Design Notes
Developing Magneato
The developers guide will tell you how to access the Magneato CMS source, set up Maven to build the application and start coding using Eclipse.
Running on Tomcat
You may see this error on startup
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found
Add xalan.jar and serializer.jar to the common/endorsed directory of Tomcat.
As a result of the Xalan error the repository initialization process will have failed leaving a repository directory containing just an empty workspace.xml file under the magneato webapps directory. On a 2nd start-up this empty file causes a “Premature end of file” error. Delete the repository directory and copy the template directory from SVN. The initialization process should then complete successfully.
Cross Contexts
Under: conf/Catalina/localhost create a file magneato.xml with the following entry
<Context docBase="/home/david/Dropbox/src/magneato/target/magneato.war" debug="0" crossContext="true"> </Context>
This lets magneato talk to the orbeon forms processor.
