Kohei Nozaki's blog 

I wrote a entry which uses list elements (ul, ol, li), and I got into some problem. so I leave this entry as a note of my solution.

I wrote some HTML as a content of a entry like this:

<ol>
  <li>element 1
  <li>element 2
  <ul>
    <li>nested element 1
    <li>nested element 2
  </ul>
</ol>

Then it showed in PC browsers as I expected like this:

But, it showed in mobile version like this:

all of list elements are disappeared. instead of list elements, the bottom of the entry became clickable. when I click the bottom, page transits to:

I don't want this behavior, just want html lists to stay inline on the page. fortunately, I found a quick workaround of it that just copy template named "_day" of Standard to Mobile. 

1. Go to blog settings
2. Click design tab
3. Click template
4. Click "_day"
5. Copy whole of template from "Standard"
6. Click "Mobile" tab
7. Paste the template
8. Save

That's all. now mobile version looks like this:

I installed Apache Roller 5.0.3 to WildFly at this article, but unfortunately it was so annoying procedure. Roller 5.0.3 comes with official installation guide to JBoss6, but it seems to be obsoleted for WildFly, so I had to such struggle to install Roller to WildFly.

But, I heard that from a developer of Roller, latest Roller and its installation guide is updated as compatible with newer JBoss version. also some problems at deploying to WildFly are fixed, so it became more easy to deploy to newer JBoss version, so I recommend latest Roller to who wants to use Roller with WildFly. The guide is fine and I guess that it's might be better to read it than this entry.

Environment

• Apache Roller 5.1.0-SNAPSHOT
• Apache Maven 3.1.1
• WildFly 8.1.0.CR1
• Oracle JDK8u5
• PostgreSQL 9.2.4
• OS X 10.9.3

Preconditions

• Appropriate JDBC driver is already installed.

Procedures

1. Checkout latest Apache Roller

   svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/trunk roller_trunk
   

2. Build

   cd roller_trunk; mvn clean install
   

   The WAR file will be built at roller_trunk/app/target/roller.war

3. Create a database (with psql)

   create database roller owner wildfly encoding 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;
   

4. Create a DataSource (with jboss-cli)

   data-source add \
    --name=RollerDS \
    --driver-name=postgresql-9.3-1100.jdbc41.jar \
    --connection-url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/roller \
    --jndi-name=java:/RollerDS \
    --user-name=wildfly \
    --password=*** \
    --check-valid-connection-sql="SELECT 1" \
    --background-validation-millis=60000 \
    --validate-on-match=true \
    --jta=false
   

5. Set default datasource

   /subsystem=jpa:write-attribute(name=default-datasource, value="java:/RollerDS")
   

6. Create a JavaMail session

   /socket-binding-group=standard-sockets/remote-destination-outbound-socket-binding=RollerSMTP:add( \
   host=smtp.gmail.com, \
   port=465)
   
   /subsystem=mail/mail-session=RollerMail:add(jndi-name="java:/RollerMail", from="jane.doe@gmail.example.com", debug=true)
   
   /subsystem=mail/mail-session=RollerMail/server=smtp:add( \
   outbound-socket-binding-ref=RollerSMTP, \
   ssl=true, \
   username=jane.doe@gmail.example.com, \
   password=***)
   

   How to define a JavaMail session using CLI might be useful if you want further information about configuration of JavaMail session for WildFly.

7. Create a directory at $WILDFLY_HOME/modules/org/apache/roller/configuration/main and put files below
   • module.xml

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.apache.roller.configuration">
        <resources>
            <resource-root path="."/>
        </resources>
     </module> 
     

   • roller-custom.properties

     installation.type=auto
     
     mediafiles.storage.dir=/Users/kyle/tmp/roller510/rollerdata/mediafiles
     search.index.dir=/Users/kyle/tmp/roller510/rollerdata/searchindex
     log4j.appender.roller.File=/Users/kyle/tmp/roller510/rollerdata/roller.log
     
     database.configurationType=jndi
     database.jndi.name=java:/RollerDS
     mail.configurationType=jndi
     mail.jndi.name=java:/RollerMail
     

   • hibernate.cfg.xml

     <hibernate-configuration>
           <session-factory>
              <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL9Dialect</property>
           </session-factory>
     </hibernate-configuration>
     

8. Restart wildfly
9. Browse /roller of your application server and do some initializing process
10. Set installation.type=manual in roller-custom.properties

Remarks

It works fine now, so I would try some customizing and posting with Roller.

I still seeing an error of JavaMail or something. I would investigate it later.

WARN  2014-05-16 16:01:39,233 WebloggerStartup:prepare - Failed to setup mail provider, continuing anyways.
Reason: ERROR connecting to mail server

1. How to Build Roller

Environment

• WildFly 8.1.0.CR1
• Oracle JDK8u5
• PostgreSQL 9.2.4
• roller-weblogger-5.0.3-for-javaee.tar.gz
• OS X 10.9.2

Preconditions

• Ensure appropriate JDBC driver is installed to WildFly.

Create a database for Roller

postgres=# create database roller owner kyle encoding 'UTF8' TEMPLATE template0;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# 

Create a DataSource

• Using jboss-cli.

data-source add \
 --name=RollerDS \
 --driver-name=postgresql \
 --connection-url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/roller \
 --jndi-name=java:jboss/jdbc/RollerDS \
 --user-name=postgres \
 --password=postgres \
 --jta=false \
 --use-java-context=false

Create the WAR with modified persistence.xml

Why need this?

• Roller5 uses JPA, and defines its JNDI datasource name in persistence.xml as “jdbc/rollerdb”
• But, WildFly doesn't allow such JNDI name. datasource creation will fail like this:

JBAS010471: Jndi name have to start with java:/ or java:jboss/

• Also, Roller5 installation guide mentioned about installation procedure for JBoss6, but it seems obsoleted.
• If possible, I recommend you to use other application servers like Tomcat or GlassFish at the moment because it needs many additional procedures to getting work with WildFly.

Extract the WAR

kyle-no-MacBook:tmp kyle$ pwd
/tmp
kyle-no-MacBook:tmp kyle$ mkdir roller
kyle-no-MacBook:tmp kyle$ cd roller
kyle-no-MacBook:roller kyle$ mkdir war
kyle-no-MacBook:roller kyle$ cd war
kyle-no-MacBook:war kyle$ jar xvf ~/Downloads/tmp/roller-weblogger-5.0.3-javaee/webapp/roller-5.0.3-javaee.war 

Extract roller-planet-business-5.0.3.jar

kyle-no-MacBook:war kyle$ cd ../
kyle-no-MacBook:roller kyle$ mkdir planet
kyle-no-MacBook:roller kyle$ cd planet
kyle-no-MacBook:planet kyle$ jar xvf ../war/WEB-INF/lib/roller-planet-business-5.0.3.jar

Modify persistence.xml inside roller-planet-business-5.0.3.jar

kyle-no-MacBook:planet kyle$ sed -i -e "s/jdbc\/rollerdb/java:jboss\/jdbc\/RollerDS/" META-INF/persistence.xml

• Now, persistence.xml like this:

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" version="2.0">
    <persistence-unit name ="PlanetPU" transaction-type = "RESOURCE_LOCAL"> 
        <non-jta-data-source>java:jboss/jdbc/RollerDS</non-jta-data-source>
        <mapping-file>org/apache/roller/planet/pojos/RuntimeConfigProperty.orm.xml</mapping-file>
        <mapping-file>org/apache/roller/planet/pojos/Planet.orm.xml</mapping-file>

        <mapping-file>org/apache/roller/planet/pojos/SubscriptionEntry.orm.xml</mapping-file> 
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Extract roller-weblogger-business-5.0.3.jar

kyle-no-MacBook:planet kyle$ cd ..
kyle-no-MacBook:roller kyle$ mkdir weblogger
kyle-no-MacBook:roller kyle$ cd weblogger/
kyle-no-MacBook:weblogger kyle$ jar xvf ../war/WEB-INF/lib/roller-weblogger-business-5.0.3.jar 

Modify persistence.xml inside roller-weblogger-business-5.0.3.jar

• Replace JNDI name

kyle-no-MacBook:weblogger kyle$ sed -i -e "s/jdbc\/rollerdb/java:jboss\/jdbc\/RollerDS/" META-INF/persistence.xml

• Add declaration of an additional property which enables bind EntityManagerFactory to JNDI. detail information: [3]

        <properties>
           <property name="jboss.entity.manager.factory.jndi.name" value="java:jboss/jpa/RollerEMF" />
        </properties>

• Also, trimming is needed.

kyle-no-MacBook:weblogger kyle$ sed -i -e "s/orm\.xml *</orm\.xml</g" META-INF/persistence.xml

• If skip this, WildFly will complains like this and deployment fails:

Caused by: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: RollerPU] Unable to resolve named mapping-file [org/apache/roller/weblogger/pojos/TaskLock.orm.xml                ]

• Now, persistence.xml is:

Access to the page

• Finally the top page is shown!

• The button triggers schema creation.

roller=# \d

 public | bookmark                 | table | postgres
 public | entryattribute           | table | postgres
...

• Finally I saw the welcome page!

Don't forget: Reset the installation.type flag

• Roller installation guide said:

Now that you're done with the installation you should turn off Roller's auto-installation system. Edit your roller-custom.properties file and set installation.type=manual. Then restart your server or Roller so that it accepts the new setting.

• So, you need to edit the roller-custom.properties and re-deploy.
