Some Questions before I install

[unknown-user]

Hi there,

I'm thinking about to integrate OpenWorkDesk in my environment. In there runs currently Jboss 5,1, GateIn 3.1, Nuxeo DM 5.1 and Hippo HST 7.6 as CMIS Client runs as an Portlet inside GateIn Portal. Everything is stored in PostgreSQL 9 databases.

So first question is PostgreSQL supported?
Can I work with JNDI Datasource on this Software?
Has OpenWorkDesk some classes to run as an JSR 168/286 Portlet?
Is Jboss supported? Currently 5.1 and next year 7.0

cheers
Darko

Hi minimike,

so let me try to give some advice concerning your questions  :roll:

So first question is PostgreSQL supported?

Officially PostgreSQL is not supported and has never been tested, but it should work fine as it is a database quite similar to MySQL (which is supported) and also SQL can be used to communicate with PostgreSQL. You would only have to use the correct JDBC driver and it should work.

Can I work with JNDI Datasource on this Software?

Yes you can. OpenWorkdesk comes along with JNDI support as it is OpenWorkdesk´s standard mechanism to connect to the different supported databases (MySQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, MS SQL). You would just have to configure the JNDI datasource on your application server and make an corresponding entry in the owbootstrap.xml file in the WEB-INF/conf/cmis OpenWorkdesk deployment directory, like the following example:

   <DefaultDataSource>
      <JNDIName>java:/PostgreSQL</JNDIName>
   </DefaultDataSource>‍‍‍

Has OpenWorkDesk some classes to run as an JSR 168/286 Portlet?

So far, OpenWorkdesk is not able to run as JSR 168/286 Portlet…

Is Jboss supported? Currently 5.1 and next year 7.0

OpenWorkdesk Professional and Enterprise Edition are fully supported by and successfully tested with Jboss 5.1. For OpenWorkdesk Community Edition we recommend using Apache Tomcat, but it should also run on other application servers like Jboss, IBM WebSphere or Oracle WebLogic. Jboss version 7.0 is currently only available as Release Candidate and therefore has not been tested yet with OpenWorkdesk, but in general OpenWorkdesk should run on every J2EE application server.
