  1. Download mft.zip and unzip it into webapps directory of Tomcat installation directory.
  2. Make sure you copy classes111.zip ( after renaming it to classes111.jar) or classes12.jar into WEB-INF/lib directory
  3. Compile javabeans in WEB-INF/classes/mft directory. Run batch file s.bat before compiling javabeans. You may have to make necessary changes to batch file depending on the directory structure of your system.
  4. Create account mft with password mft in Oracle Database using the following command after you log in as SYSTEM or INTERNAL. 
       create user mft identified by mft;
   grant connect, resource to mft;
  5. Create required tables in Oracle using TABLES.TXT file and also insert some sample data.
  6. Copy classes111.jar (renamed classes111.zip) or classes12.jar into JBOSS_HOME\server\default\lib directory.
  7. Start JBOSS 4.x
  8. Build ejb in investorejb directory of mft directory using build.bat. Make necessary changes to build.bat before you run it.
  9. Make sure EJB is deployed sucessfully.
  10. Copy investor.jar into WEB-INF/lib directory of mft
  11. Copy jbossall-client.jar from JBOSS_HOME/client into common/lib directory of Tomcat.
  12. Copy oracle-ds.xml from JBOSS_HOME\docs\examples\jca into JBOSS_HOME\server\default\deploy directory.
  13. Add a new local-tx-datasource as follows under datasources tag as shown below. Change values according to your system settings. 
      <local-tx-datasource>
      <jndi-name>OracleMFT</jndi-name>
      <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:oracle8i</connection-url>

      <password>mft</password>
      <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>
        <metadata>

  15. Run the application using the following url: 
       http://localhost:8080/mft/login.jsp
  16. You should see login page of the application.

Deploying Web Application In Tomcat of JBoss

The following procedure explains how to deploy a web application MFT, developed with Standalone Tomcat, into Tomcat that is embeded into JBoss. This eliminates the need to use two servers - JBOSS and TOMCAT. Instead by starting JBOSS, we can use Web applications and related EJBs.
