Not all the questions on this page are directly related to Canvas deployment, e.g. questions on Oracle database. Some of these questions were asked by participants during the Canvas training sessions. We have answered those here for the larger benefit of the Canvas Developer community.

titleWhat are the changes to be done when context root of the application is changed?

Let’s assume that the following are the details of the application: 

  • DATA_SOURCE_NAME : DliteCTDS
  • SCHEMA_NAME : CT_MIG
  • SCHEMA_NAME_PWD : CT_MIG
  • CONTEXT_ROOT : dliteweb
  • WAR_NAME : dliteweb
  • WORK_FOLDER : D:/Canvas19/dliteweb

The following steps indicate the changes that are to be applied for the JBoss app server and Oracle database environments. For other app server and database combinations, changes need to be appropriately applied to the relevant files in accordance with the modified changes. 
Context Root changes

1. In the application WAR JBoss folder (e.g. 'WEB-INF\jboss-web.xml’), specify the context root in the jboss-web.xml file, as shown in the following code snippet:

Code Block
languagexml
<context-root> dliteweb </context-root>

2. In the CTResources.jar folder (e.g. ‘Ctweb\Dependencies\Canvas\CTResources.jar\CanvasApplicationContext.json’), specify the context root in CanvasApplicationContext.json file, as shown in the following code snippet:

Code Block
languagebash
{
	"contextRoot": "dliteweb",
	"applicationId": "MODELHOUSE",
	"displayName": "CTWEB",
	"isService": "Y"
}

3. In the application Resource.jar folder (e.g. Ctweb\CtwebResources\src\main\resource\Ctwebsecurityconfig.properties), specify the default context root in Ctwebsecurityconfig.properties file, as shown in the following code snippet: 

Code Block
languagexml
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_ROOT=dliteweb
ALL_CONTEXT_ROOTS=dliteweb

4. In the application Resource.jar folder (e.g. Ctweb\CTWebResources\src\main\resource\ctwebexportconfig.properties), specify the context root as the context path in Ctwebexportconfig.properties file, as shown in the following code snippet:

Code Block
languagexml
SESSION_TIMEOUT_URL=dliteweb/index.jsp 
CONTEXT_PATH=dliteweb


JNDI Data source name change

1. In the application Resource.jar folder (e.g. CtwebResources\src\main\resource\databaseconfig.properties), specify the JNDI data source name in ctwebdatabaseconfigCtwebdatabaseconfig.properties file, as shown in the following code snippet:

Code Block
languagexml
CT_FW_DATASOURCE =java:/DliteCTDS 
CT_FW_FILEIMPORT_DATASOURCE=java:/DliteCTDS

2. In the  (e.g. 'standalone\configuration\standalone.xml’), specify the JNDI data source name in standalone.xml file, as shown in the following code snippet:

Code Block
languagexml
<datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/DliteCTDS" pool-name="DliteCTDS" enabled="true">
            <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.12.25.28:1521:SIR13714</connection-url>
            <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
            <driver>OracleJDBCDriver</driver>
            <security>
                <user-name><SCHEMA_NAME></user-name>
                <password><SCHEMA_NAME_PWD></password>
            </security>
</datasource>

3. In the the application WAR JBoss folder (e.g. 'standalone\deployments\ctmodelhouse.war \WEB-INF\jboss-web.xml’), specify the JNDI data source name in the jboss-web.xml file, as shown in the following code snippet:

Code Block
languagexml
<resource-ref>
            <res-ref-name>jdbc/CTwebCanvasDataSource</res-ref-name>
            <jndi-name>java:jboss/datasources/DliteCTDS</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>


Work Folder Changes

1. In the application Resource.jar folder (e.g. CtwebResources\src\main\resource\MyImplementation.properties), specify the work folder and centralized work folder paths in CtwebImplementation.properties file, as shown in the following code snippet:

Code Block
languagexml
CT_WORK_FOLDER_PATH=D:/Canvas19/dliteweb                
CT_WORK_CENTRALIZED_FOLDER_PATH=D:/Canvas19/dliteweb   

2. Specify the Web Application Resource (WAR) file name in build.xml file, as shown in the following code snippet: 

Code Block
languagexml
<property name="dliteweb" value="${DIST_ROOT}/dliteweb.war" />
