ClassCastException when building the JetExpress tutorial
Hello,
I've installed jetspeed-2.1.2-demo-installer.jar on my
FreeBSD/postgreSQL environment, and now trying the JetExpress
tutorial. Though there were quite a few complications, the mailing
list archives have been filling in the missing pieces for me.
However, I just couldn't find the solution to the problem I'm facing
now, and would like to ask for your help.
Following the instructions on
<http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2/01/build-it.html>,
when I executed "mvn -P tomcat,min", I got
"java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.maven.usability.MojoFailureExceptionDiagnoser:".
Detailed messages are attached at the end of this mail.
I found two similar correspondences in the archive; one solution was
to specify "-DarchetypeVersion=2.1" (instead of 2.1-dev), and the
other was to specify "http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven2" as the
mirror site in maven setting.xml.
Based on the information, I've regenerated the jetexpress portal
using "-DarchetypeVersion=2.1" option (instead of 2.1-dev), but
neither value made any difference.
The mirrors section in my setting.xml for maven is as follows, and I
haven't been having problems downloading necessary files so far:
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>central.mirror</id>
<name>Mirror http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</name>
<url>http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven2</url>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
The database-related entries in setting.xml are as follows, and all
83 tables were created in the database :
<org.apache.jetspeed.production.jdbc.drivers.path>
/usr/local/share/java/classes/postgresql.jar
</org.apache.jetspeed.production.jdbc.drivers.path>
<org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.default.name>
postgres
</org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.default.name>
<org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.url>
jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/jetexpress
</org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.url>
<org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.driver>
org.postgresql.Driver
</org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.driver>
<org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.user>
jetspeed
</org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.user>
<org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.password>
*****
</org.apache.jetspeed.production.database.password>
One thing I did that might have something to do with this is that
because I came across "The plugin 'xxxx' does not exist or no valid
version could be found" messages for the following components, I
downloaded them from http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 instead of
http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven2.
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-site-plugin/
plexus/
org/codehaus/plexus
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-install-plugin/
org/apache/maven/maven-parent/
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-plugins/
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/
I would appreciate any suggestions or insights as to how I can
resolve this problem.
Thank you and best regards,
Sari

Maven is a very powerful tool full of great features and can be
easily configured to point at repos inside your intranet.
Of course you will somehow need to download the dependency jars once
to put them there

The installer that comes with the tutorial will run on FreeBSD and
has a "checkbox" for selecting PostgreSQL as your database. So I
think the Ant/Eclipse tutorial is a good place to get started for
evaluation

I understand what is already documented is *the* recommended
approach, but I was having problems building the tutorial as I
mentioned in the original post, so in the end I downloaded the
entire repository and editted the settings.xml to not point to any
mirrors, and the build ended successfully.
I was curious to find out if what I did was also another acceptable
way, because I'm currently considering to develop a custom portal on
Jetspeed in a non-internet-reachable environment during the
implementation and testing phases, so if you only need to simply
download a "clean" repository once, and not have to connect to any
mirrors, then that's a good news to me.

I've read a few correspondences in which you wrote about it, and I'm
very much interested in trying it out. The thing is, our
production environment will be FreeBSD/postgres, so my first
priority is to try running and developing a portal with Jetspeed on
FreeBSD/postgres, and to verify that Jetspeed indeed provides the
functions we need.
After that, I will need to setup a development environment, so I'm
expecting your new tutorial with Eclipse will be a great reference.

Steve, thank you for taking the time to write this, it was very
valuable and I will include your suggestions in the next revision of
this tutorial.
I am planning to have this new tutorial ready to be included in the
2.1.3 release coming out within a few weeks
Hearing you say "by the end of section-1 I had a working Jetspeed
install" was cool indeed!

Re: ClassCastException when building the JetExpress tutorial
Posted by Steve - old <st...@browsermedia.com>.
David,
I have found your new tutorial very useful. It was the first Jetspeed Tutorial from which I actually
created a working Jetspeed install. I am also learning to use Eclipse with this project (My dev
environment has been IDEA) so I can follow the tutorial and posts to this mail-list.
Here is some end-user feedback from where I struggled (not to criticize - meant purely as
constructive feedback):
1) http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/01/first-steps.html you offer a link to the
"Tutorial Download Location". When I click this link I found 4 files which confused me - which do I
need? Where do I expand them? I would suggest the tutorial say something like,
"You will find the following 4 files: jetexpress.zip, express-demo.zip, Jetspeed-installer,
jetspeed-libraries.zip. In this tutorial we will expand the jetexpress.zip in directory
/JetspeedTraining/. Expand jetspeed-libraries into directory /JetspeedTraining/libraries/. We will
use the express-demo.zip in section-03 of this tutorial."
2) There is actually an instruction hidden (IMHO) in
http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/references/tutorial_distribution.html. The setup
of the JETSPEED_LIBRARY I suggest be a tutorial step rather than a file description. I suggest any
step _required_ by the tutorial should be described _in the tutorial_, and not in a link off of the
tutorial (though I understand this is difficult in a ever-growing and -changing project like Jetspeed).
3) The tutorial in later pages assumes a certain directory structure. I suggest it be described in
this first page while you tell users which files to expand and where. For example, in describing the
changes to build.properties you offer the example:
app.server.home = /JetspeedTraining/servers/tomcat-express
I did not know how this path translated to my local file system. From this and the rest of the
tutorial I have gleaned that your examples assume the jetexpress.zip was expanded into a directory
called /JetspeedTraining/. This is also where my Eclipse newbiness hampered me as I did now know how
to define a new "workspace" to use this directory - but as you say in other posts, that was *my*
problem and beyond the scope of the tutorial.
4) http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/01/install-it.html says "if you are following
the training material, the Tomcat directory is located under /JetspeedTraining/tomcat-express/".
Actually it is "/JetspeedTraining/servers/tomcat-express/".
5) http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/01/install-it.html perhaps should indicate
what values we should use when running the installer. Now, in hind-site, I suppose you mention in
the bullets "/JetspeedTraining/tomcat-express/" to say this is the value I should tell the installer
is my "Tomcat Home".
6) <soapbox> A hint I would offer any new users on the first page is, "If you deviate from these
instructions, you may find later steps do not work. I suggest you change values or settings only
after you have got the tutorial working." I imagine new users come to Jetspeed with their own
project in mind; so, as they follow the tutorial they tweak a step here and their not realizing that
the effects of those tweaks which might make later instructions not work. For example, "For the
purposes of the tutorial, stick to the included tomcat, and use derby; once that works, then try to
change databases or Tomcat locations."</soapbox>
These were just thoughts I had while following the tutorial. I hope they are received as
constructive criticisms and NOT as complaints. By the end of section-1 I had a working Jetspeed
install - way cool!

Well, this is the current recommended approach:
http://wiki.apache.org/portals/Jetspeed2/Maven2BuildSupport
backed by the tutorial:
http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2/
Recently, due to complaints from newbies about the difficulties of
using Maven-2, I decided to try a simpler method of building, with
Ant + Eclipse as described here:
http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/index.html
So I recommend trying the Ant + Eclipse approach if you are having
trouble with the recommended Maven-2 tutorial, or just Maven-2 itself
Beware that the Ant Tutorial only goes as far as section 01 a
I was hoping to receive feedback about how easy it was to use and if
people found the getting started section, which they usually have so
much difficulty with, easier than Maven
Thus far I haven't really had an useful feedback to help me

Hello,
This is to follow up on my own posting last week.
After asking the question last week, I did some more searching on
the mailing list and found out you can download the entire
repository, so I downloaded
http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven2/repository.zip, removed the
<Mirrors> section from settings.xml, generated the jetexpress portal
and built it.
I've finally got "mvn -P tomcat,min" to end successfully :-)
Now I can move on to the next step.
Could someone please confirm if this actually was the correct way to
build a custom portal?
Thank you and best regards,
Sari

Well, I actually tried that when I was trying to solve the problem,
but in my case, I got "The plugin 'X' does not exist or no valid
version could be found" messages for a few plugins.
I was able to solve the problem by downloading the entire repository
first and not using the mirrors entry, and everything is moving on
just smoothly now.
Tnank you all the same for sharing your tip.

I encountered the same problem, took me a good half day to figure it our the
solution. It's confusing, but To generate the portal, you need the mirrors
as suggested before, however, for build the portal, you have to remove the
entry.
just remove the following from you setting.xml.. will do
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>central.mirror</id>
<name>Mirror http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</name>
<url>http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven2</url>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
it works for me.
