Introduction
Preparing Bedework for production involves modifying the configuration files for your site, either by editing them directly or using the JMX console. It should not be necessary to rebuild Bedework.
The steps are as follows:
- Execute the deployConf target – this is required to set up correct paths in the configuration files which are installed in the system (which are platform dependent). Do this once only as it will overwrite any changes you make. Make all future configuration changes in the JMX-Console.
- Ensure the quickstart works as distributed – it comes with a base set of data. Ensure the clients work and try some of the functions.
- Copy and edit the -ds.xml file for each database. There are four datasource files - one for each database. Set the <connection-url>, <user-name>, and <password> in each file.
- Change the hibernate dialect -- to match the database
- Make remaining changes to your configuration (using the JMX-Console)
The pages that follow explain these steps.
