About this archetype
This is a maven archetype to generate a skeleton Turbine application.
The base Turbine version is Turbine 4.0.
First, find the remote arcehtype or generate a local one.
mvn archetype:generate
Find turbine-webapp-4.0 in remote archetype catalog and select current version.
Checkout Git master/trunk and install into locale repository
git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/turbine-archetypes.git cd turbine-archetypes mvn install
Outlook: After the snapshot archetype is installed and the database is set up (see below), just add -DarchetypeCatalog=local as argument (see below), when generating the Turbine application.
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local -Dturbine_database_name=db_name ...
Second, you should have a local database installed and configured prior to beginning the application setup below.
As we are (currently) using MySQL by default you need to create the database in MySQL, e.g. with
mysql -u <privileged_user> -p mysql> create database <db_name>; mysql> \q
or other tools. The database should have been started and the database user granted enough rights.
Next, you can invoke the Maven archetype for turbine-webapp-4.0 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-4.0 \ -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.2-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=db_name \ -Dturbine_database_url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ \ -Dgoals=generate-sources,pre-integration-test
When invoking archetype:generate like above, you already have set Turbine Maven goals generate-sources, pre-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, pre-integration-test
you have to create the database (see above) before finishing the (interactive) archetype commands. Otherwise you could catch up doing this later (cft. below, Project Start, which requires the database setup is finished).
Note that the database URL (-Dturbine_database_url=<turbine_database_url>) will be appended with your database name (-Dturbine_database_name=db_name) in the final pom.xml, so you do not need to specify that in the configuration.
Next, change into the newly generated project folder, in our case
cd myhelloworld
Skip next two steps, if the build was successfull (requires database setup is finished)
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 jetty:run
Now you can launch your new Turbine application! Have fun!
Find the Logs in src/main/webapp/logs.
Open a web browser to http://localhost:8081/app
Hint: find the port in the configuration of the jetty-maven-plugin Archetype pom template.
Login should work with user admin/password or user/password.
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).
Prerequisites
If running from integration test, check/update
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!
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.
You 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.
Be aware of settings and some smaller restrictions, which mostly will be fixed in the upcoming releases.
We are in the process t provide a Docker example, which will simplify the installation process, if properly done. Contact us!
If you get that goal integration-test of maven-archetype-plugin fails with
“Cannot run additions goals.” cft. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-488.
Fastest workaround (Dez 2016) ist to copy mvn.cmd to mvn.bat.
