Hi,I downloaded activity through Eclipse software manager. I want to build it with mysql database support. So, I would like use JNDI however I cannot find primary spring configuration files as I guided it in the activiti user guide. I dont have any directory on my computer called activiti-webapp-exp

Hi,

it seems like you installed the Activiti BPMN2.0 Designer plugin for Eclipse. This plugin mainly provides BPMN2.0 modelling features.
To download the Activiti framework please visit http://activiti.org/download.html .

Hi,

Well, actually I have already downloaded this file. And opened the war file via Eclipse. I cannot find this database configuration files, actually I do not have mentioned directories. I missed something during installation but I don't know what.

Regards.

Uhm … I'm not sure what you are expecting … Eclipse is an IDE. The war goes into a web container. Those two are not the same…

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I am looking inside the war file that I downloaded from Activiti website and the files that I downloaded through Eclipse (with opening Activiti project), but I cannot find the folders that I have to place necessary configuration files for to use external database like mysql.

Regards

It's really not clear what you are trying to do. If you are trying to change the database settings in the Activiti Explorer you should look for a file name db.properties.

Best regards,

Okay, Now I understand my mistake. I need to build activiti with maven but I just tried to fetch the files with eclipse then change setting and deploy. So, as far I understand it doesnt work in this way.

Am I right with these?

The steps should be like this:

Download the activiti from git source not the one on download page.
Change the database configuration files ``JNDI Datasource Configuration``
Build it with maven then deploy

Hi

Instead of activiti-standalone-context.xml and activiti-context.xm I have activiti-custom-context.xml fıles under resources folder. Shall I use these ones to configure JNDI?
<code>To switch the Activiti Explorer and Activiti Rest web apps from db.properties configuration to JNDI datasource configuration, open the primary Spring configuration files (activiti-webapp-explorer2/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/activiti-standalone-context.xml and activiti-webapp-rest2/src/main/resources/activiti-context.xml), and delete the beans named "dbProperties" and "dataSource". Then, add the following bean:</code>

I think Activiti has changed its database configuration system and it is not documented yet.

Yes indeed. Simply overwrite the datasource in the activiti-custom-context.xml and use the Spring wrapper for jndi datasources

Hello,

I just wanted to comment here that I managed to use mysql with the latest version of Activiti. I fetched Activiti Webbapp2 from github then I modified the src/main/java/org/activiti/explorer/conf/ActivitiEngineConfiguration.java then built the package with maven. If anyone get stacked please feel free to ask from here.

Thanks.
