jdbc Error with OpenVPMS 2.1.1

Implementation discussion

Hi Team

I'm testing out a fresh OpenVPMS 2.1.1 installation on a newly installed Debian Stretch system. Relevant software is:

- MySQL 5.7 with sql_mode set correctly

- MySQL Connector/J 8 connector from Oracle

- Tomcat 8 and openjdk-8-jre from Debian

With the mysql-connector .jar file in the OpenVPMS directory I get the following when using dbtool to create a new database:

./dbtool --create install -u root
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Property not found: jdbc.driverClassName

The Tomcat8 logs show a more verbose error, with extract here:

30 Jul 2019 03:05:20,543 WARN XmlWebApplicationContext,http-nio-8080-exec-3:544 - - Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Invalid bean definition with name 'dataSource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/openvpms-framework.xml]: Could not resolve placeholder 'jdbc.driverClassName' in string value "${jdbc.driverClassName}"; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'jdbc.driverClassName' in string value "${jdbc.driverClassName}"

I've also tried the connector from Debian's libmysql-java package with similar results.

Any tips on this one?

Cheers

Damien

Yep you need to use the

Ver 5 of the Connector

They changed the driverclass in 8

Under 5 it was

<name>driverClassName</name>

<value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value>

</parameter>

But using the Connector/8

<name>driverClassName</name>

<value>com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver</value>

</parameter>

Probably want to use

mysql-connector-java-5.1.48.tar.gz

Basically you just take the precompiled jar and make sure its in the 'lib' directory of the installation extraction

Its not included due to licencing issues

You could try updating hibernate.properties as well
