020225_2 EE win2000 , jdk1.4 According to HIE orion web db doc (in http://devtools.eng/teams/HIE/projects/Jasper/Orion/orion_web_db.html#exec) in the session "Execute a web application with database access in a web server integrated with the IDE" it said "...If, however, all the driver files are not packaged as JARs, or the user does not want to include the driver files within their web module, then the appropriate driver files must be explicitly included in the web server's execution classpath that is set from within the IDE. This can be done in one of two methods: 1.Mount the JDBC driver file (zip or jar) in the IDE using any of the Mount Filesystem mechanisms (New..., context menu off the Filesystems node, etc.) 2.Set the "External Execution Process" property editor by adding the driver file path and name to the -cp argument in the Arguments field. (This will work for Tomcat 4.0, but we should also make sure that iAS 7.0 has this same property). The problem is that just using 1) does not work. I'm getting a database connection error. The behavior in the IDE is different than what described in the HIE doc.
Because we reduced the Tomcat classpath for performance reasons, the right process is this: 1. For establishing direct JDBC connection from application to server is used: a) DB ZIP driver files can be - either the TC classpath - or in WEB-INF/lib directory renamed to .jar file - or in tomcat401/lib directory renamed to .jar file b) DB JAR driver files can be - either the TC classpath - or in WEB-INF/lib directory - or in tomcat401/lib directory (the IDE do it automatically for pointbase driver) The HIE doc has to be changed.
I would like to leave it open until the doc has been changed. Therefore I reopen the issue.
The design document has been changed. This issue will be revisited when the projects infrastructure becomes available.
