Introduction

CloudStore is an e-commerce web application developed by using TPC-W standard and it is used as a Showcase application to validate the CloudScale tools that were developed during the project. The application was developed using the Java Springframework.

CloudStore runs on Tomcat web application server and uses MySQL database. Static files and images needs to be generated with ImgGen tool.

Running

For running CloudStore on your computer you will need Tomcat and MySQL database installed. You can also import and run CloudStore from Eclipse IDE. Before you can run CloudStore on Tomcat you will need to compile it into .war archive. Before compiling the CloudStore edit some config files.

Configs

With config files you tell CloudStore where it can find the images and how to connect to database.

src/main/resources/app.properties

In this file set the url for CSS, JavaScript and image files:

eu.cloudscale.files.url.css - URL to the folder with CSS files

eu.cloudscale.files.url.img - URL to the folder with image files

eu.cloudscale.files.url.js - URL to the folder with JavaScript files

src/main/resources/database/database.aws.hibernate.properties

In this file configure the MySQL database:

jdbc.driverClassName - Set to com.mysql.jdbc.ReplicationDriver if you want to use master-slave MySQL setup. Otherwise set it to com.mysql.jdbc.Driver value.

jdbc.url - Connection URL to the host and database. Format is jdbc:mysql://<host>/<database_name>.

Note: If you want to use master-slave MySQL setup use jdbc:mysql:replication:// format, otherwise jdbc:mysql://.

jdbc.username - Username to connect to database

jdbc.password - Password for the user to connect to database

jdbc.hibernate.dialect - Hibernate dialect

Compiling

CloudStore is a Maven project so you will have to install the Maven tool.

When you installed Maven you can compile CloudStore into war archive with executing the following command:

$ mvn clean install

from directory where the pom.xml file is located.

Installing

Copy target/showcase-1.0.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.war to Tomcat.
