Quick Guide to using the new Turbine 5.1 maven archetype for skeleton application generation

About this archetype

Turbine Version: Turbine 5.1.

Docker Setup

Skip Local Database setup and read later DOCKER-README.md

Local database Setup

First, you should have a local database installed and configured prior to beginning the application setup below.

As we are using MySQL by default you need to create the database in MySQL (server version should be at least 5.5, because of new sql driver), e.g. with

mysql -u -p mysql> create database helloWorld; mysql> \q

or other tools. The database should have been started and the database user granted enough rights.

Maven archetype

Next, you can invoke the Maven archetype for turbine-webapp-5.0 from the command line as shown below - please update values starting with ‘groupId’ as appropriate.

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.turbine \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=turbine-webapp-5.1 \
  -DarchetypeVersion=2.0.0-SNAPSHOT \
  -DgroupId=com.mycompany.webapp \
  -DartifactId=myhelloworld \
  -Dversion=1.0 \
  -Dturbine_app_name=HelloWorld \
  -Dturbine_database_adapter=mysql \
  -Dturbine_database_user=db_username \
  -Dturbine_database_password=db_password \
  -Dturbine_database_name=helloworld \
  -Dturbine_database_timezone=UTC \
  -Dturbine_database_url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ \
  -Dgoals=generate-sources,integration-test

Docker integration (short intro)

N.B. Change dabase url to use service id and set docker environment to true:

-Dturbine_database_url=jdbc:mysql://db:3306/ \
-Ddocker=true

to immediately enable docker setup, when generating the archetype.

Currently only port 3306 is supported, if you do not want ot change the port seetings for the db container in docker-compose.yml

You then need not to follow the following chapters, but could immediately go to

cd <project>/target/docker-resources

and then follow the instructions in DOCKER-README.md. In short you may do the following:

docker compose configurable
docker compose build --no-cache
docker compose up

Development

You may use

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local

to avoid declaring the archetype variables.

This requires you provide a local catalog in $HOME.m2\archetype-catalog.xml. Find further information here: https://maven.apache.org/archetype/archetype-models/archetype-catalog/archetype-catalog.html.

Example

<archetype-catalog ...> org.apache.turbine turbine-webapp-5.1 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT This archetype sets up a web application project based on Apache Turbine 5.0

Notes

When invoking archetype:generate like above, you already have set Turbine goals generate-sources,integration-test and you can then skip them later.

Be aware, when you set both mvn commands goals (which are maven phases actually), i.e with

-Dgoals=generate-sources, integration-test

you have to create the database (see above) before finishing the (interactive) archetype commands. Otherwise you could catch up doing this later and after that is done calling the phases afterwards as mentioned below.

turbine_database_url

Note that the database URL (turbine_database_url) will be appended with your database name in the final pom.xml, so you do not need to specify that in the configuration.

Project Start and Usage

Next, change into the newly generated project folder, in our case

cd myhelloworld

Skip next two steps, if the build was successfull.

mvn generate-sources

This will generate the OM layer and SQL code for creating the corresponding database tables.

mvn integration-test

This executes the SQL code to create the application schema defined in src/main/torque-schema.

You should now check the database tables and if some data is missing insert the sample data file in sample-mysql-data (Torque 4.0 has disabled the datasql task).

mvn clean install 

If you get an error like “The driver has not received any packets” probably the database is not up and running or the port may be another one.

Last step on the command line is run the server by invoking mvn -Pjetty

Logs

Find the Logs in src/main/webapp/logs and

Application

Open a web browser to [http://localhost:8081/app]

Login should work with user admin/password or user/password.

Background

By default Intake is used as an validation mechanism for authentication. You can change to the default login by setting

action.login=LoginUser in TurbineResources.properties and changing Login.vm appropriately (commented form)

Tests

Prerequisites

  • ignored tests require at least Turbine version 4.0.1
  • database was build successfully e.g. with archetype.
  • running mysql

If running from integration test, check/update

  • in pom.xml turbine.core property,
  • target/test-classes/projects/first/project/integrationtest/src/test/conf/torque/TorqueTest.properties or META-INF/maven/archetype-metadata.xml

The security test is by default skipped as it requires a running mysql. It tests many of the Fulcrum Torque Turbine security aspects, activate it by calling

mvn test -DskipTests=false

CAVEAT: If initialization fails, double check your database credentials! If invalid the error might be somewhat hidden behind a Torque exception!

IDE Integration, Eclipse

To enable application development in Eclipse, run the following command and then import the project into Eclipse.

mvn eclipse:eclipse

Once imported, update your project to be managed by Maven -> Right click on the project name -> Configure -> Convert to Maven project

To test the application can be deployed by Eclipse, select the run configuration “Run On Server” if you have a container configured with your eclipse environment.

Eclipse Debugging

You even could debug the app by setting the environment variable to something like this

set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n

before running the jetty server.

Starting developing

Be aware of settings and some smaller restrictions, which mostly will be fixed in the upcoming releases.

  • Keep groups/roles lower case (which should be fixed in Fulcrum Security 1.1.1/Turbine 4.0)
  • abstract classes and managers are included (because of some minor bugs in Fulcrum Security 1.1.0, same as above)
  • LogoutUser action is included (fix in Turbine 4.0, getUserFromSession)
  • LoginUser action is included (to check for anonymous user, may be fixed in future release)
  • OM (Torque Object Mapper) stub classes are included (until configurable in schema with Torque version 2.1)
  • TurbineConfiguration returns a Commons configuration object, even if field is not assignable (will be fixed in Turbine 4.0, you can then assign e.g. to String instead, cft. SecureScreen)
  • Database connection is done initially by default with JNDI. If you want to change it, check Torque.properties and (1) for Tomcat, META-INF/context.xml or (2) for Jetty, WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml.
