How to deploy jBPM 3.2.2 console on Oracle 10g iAS

Question

Does anybody have experience regarding deployment of the jBPM Administration Console on Oracle 10g iAS?

I successfully deployed it using an .ear, security mappings working, I can even login to the console, Hibernate finds the JNDI datasource but it cannot find the TransactionManager. I see no log, only the exception thrown in the jsf page:

Can anybody help me?

The hibernate.cfg.xml file now looks like this:

  <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

---- edit ---

I have already tried the hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class to set to the JBoss version (org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup) it did not work...well it's not that suprising...I'll try now: org.hibernate.transaction.OC4JTransactionManagerLookup

I tried with CMT instead of JTA, but it didn't work also.

Answer 1

Finally I have succeeded, thanx to Vanger's suggestion for restarting. Maybe it's trivial but may help to someone, so I share it.

Previously I used an EAR and used the enterprise version of the WAR and probably that messed up the libraries.

A. In the WAR file I had change some files:

web.xml:

• setup the "user" security role, remove the "admin"

hibernate.cfg.xml:

Uncomment these lines and change the lookup class to OC4JTransactionManager:

<property name="hibernate.transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JTATransactionFactory</property>
<property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class">org.hibernate.transaction.OC4JTransactionManagerLookup</property>

B. The libraries have to be provided in the applib folder

C. During deployment you have to map the "user" role to the given Security Providers role.

Answer 2

Have you tried setting this property?
