Deploying BroadleafCommerce 2.0 on JBoss AS 7

First 2 steps are not really related to Broadleaf specific, but mentioned to make it easy to follow(copy/paste) the steps.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Step#1: Configure DataSources in JBoss AS.

<datasource jta="true" jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafDS" pool-name="BroadleafDS_Pool" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
 <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/broadleaf</connection-url>
 <driver>mysql</driver>
 <security>
  <user-name>root</user-name>
  <password>admin</password>
 </security>
 <timeout>
  <idle-timeout-minutes>0</idle-timeout-minutes>
  <query-timeout>600</query-timeout>
 </timeout>
</datasource>
<datasource jta="true" jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafSecureDS" pool-name="BroadleafSecureDS_Pool" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
 <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/broadleaf</connection-url>
 <driver>mysql</driver>
 <security>
  <user-name>root</user-name>
  <password>admin</password>
 </security>
 <timeout>
  <idle-timeout-minutes>0</idle-timeout-minutes>
  <query-timeout>600</query-timeout>
 </timeout>
</datasource>
<datasource jta="true" jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafCmsDS" pool-name="BroadleafCmsDS_Pool" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
 <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/broadleaf</connection-url>
 <driver>mysql</driver>
 <security>
  <user-name>root</user-name>
  <password>admin</password>
 </security>
 <timeout>
  <idle-timeout-minutes>0</idle-timeout-minutes>
  <query-timeout>600</query-timeout>
 </timeout>
</datasource>

Step#2: Update core/src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml as follows to use DataSources configured in JBossAS7.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
             version="2.0">

    <persistence-unit name="blPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <non-jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafDS</non-jta-data-source>
        <exclude-unlisted-classes/>
    </persistence-unit>

    <persistence-unit name="blSecurePU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <non-jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafSecureDS</non-jta-data-source>
        <exclude-unlisted-classes/>
    </persistence-unit>

    <persistence-unit name="blCMSStorage" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <non-jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafCmsDS</non-jta-data-source>
        <exclude-unlisted-classes/>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Step#3: Update site/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml as follows:

<bean id="blMergedDataSources" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MapFactoryBean">
 <property name="sourceMap">
  <map>
   <entry key="java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafDS" value-ref="webDS"/>
   <entry key="java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafSecureDS" value-ref="webSecureDS"/>
   <entry key="java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafCmsDS" value-ref="webStorageDS"/>
  </map>
 </property>
</bean>

Now if you deploy the app you will get the following error:

ERROR Error creating bean with name ‘blMergedDataSources’ defined in resource loaded from byte array: Cannot resolve reference to bean ‘webDS’ while setting bean property ‘sourceMap’ with key [TypedStringValue: value , target type [null]]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘webDS’: Post-processing of the FactoryBean’s object failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: warning no match for this type name: org.broadleafcommerce.profile.core.service.CustomerAddressService [Xlint:invalidAbsoluteTypeName]

 Step#4: Create jboss-deployment-structure.xml in site/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ folder.

<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.0">
   <deployment>
      <dependencies>
         <module name="org.jboss.ironjacamar.jdbcadapters" />
      </dependencies>
      <exclusions>
            <module name="org.apache.commons.logging"/>
            <module name="org.apache.log4j"/>
            <module name="org.jboss.logging"/>
            <module name="org.jboss.logmanager"/>
            <module name="org.jboss.logmanager.log4j"/>
            <module name="org.slf4j"/>
      </exclusions>
   </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>

Now if you try to deploy the app you will get the following error because JBossAS7 comes with Hibernate4 and application is using some hibernate3 features.

@CollectionOfElements
 @JoinTable(name = "BLC_CATEGORY_IMAGE", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "CATEGORY_ID"))
 @MapKey(columns = { @Column(name = "NAME", length = 5, nullable = false) })
 @Column(name = "URL")
 @Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE, region="blStandardElements")
 @BatchSize(size = 50)
 @Deprecated
 protected Map<String, String> categoryImages = new HashMap<String, String>(10);

org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: java.util.Map, at table: BLC_CATEGORY, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(URL)]

So let us install hibernate3 module in JBossAS7 and use it.

Step#5: Install Hibernate 3 module in JBoss AS 7. 

Copy the following jars(you can get these from site.war file) into jboss-as-7.1.1.FINAL/modules/org/hibernate/3/ folder.

antlr-2.7.6.jar

commons-collections-3.2.1.jar

dom4j-1.6.1.jar

hibernate-commons-annotations-3.2.0.Final.jar

hibernate-core-3.6.10.Final.jar

hibernate-entitymanager-3.6.10.Final.jar

javassist-3.16.1-GA.jar

Create module.xml in jboss-as-7.1.1.FINAL/modules/org/hibernate/3/ folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="org.hibernate" slot="3">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="hibernate-core-3.6.10.Final.jar"/>  
        <resource-root path="javassist-3.16.1-GA.jar"/>
        <resource-root path="antlr-2.7.6.jar"/>  
        <resource-root path="commons-collections-3.2.1.jar"/>  
        <resource-root path="dom4j-1.6.1.jar"/>  
        <!-- Insert other Hibernate 3 jars to be used here -->
  <resource-root path="hibernate-commons-annotations-3.2.0.Final.jar"/>
  <resource-root path="hibernate-entitymanager-3.6.10.Final.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <dependencies>
        <module name="org.jboss.as.jpa.hibernate" slot="3"/>
        <module name="asm.asm"/>
        <module name="javax.api"/>
        <module name="javax.persistence.api"/>
        <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
        <module name="javax.validation.api"/>
        <!-- <module name="org.apache.ant"/> -->
        <module name="org.infinispan" optional="true"/>
        <module name="org.javassist"/>
        <module name="org.slf4j"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>

Step#6: Tell JBoss to use hibernate 3 module. Update core/src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
             version="2.0">
 <persistence-unit name="blPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <non-jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafDS</non-jta-data-source>
        <exclude-unlisted-classes/>
        <properties>
         <property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="org.hibernate:3" />
         <property name="jboss.as.jpa.managed" value="false" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>

    <persistence-unit name="blSecurePU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <non-jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafSecureDS</non-jta-data-source>
        <exclude-unlisted-classes/>
        <properties>
         <property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="org.hibernate:3" />
         <property name="jboss.as.jpa.managed" value="false" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>

    <persistence-unit name="blCMSStorage" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <non-jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/BroadleafCmsDS</non-jta-data-source>
        <exclude-unlisted-classes/>
        <properties>
         <property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="org.hibernate:3" />
         <property name="jboss.as.jpa.managed" value="false" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>
