how to run roller 2.0.2 (blog system) on WebSphere

  1. You have Websphere 5.1 or above with latest fix packs and RDBMS.
  2. Download roller source from https://roller.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList you need source code and tools like hibernate.
  3. Download patch and look throw files you’d like or don’t like to add/change. web.xml, hibernate.cfg.xml and so on. Patch work with DB2, so you may want to change hibernate settings in order to use other database.
  4. Extract all files into one folder, when you extracting patch, it should overwrite some previous files.
  5. Set JAVA_HOME to WebSphere Java. Run build file. You will find additional task to build war for WebSphere.
  6. Create database, create table as in build Web-Inf/dbscripts, map datasource to jndi name jdbc/rollerdb and add mail session.

I am going to make a patch for new version, but not this month. Also, new roller use acegi security mechanism which is not fully compatible with websphere security.
