Alfresco 3.1 on Websphere 6.1, using Oracle 10

[dao]

Hi,
I'm trying to install Alfresco 3.1 on Websphere 6.1 with java 1.5 and Oracle 10.2.0. I've already deployed it and when I try to access my alfresco app I've got this following huge error :

I followed the installation tutorial (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_on_WebSphere) and created an /apps/alfresco/lib/alfresco/extension directory which contains :
custom-hibernate-dialect.properties

 
#
# Oracle dialect
#
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect
‍‍‍‍‍‍

custom-repository.properties

#
# Sample database connection properties
#
db.username=a_username
db.password=a_password
db.pool.initial=10
db.pool.max=100
…
#
# Oracle connection
#
db.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@an_address:1521:AN_DB_SID
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

custom-repository-context.xml

…
<!– Override basic repository properties –>
<value>classpath:alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties</value>
…
<!– Override hibernate dialect –>
<value>classpath:alfresco/extension/custom-hibernate-dialect.properties</value>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I don't understand the latest error (Hibernate Dialect must be explicitly set) I did precise the hibernate dialect in the custom-hibernate-dialect.properties, so I don't get it 😕 And I don't understand all the rest of this error…

Thanks for your help,

Hi Dao,

I had to use the following parameter in my custom-hibernate-cfg.properties file to connect to Oracle 10g XE on Labs 3. I would think the configuration would be similar if not the same on Alfresco 3.1.  I also noticed that the Wiki page was written up to deploy with Alfresco 2.1, so read with caution.

hibernate.dialect=org.alfresco.repo.domain.hibernate.dialect.AlfrescoOracle10gDialect‍

When using this dialect, make sure it exists in the the following:

… alfresco-repository.jar\org\alfresco\repo\domain\hibernate\dialect\AlfrescoOracle10gDialect.class

You should be able to find the alfresco-repository.jar in your alfresco.war\WEB-INF\lib folder.

It took me awhile to finally get this right.

Thanks for your answer
But why should I configure custom-hibernate-cfg.properties and not custom-hibernate-dialect.properties ?

[dao]

Anyway, AlfrescoOracle10gDialect.class  doesn't exist in alfresco-repository.jar\org\alfresco\repo\domain\hibernate\dialect\ Only AlfrescoOracle9Dialect exists in this directory 😕

Thanks for your answer
But why should I configure custom-hibernate-cfg.properties and not custom-hibernate-dialect.properties ?

It should not matter what you call your custom file as long as the filename is registered in the /alfresco/hibernate-context.xml file as such:

    <bean id="hibernateConfigProperties" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/domain/hibernate-cfg.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/extension/custom-hibernate-cfg.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You would need to add the following:

<value>classpath:alfresco/extension/custom-hibernate-dialect.properties</value>‍

[dao]

<value>classpath:alfresco/extension/custom-hibernate-dialect.properties</value>‍

I added this line to my hibernate-context.xml and placed this last in /lib/alfresco/. Unfortunately I still have this huge error…
Besides, I tried to use

hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect‍

instead of Oracle10gDialect, but still the same error 😕

Hi,
Obviously Websphere is not yet supported, not before Alfresco 3.2 : http://www.alfresco.com/services/support/stacks/3.x/

Anyway, thanks for your answers
dao.
