Developing with the CDM Library

	<Table of Contents>

%{toc|section=0|fromDepth=2|toDepth=3}

  <<Note:>> The CDM Library uses Apache Maven for dependency management. If you are not familiar with that please take a look at the {{{https://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/GeneralDev#Maven}developer resources on the wiki}}. In case you run into problems, you might want to check {{{./troubleshooting.html}Troubleshooting}} or contact {{{mailto:editsupport@bgbm.org}editsupport@bgbm.org}} directly.

* Integrating the CDM Library into a maven project

	To integrate the CDM Library into your personal maven project pelase add our maven repository to your POM: 

	{{http://wp5.e-taxonomy.eu/cdmlib/mavenrepo/}}. To use the <cdmlib-service> package add the following 

	dependency to you POM (adapt the right version number !!):

---

<dependency>

	<groupId>eu.etaxonomy</groupId>

	<artifactId>cdmlib-service</artifactId>

	<version>x.x</version>

</dependency>

---

* Spring applications with the CDM Library

	In your own applicationContext.xml you can simply import the cdm service spring beans from the library. 

	In addition it also needs a datasource bean and a hibernateProperties bean specific for that datasource. 

	The CDM Library comes with an embedded hypersonic database that is super easy to use. All you need to do 

	is to import that hsql specific spring configuration like this:

---

applicationContext.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans   

		http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd">

	<import resource="classpath:/eu/etaxonomy/cdm/services.xml" />

	<import resource="classpath:/eu/etaxonomy/cdm/hsql-datasource.xml" />

</beans>

---

	In case you want to define the datasource within your own applicationContext you can surely do so. 

	For a typical mysql database it looks like this: 

---

applicationContext.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans   

		http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd">

	<import resource="classpath:/eu/etaxonomy/cdm/services.xml" />

    <bean id="dataSource" 

			class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">

        <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>

        <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://192.168.2.10/cdm_build"/>

        <property name="username" value="cdm_user"/>

        <property name="password" value="why_do_i_need_this"/>

    </bean>

    <bean id="hibernateProperties" 

			class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">

        <property name="properties">

            <props>

                <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">validate</prop>

                <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>

                <prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">

					org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider

				</prop>

                <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">false</prop>

                <prop key="hibernate.format_sql">false</prop>

            </props>

        </property>

    </bean>    

</beans>

* Developing the CDM Library with Eclipse

	To use the entire CDM Library with {{{http://www.eclipse.org/} Eclipse}}, you must meet the following prerequisites:

    * Maven 2.2.1 commandline tools. Follow the instruction to install maven on your local machine. See {{{https://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/GeneralDev#Maven}}} for installation instructions.

    * Subclipse 1.6.x (for convenient subversion access from Eclipse). {{{http://subclipse.tigris.org/}}} 

    * Java JDK >= 1.6 (JRE is not enough) and JAVA_HOME is set to JDK path

	[]

** Preparing the CDM Library

	Start by checking out the source code from the subversion repository:

---

$ svn co http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/svn/trunk/cdmlib/ .

---

	Change into the cdmlib directory, compile and install the cdmlib packages in your local repository. This will also download the dependencies into your local repository.

---

$ cd cdmlib

$ mvn install 

---

	Let maven create project dependencies and Eclipse metafiles (.project s.o.)

--- 

$ mvn eclipse:eclipse 

---

** Configuring Eclipse

	* Setup a new Eclipse workspace (where ever you want but using the cdmlib folder may be comfortable)

	* In Eclipse preferences (not project properties) set a java class variable called <<<M2_REPO>>>, pointing to your local repository. 

		* Eclipse Preferences: Java -> Build Path -> Classpath

		* Click <<<New>>>. In the upcoming dialog, enter <<<M2_REPO>>> as the variables name and browse the filesystem for the location of the maven repository

			* In OSX for example    <<</Users/USERNAME/.m2/repository>>>

			* In WinXP for example  <<<C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\.m2\repository>>>

	* Import the cdmlib projects: 

		* In Eclipse open the Import Wizard: File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace

		* Choose "Select root directory". Click "Browse" and navigate to your cdmlib folder and confirm the file dialog.

		* The projects should now show in the Import Wizard window. Select the projects you want wo work on (usually all) and hit OK.

* Where do I go from here?

	Now that you have integrated or installed the CDM Library you are probably looking for documentation 

	on how to develop with it. A good start is to read the {{{./reference.html}reference documentation}} 

	of the CDM Library. The {{{./cdm-uml}UML diagrams}} are also a good starting point to get familiar

	with the structure of the Common Data Model itself or consult the {{{./apidocs}javadoc}} for the API documentation.

	Please also have a look at the {{{http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/GeneralDev} general information}} and 

	{{{http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/CdmLibraryDev} further information about coding with the CDM Library}} in the development wiki.
