CDO/Hibernate Store/Configuration and Setup

The configuration of the CDO server with the CDO Hibernate Store consists of 2 parts: 1) a cdo-server.xml configuration file, 2) a launch configuration in Eclipse. For this tutorial the CDO server will be started from within Eclipse.

Example Project

This document discusses the setup and configuration of the CDO server. This page assumes that required plugins have been downloaded and installed and that they are correctly loaded/installed after restarting Eclipse.

This page uses the org.eclipse.emf.cdo.examples.hibernate.server project as an example. This development project can be downloaded from here:

• server: dev.eclipse.org
• main directory: /cvsroot/modeling
• path: org.eclipse.emf/org.eclipse.emf.cdo/examples/org.eclipse.emf.cdo.examples.hibernate.server

Configuration file

An example configuration file is shown below. It consists of different sections: acceptor definition: defines the communication protocol and port repository: contains CDO properties, Teneo properties and Hibernate properties store: within the repository tag a store is defined (type="hibernate") and a mapping provider is specified (teneo)

Here is the full listing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cdoServer>
 
	<!--
	<acceptor type="http"/>
	-->
 
	<acceptor type="tcp" listenAddr="0.0.0.0" port="2036">

</cdoServer>

This file is present in the config folder of the org.eclipse.emf.cdo.examples.hibernate.server project.

Note: as is noted in the config file, the location of the Teneo and Hibernate properties will change in future builds (with backward compatibility support). In the future the Teneo properties are placed within the mappingProvider tag and the Hibernate properties directly within the store tag.

Each of the different property sections is discussed in more detail.

Teneo Properties

Teneo supports many (40+) global properties to control the mapping logic itself, database artifact naming and entity naming. All the options are described in the Teneo options page.

The options are also described in the PersistenceOptions class. By installing the SDK, see the download and install section you will have the source code. Check this class for textual representation of the options (which prefix to use).

One option: teneo.mapping.cascade_policy_on_non_containment, needs to be set to: PERSIST,MERGE. This is already done in the cdo-server.xml (and the example above).

Hibernate options

There are many hibernate options. The most important ones (to connect to the database) are shown above, there are however many more. Check out the documentation here.

Additional Hibernate or other Config files

There are cases where it is required to add additional Hibernate or EHCache or other configuration files to the CDO server. These files should be made visible to the hibernate plugin. To accomplish this the following has to be done:

• place the files in a separate plugin
• let this plugin depend on the org.eclipse.emf.cdo.server.hibernate plugin and possibly also on the hibernate plugin (select the correct plugin with version 3.3.2 or higher)
• make sure that the configuration files are copied to the output folder, they should be listed in the build.properties in the bin.include/binary
• export (in the MANIFEST.MF) the location containing the configuration file.
