUDDI 
wiki ;-)
