Startup Documentation

[Zarar Siddiqi]

Hi,

I'm considering using Berkano for a project.  Is there any usable
documentation that might help me get started.  I just want to
accomplish the task of creating the tables and then creating a user.

Thanks.

Hi,

I know documentation is lacking big time, and unfortunately I don't
have much time in my hands currently.

Creating the db can be done using the script found in
http://berkano.codehaus.org/User+Datamodel which is nothing than the
script generated by hibernate tools.
Creating a user is pretty straightforward by insert statements in the
db, otherwise using the ui - as long as your app is not secured ;)

I'll be able to help more if you're going to use Webwork2.2.x,
Picocontainer and Hibernate, otherwise, there are gonna be missing
pieces. I could still help, but you'd probably have to get your hands
dirty too ;-)

Let me know how it goes - I could provide samples if you have specific
questions.

Cheers,

greg

Hi,

I'm using Webwork 2.2.x, Hibernate and Spring IOC and PostGres and
would like to use the Webwork Actions supplied by Berkano.   I just
need a starting point and I'll work from there.

Thanks.

Zarar,

You basically need 3 things
* setup webwork so that it uses your ioc container to instanciate actions
* setup xwork like here
http://berkano.codehaus.org/Berkano+User+UI+for+WebWork to include and
declare to berkano actions
* wire at least the components indicated here
http://berkano.codehaus.org/Components+required+for+Berkano+User+UI

However, I have no clue how this might work with Spring. Basically,
the Berkano DAOs rely on the fact that they get an hibernate Session
injected in their constructor, and that functionality is provided by
nanocontainer/persistence. You might have to do a bit of coding or
research for this to happen with Spring, I'm unsure.

You'll definitely want to check nanocontainer/nanowar,
nanocontainer/persistence and berkano's code to get an idea of how
this all get together. I'd be very happy to hear your feedback if you
get it running with Spring !

Also note is that I currently rely on Seraph to do the
authentication/authorization in my applications, and some of this had
to leak into Berkano (Like the AuthenticationContext, which is used to
modify the current user's preferences)

HTH,

greg
