Configuring The 'Properties' Settings Files

The caArray source contains a installation settings are mainly specified by a source file, install.properties, which specifies caArray installation settings. The path for this file whose path is:

$CAARRAY_HOME/software/master_build/install.properties

where $CAARRAY_HOME represents the root folder into which the caArray source was checked out (C:\source in this example).

A second file, local.properties, specifies additional settings. This file is not included in the repository -- you must manually create it yourself by opening a plain text editor and saving a blank file with the filename local.properties to the following path:

$CAARRAY_HOME/software/build/local.propertieswhere $CAARRAY_HOME represents the root folder into which the caArray source was checked out (C:\source in this example).

These files must be customized with the settings specific to your local environment before starting the build process. These settings include:

• The username of the root account you established when installing MySQL ('root' by default), as specified by the database.system.user field property
• The password of the root account you established when installing MySQL, as specified by the database.system.password field property
• The name of your database server (usually the same as the Windows name of your workstation or server), as specified by the database.server field property
• The port your database server is installed on (47210 by default), as specified by the database.port field property
• The database name you established when manually creating the database schema, as specified by the database.name field property
• The username of the user to whom you granted access to this database, as specified by the database.user field property
• The password of the user to whom you granted access to this database, as specified by database.password field property
• The path to which caArray should be installed, as specified by the application.base.path property

The install.properties file contains several other properties aside from the ones listed above, but these others do not need to be customized and can be left at their default values.

The blank local.properties file you created previously must be populated with all the properties listed above and their respective values, plus an additional field, jboss.home, which specifies the name of the subfolder within the root installation folder to which the JBoss server will be installed. The value of the jboss.home property is derived from the value of the application.base.path property in install.properties, with the text '\jboss-4.0.5.GA' appended. For example, if the value of the application.base.path property is C:\caArray, the corresponding value of the jboss.home property would be C:\caArray\jboss-4.0.5.GA.test
