 | build.bat problems in Crowd 1.2.0 for Windows environments
There is a problem with build.bat in Crowd version 1.2.0. To fix the problem, please apply the patch described in CWD-638.
You will need to run build.bat if you want to change the port that Crowd uses or configure Crowd to use an external database. |
By default, Crowd 'Standalone' is shipped preconfigured with HSQL. This is fine for evaluation purposes, but for production installations, you should connect Crowd to an enterprise database. This also lets you take advantage of existing database backup and recovery procedures.
The following instructions will allow you to configure Crowd to an external database:
Database Overview
The Crowd Standalone distribution includes the Apache Tomcat application server and an in-memory HSQL database engine. This JNDI reference (CrowdDS) can be adjusted to use your custom database and driver by editing the crowd.xml deployment description.You will also need to edit the file build.properties, and run the script build.xml, as described in 4.1 Important Files. The two relevant properties in the build.properties file are:
- hibernate.dialect
- hibernate.transaction.factory_class
These are described as follows.
