Prerequisites
- A DB which is capable to use character encoding UTF-8. Well suited and used here is Oracle XE
- Access to the coremedia software. You must have an coremedia account and a valid license to walk through this tutorial.
- Masochism!
Installation and preparations Step-By-Step
- Download Coremedia 5.2
- Start the installer with
java -jar cap-5.2.1259.jar
- At the DB-Settings-Dialog enter XE as SID not CM
- Put the Oracle JDBC-Driver into <INST_DIR>\lib
- After that go to your Oracle DB and create a ne USER (COREM/COREM) with the Oracle Admin Console
- Adjust your
JAVA_HOMEat- <INST_DIR>\bin\preconfig.jpif and
- <INST_DIR>\jakarta-tomcat\bin\preconfig.jpif
- Start the contentserver with „<INST_DIR>\bin\cm contentserver run“ and examine the output under <INST_DIR>\var\log\contentserver.log
- Start the coremedia editor with „<INST_DIR>\bin\cm editor start“ and login with admin/admin
Aktivate the sample doctypes
- Goto <INST_DIR>\config\contentserver\doctypes and open sample-doctypes.xml.
- Remove the commented out doctypes and save the file.
- Stop and Start the contentserver and the editor again.
- Do you see some changes?
Prepare the CAE
- Generate the „ContentBean“-Classes from the new DocTypes
- Goto <INST_DIR>\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\contentapplicationengine-template\WEB-INF\lib
- Start the BeanGenerator with: java -jar beangenerator.jar -d <INST_DIR>\config\contentserver\doctypes\sample-doctypes.xml -o ..\classes -p net.payback -beanmapping ..\spring\cae-contentbeans-test123.xml -generics
- check ..\spring\cae-contentbeans-test123.xml
- Compile the classes.
- Goto <INST_DIR>\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\contentapplicationengine-template\WEB-INF\classes\net\payback
- Start the compiler: <INST_DIR>\bin\cm javac Look.java LookBase.java LookImpl.java Picture.java PictureBase.java PictureImpl.java Text.java TextBase.java TextImpl.java
- create a new Directory: <INST_DIR>\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\contentapplicationengine-template\WEB-INF\templates\net.payback
- Put your first template in: Text.jsp
- Supply this simple code and save the file:
<h2>${self.titel}</h2>
${self.text}
First Testdrive
- Prepare Tomcat
- Goto <INST_DIR>\jakarta-tomcat\conf and open tomcat-users.xml
- Add the role <role rolename=“manager-gui“/> and associate it with the user tomcat
<user username=“tomcat“ password=“tomcat“ roles=“tomcat,manager-gui„/> - Start Tomcat with <INST_DIR>\jakarta-tomcat\bin\cm httpd run
- Check the tomcat-manager (http://localhost:8001/manager/html) if the app /contentapplicationengine-template is running.
- Go to the Coremedia Editor and create a directory „Payback“ and a new resource of type „Text“.
- Supply a Title and a Text.
- Save the new resource.
- While the resource is still selected in the editor hit the blue (i)-Button and copy the id from „ID: coremedia:///cap/content/104“ (example)
- Now have a look on it here: http://localhost:8001/contentapplicationengine-template/servlet/content/104
=> Next we examine some files underneath the <INST_DIR>\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\contentapplicationengine-template\WEB-INF\ Directory
