Blogging Roller

This is what I added to OC4J/config/data-sources.xml:

  <data-source   
    class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource" 
    name="rollerdb" location="jdbc/rollerdb" 
    connection-driver="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" 
    username="scott" 
    password="tiger" 
    url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/roller?autoReconnect=true" 
    inactivity-timeout="30" 
    schema="database-schemas/my-sql.xml" /> 

  <resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/rollerdb</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
  </resource-ref>

It is late and I'm tired of this experiment in install-blogging, so I'm gonna call it a night. I hope I haven't bored you to tears and caused you to unsubscribe from my RSS feed. I'll wrap things up tomorrow night and give you a final report.

  <init-param>
    <param-name>javaccmd</param-name>
    <param-value>/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1/bin/javac</param-value>
  </init-param>

  <compiler executable="javac"
    classpath="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1/jre/lib/rt.jar" />

I dumped Roller in OC4J/home/roller and then added the following to OC4J/home/config/server.xml:

   <application name="roller" path="../roller" />

   <web-module id="roller" path="../../home/roller" />

   <web-app application="default" name="roller" root="/roller" />

No docs were included in the 24MB OC4J download, so I hit the Oracle OTN site and found the Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE User's Guide. Chapter 2 is what I want. I think I want to run just a single instance, but the docs make that sounds a little naughty - "this undermines the enterprise management provided by the Enterprise Manager." Whatever. Uh oh, Leo is awake and he is not happy about his cold.
