[jira] Commented: (TUSCANY-3730) Store tutorial fails to run from binary distribution because of missing database files

["Simon Nash (JIRA)" <de...@tuscany.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-3730?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12922107#action_12922107 ] 

Simon Nash commented on TUSCANY-3730:
-------------------------------------

One solution would be to include these database files in the binary disitrbution.  There are 3 identical copies of the database in store/store-db, store/store-eu and store/store-supplier.  Each copy of the database occupies about 1.7MB, so this would add 5MB to the size of the binary distribution.  This seems excessive, especially considering that all 3 copies of the database are the same.

An alternative solution would be to add code to the tutorial ant scripts to create these database files and tell users that they need to run a command to create these files before running the tutorial for the first time.  This is easy to do and doesn't increase the size of the binary distribution.  It does require the user to type one additional command, but this doesn't seem excessively burdensome.

Further improvements are possible.  For example, the "ant run" command for store/domain could either create the database files automatically or check to make sure the files have previously been created.  Unfortunately this is slightly complicated to implement because the build.xml file for store/domain is generated by code in the pom.xml file and can't easily be customized to add the necessary additional logic.

For now I have taken the simple approach of making the database creation an explicit additional step that is described in the store tutorial README.

> The database files used by the store tutorial aren't included in the binary distribution. If the store tutorial is run without these files, a number of the scenarios fail.
