Activiti Modeller installation

[tobiasw_]

Hello,

I tried to follow those instructions in order to install the signavio modeller.

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/How+to+build+Activiti+Modeler+from+Signavio

I checked out the signavio trunk into c:\signavio.

Activiti is installed under c:\activiti-5.7

These are my build properties:

dir-tomcat-webapps = C:/activiti-5.7/apps/apache-tomcat-6.0.32/webapps

target = target

version=1.0.0

war = signaviocore

configuration = default

host = http://localhost:8080

fileSystemRootDirectory = C:/activiti-5.7/workspace/activiti-engine-examples
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I found: C:\Signavio\target\signaviocore.war. I guess this is the desired war file.

However, now I do not really understand how to go on…

Where does the war file go? How would I open the modeler (http://localhost:8080/signaviocore/p/explorer)?

My installation output:

C:\Signavio>ant build-all-in-one-war
Buildfile: C:\Signavio\build.xml

Hello Tobias,

the war file must be put to the webapps folder of a Tomcat server. As the modeller doesn't require the activiti engine at all, any Tomcat >6 can be used, I guess.
Nevertheless you can use the Tomcat shipped with Activiti 5.7, too. You should find it under C:\Activit-5.7\apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.32 in your installation.

Running the Activiti-Demo (C:\Activiti-5.7\setup\ant demo.start) will start the Tomcat server. As soon as you copy the signaviocore.war into the webapps-folder, the modeller will be deployed and will have the default URL (http://localhost:8080/signaviocore/p/explorer).

In build.properties of the Signavio Core Components project you can specify the path to your Tomcat:
dir-tomcat-webapps = C:\activiti-5.7\apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.32\webapps
Having done that, it is easier to call the following ant target in the correlating build.xml:
build-and-deploy-all-in-one-war-to-tomcat
In the same build.properties the path to a repository for the modeller is defined:
fileSystemRootDirectory = <your repo directory>When deploying the modeler, this directory must exist already. Otherwise you'll get an error during the deployment.

I hope it helps as I have already gone through it  .

Sweet, thanks David.

I just did

ant build-all-in-one-war
instead of
build-and-deploy-all-in-one-war-to-tomcat.

Now it works.

Cheers,
Tobi
