Flexive needs several libraries to be deployed to the application server's internal lib directories. Execute these steps once glassfish has been setup.

Setting up Glassfish

Starting Glassfish

Three connection pools, two for the division (transactional and non-transactional) and one for the configuration database, have to be set up.

Copy and paste the following data-source definitions to a file (e.g. flexive-ds.xml) and update your database connection settings:

                <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE resources PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems Inc.//DTD Application Server 9.0 Domain//EN" "sun-resources_1_3.dtd">
<resources>
    <!--
        Glassfish datasource configuration

        To add these datasource, start Glassfish v2, and execute
        ${glassfish.home}/bin/asadmin add-resources /path/to/flexive-ds.xml
    -->

    <!-- Configure the global configuration datasource -->
    
    <jdbc-connection-pool
        name="flexiveConfiguration"
        datasource-classname="com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlXADataSource"
        res-type="javax.sql.XADataSource">
        <property name="user" value="root"/>
        <property name="password" value="a"/>
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/flexiveConfiguration?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf8&amp;characterResultSets=utf8"/>
    </jdbc-connection-pool>

    <jdbc-resource pool-name="flexiveConfiguration" jndi-name="jdbc/flexiveConfiguration" enabled="true" object-type="user"/>


    <!-- Configure the first flexive division -->

    <jdbc-connection-pool
        name="flexiveDivision1"
        datasource-classname="com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlXADataSource"
        res-type="javax.sql.XADataSource">
        <property name="user" value="root"/>
        <property name="password" value="a"/>
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/flexive?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf8&amp;characterResultSets=utf8"/>
    </jdbc-connection-pool>

    <jdbc-resource pool-name="flexiveDivision1" jndi-name="jdbc/flexiveDivision1" enabled="true" object-type="user"/>

    <!-- Configure the first flexive division non-XA datasource -->

    <jdbc-connection-pool
        name="flexiveDivision1NoTX"
        datasource-classname="com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource"
        res-type="javax.sql.DataSource">
        <property name="user" value="root"/>
        <property name="password" value="a"/>
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/flexive?useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf8&amp;characterResultSets=utf8"/>
    </jdbc-connection-pool>

    <jdbc-resource pool-name="flexiveDivision1NoTX" jndi-name="jdbc/flexiveDivision1NoTX" enabled="true" object-type="user"/>

</resources>
            

While Glassfish is running, execute ${glassfish.home}/bin/asadmin add-resources /path/to/flexive-ds.xml to create the connection pools and JDBC resources. You have to pass the absolute path to your XML file, otherwise Glassfish looks in its own config directory.

Should you need to edit or reset your datasources, you can do so in the Glassfish administration console under Resources → JDBC.

Change to the flexive-dist directory of your [fleXive] distribution and run ant ear. This will create the flexive.ear file inside the flexive-dist directory.
