Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

John,

 

I resolved these two jiras:

 

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1185

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1186

 

I tried this on oracle and got the same exception as you where it couldn’t find the driver class.  The installer generally isn’t going to have the driver class in the classpath unless you start the installer with another jar which is sort of awkward, so I now have the output not printing the stack if there is no driver class found.  In your case, I think you can just ignore the stack.  Or get the new installer and see that the stack is not printed.  Note for that version of oracle driver you need to make sure JAVA_HOME is set to a JDK dir of java 7.  I couldn’t reproduce the problem of autocommit, though I think you can ignore that too if it is in the connection checking.  If you let the installer finish will it init the DB?  It worked for me on oracle

 

Thanks,

Chris

Send me the full output please and at the places where you move files, please send me the commands for that too

 

Thanks,

Done, same error.

 

Just to note, I’m running the installer from /usr/local/grouper.install-2.2.1 and trying to install into /usr/local/grouper

Ok, take that line out and remove the other oracle jar in jdbcSamples.  Thanks, Chris

I reset grouper.apiBinary-2.2.1, then added ojdbc7.jar to /lib/custom, and added the line:

 

hibernate.connection.driver_class = oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

 

in /config/grouper.hibernate.properties

 

Ran the installer, and still got:

I’m confused as to why you wanted to try this, because the ojdbc7.jar has the OracleDrive class in oracle/jdbc/driver.

You should never edit any base config files, only add/edit things to the override (in this case grouper.hibernate.properties)

 

Thanks,

The grouper.apiBinary-2.2.1/conf/grouper.hibernate.properties has very little in it, you’re suggesting to add a line?

 

Or modify grouper.hibernate.base.properties ?

I think you might need to change the grouper.hibernate.properties to have a driver class of oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver instead of oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.  Does that help?  We might need to adjust the installer for new versions of Oracle…

 

Thanks,

Chris

Are there any other suggestions to fix this problem?

 

I’m installing on Ubuntu and get the same error even after putting ojdbc7.jar in the /usr/local/grouper/grouper.apiBinary-2.2.1/lib/custom dir.

Scott Koranda's suggestion did the trick.  I placed the driver in ~/grouper.apiBinary-2.2.1/lib/custom and zipped right through.

Good afternoon,

I tried out grouper installation first by installing in on my desktop (Mac
OS/X) and using the hsqldb.  Although it was 100% smooth, I was able to
reason out what was needed to completed the installation and had grouper up
and running within a day.

The RHEL installation is not going well.  In production, we will be using
Oracle rather than the bundled database.

By reading the documentation and reviewing the tutorial, it is implied that
all drivers needed for an installation are included in the installation
package.  However, once I have entered the hibernate.connection.url,
hibernate.connection.username, and hibernate.connection.password, the
program throws the following exception trace (despite adding the
ojdbc14.jar driver to a library and including it in the classpath.  The
lines indicating issues in finding ojdbc14.jar are in red):

Checking database with query: select 1 from dual

Error: could not connect to the database:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error with query: select 1 from dual
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error connecting to: null
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Problem loading class:
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

I ran into the same problem with the installer.  My installation notes say:

Database user: grouper
Database password:
(can't find oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver, continuing)
install patch grouper_v2_2_1_api_patch_0: t
install patch grouper_v2_2_1_api_patch_1: t
install patch grouper_v2_2_1_api_patch_2: t
install patch grouper_v2_2_1_api_patch_3: t
init the database: (press CTRL-C here to break out of the installer)

Then I proceeded with configuration by hand and initialized the database later:

cd /private/grouper/api/bin
./gsh -registry -check
    schemaexport all tables: y
./gsh -registry -runsqlfile /private/grouper/api/ddlScripts/<filename>.sql
    run the sql file: y


I'm not sure why the installer had that error, but I just skipped it.
