AQ WebGui

Development and running it¶

Check out the project from svn, using anonymous checkout. Use Svn path svn://activequant.org/opt/repositories/aq-webgui , checkout trunk.

Edit the hibernate database properties file ( ./src/main/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml ) and update the mysql settings in there. Tables will be created automatically by hibernate when the initial database exists. My hibernate.cfg.xml looks like this:

<hibernate-configuration>
        <session-factory>
                <!-- # settings # -->

                <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/activequant</property>
                <property name="connection.username">AQ_DBUSER</property>
                <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
                <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
                <property name="connection.password">AQ_DBPWD</property>

                <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>

                <property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size">5</property>
                <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">20</property>
                <property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">300</property>
                <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_statements">50</property>
                <property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">3000</property>
                <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>

                <!-- # mapping files # -->
...

When done, dive into the trunk folder and navigate to the folder containing the pom.

Then start a simple development server (jetty) with maven :

 mvn -Djetty.port=9999 jetty:run

You can specify the jetty port as shown above.

This looks like this:

ustaudinger@activequant:~/work/aq-webgui/trunk/aq-webui$ ls -la
