Internet Shop in Ajax

Ajax Shop Project.

Configuring Tomcat in order to deploy the web application

• Logging must be configured through log4j. A sample log4j.properties file is present in the doc/ directory of the project. Edit it and copy it to {CATALINA_HOME}/common/classes/ log4j.properties.

• The following libraries (JAR files) are needed (place them in WEB-INF/lib in your webapp directory, or in the shared/lib directory):
  • GWT servlet library (gwt-servlet.jar)
  • Hibernate library (hibernate3.jar)
  • MySQL JDBC driver (jdbc-mysql.jar)

• In addition, you may also have to add the following libraries, which seem to be dependencies of Hibernate:
  • DOM4J library (dom4j.jar)
  • Code Generation Library (cglib-nodep.jar). If you use the version with dependencies (cglib.jar), you will have to add additional libraries required by cglib (see below)
  • Java Transaction API (jta.jar)

• Code Generation Library Dependencies (incomplete):
  • ASM (many JARs, depending on the version of ASM chosen)

Important Note: Since they are JAR files, put them in lib/, not classes/ !

Note: Under Gentoo, it is recommended to install all these packages using Portage. Then create symlinks from the Tomcat directories to the actual JARs.
