Jentrata MSH is based on Hermes Messaging Gateway developed by CECID, The University of Hong Kong. The goal of Jentrata is build on the orignial work developed by CECID as well as build a community to continue it's development.

See jentrata.org for complete details on the project

Current Build Status

1. Fork Repo into your github account

2. Run on your local machine:

    git clone [email protected]:<github-username>/jentrata-msh.git
    cd jentrata-msh.git
    git remote add upstream [email protected]:jentrata/jentrata-msh.git
   

You can now pull/rebase from the upstream repository

git pull upstream master

And push now push these changes to your forked repository

git push

Also you should run the following

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email <your_email>

Requires maven 3.0+ and Java 6+

git clone [email protected]:<github-username>/jentrata-msh.git
cd jentrata-msh
mvn clean install

This will create jentrata-msh-tomcat.tar.gz in jentrata-msh/Dist/target/ as well as an uncompressed version

1. download and install tomcat 6.x or 7.x

2. untar jentrata-msh-tomcat.tar.gz

3. set JENTRATA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME environment variables, for example

    export JENTRATA_HOME=/dev/jentrata-msh-tomcat
    export TOMCAT_HOME=/dev/tomcat
   

4. create a symlink to the $JENTRATA_HOME/webapps/corvus in the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory to

    ln -s $JENTRATA_HOME/webapps/corvus $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/corvus
   

5. set JAVA_OPTS environment variable as follows

    export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dcorvus.home=$JENTRATA_HOME"
   

6. add the following roles and user to $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml

    <role rolename="admin"/>
    <role rolename="corvus"/>
    <user username="corvus" password="corvus" roles="tomcat,admin,corvus"/>
   

1. install postgresql 8.3+ - During the install, for the default user 'postgres', make the password 'postgres' (ignore quotes). For Mac OSX you should read the link - memory configuration info for OSX

2. copy the database creation scripts to your PostgreSQL install

    copy JENTRATA_HOME/sql/ebms.sql to the PostgreSQL bin directory
    copy JENTRATA_HOME/sql/as2.sql to the PostgreSQL bin directory
   

3. log in as the PostgreSQL user 'postgres' created during the install

4. set the password for the default user 'postgres' as a temporary environment variable

    export PGPASSWORD="postgres"
   

5. cd to the PostgreSQL bin directory

6. create a postgres user corvus with default password corvus

    ./createuser -s -d -P corvus
   

7. create the ebms and as2 databases

    ./createdb -O corvus ebms
    ./createdb -O corvus as2
   

8. Run the db create tables scripts

    ./psql -f ebms.sql ebms
    ./psql -f as2.sql as2
   

9. Logout as user postgres

1. Install MySQL for your OS (http://mysql.com)

2. Create your databases

    mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE ebms;"
    mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE as2;"
   

3. Create users/permissions to new databases

    mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON ebms.* TO 'ebms'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'ebms';"
    mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON as2.* TO 'as2'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'as2';"
   

4. Import DB Schema

    mysql ebms < JENTRATA_HOME/sql/mysql_ebms.sql
    mysql as2 < JENTRATA_HOME/sql/mysql_as2.sql
   

5. Configure Jentrata to use MySQL

   You will need to modify the some parameters of the doafactory component in the 'plugins' directory for each plugin of Jentrata that you wish to use with MySQL.

    JENTRATA_HOME/plugins/hk.hku.cecid.ebms/conf/hk/hku/cecid/ebms/spa/conf/ebms.module.xml
    JENTRATA_HOME/plugins/hk.hku.cecid.edi.as2/conf/hk/hku/cecid/edi/as2/conf/as2.module.core.xml
   

   Look for the following Component:

    <component id="daofactory" name="System DAO Factory">
   

   Find the following parameters and change them as follows:

    <parameter name="driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
    <parameter name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/ebms"/>
   

1. Start tomcat and browse to http://localhost:8080/jentrata/admin/home. You will need to login using the username and password you set in the tomcat-users.xml corvus/corus by default

2. If Jentrata doesn't start correctly you can check the various log files under $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/ or $JENTRATA_HOME/logs for errors
