Hi,I just installed Activity 5.1 and here are my feedbacks:I use Postgres 8.4 database server. Therefore I changed build.properties and also build.postgres.properties. For development, testing etc I work on a Windows 7 32-bit Workstation with 3 GB RAM. I run Sun JDK (1.6.0_22-b04). I wanted the late

Hi,

Did you install the demo first with database set to H2 before changing it to prostgres? If so, best is to clean the demo up when changing the db-setting, run "ant demo.stop" (if still running) and "ant demo.clean".
This should solve the tomcat-version issue as well I presume, if not, please let us know.

Missing spring-orm can be found in maven (http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-orm/3.0.3.RELEASE), we'll look into that to see if there is an issue with the inclusion of this library.

The webapps can be deployed to another tomcat without a problem. What needs to be altered for the webapps (cycle, explorer, probe) is the endpoint-configuration to use (should point to REST, default is localhost:8080) if your hostname/port is different. This can be done in the surf.xml in the WEB-INF folder of the webapps:


  <!– The activiti REST API endpoint –>
      <endpoint>
        <id>activiti-rest-endpoint</id>
        <name>Activiti REST Endpoint</name>
        <description>Access to Activiti REST webapp</description>
        <connector-id>activiti-rest</connector-id>
        <endpoint-url>http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service</endpoint-url>
        <basic-auth>true</basic-auth>
        <identity>user</identity>
      </endpoint>

Hi Frederik,

No, I first created the postgres db and account, changed the properties file and then started the build with ant.

If so, best is to clean the demo up when changing the db-setting, run "ant demo.stop" (if still running) and "ant demo.clean".
This should solve the tomcat-version issue as well I presume, if not, please let us know.

I did a clean and a re-install too. It did not change anything. I think it should be easy to reproduce. Simply set the tomcat version to 6.0.30. It does the download correctly, it simply looks to me like a hardcoded version is lurking somewhere in a xml file…

For the rest, I will download the spring-orm and I will try the deployment to a different instance of tomcat. Thank you for your help with that.

Thomas
