RigaJUG - demo - instant OPENXAVA app

From the following model called Tranxy

we'll generate instantly an Openxava app.

The interesting part of this demo is the enrichment of the model, it is described Riga demo 2 (The main complexity comes by having 2 tables (language and user) linked by 2 many-to-many).

Actions

There are four simple actions make it happened:

• Drop TRANXY-OPENXAVA.xml in /mywork/config and run: model-generation.cmd/sh TRANXY-OPENXAVA.xml
• In /output/OPENXAVA set the 2 environment variables
• set OX_HOME=../openxava-4.4.1 (export on unix)
• set MP_HOME=../minuteProject-0.8.1 (export on unix)
• execute >build-tranxy.cmd/sh

And that's it!

Last action will 

• create an Openxava project
• build it (portlet included ready for Liferay)
• start Openxava embedded tomcat server
• add connection datasource
• deploy the build application on tomcat
• start a browser connection at  http://localhost:8080/tranxy/xava/homeMenu.jsp where the menu is.

The application works on an empty database, you can use the Openxava-Minuteproject-generated-app to
populate it...
Enjoy!
