WiseMapping supports a wide variety of databases. However, we run intensively tests over HSQL and MySQL database. 

 

In the following section, you are going to find a detailled explanation how to configure you WiseMapping using MySQL 5.5.

MySQL 5.5 Installation

Prerequisites

Running SQL Scripts
Inside the WiseMapping binary distribution, you will find a directory "config/mysql". It contains all the SQL script required to configure a new WiseMapping database instance.
You will find 4 scripts:
There are a lot of good tools you can use to run this scripts (eg: MySQLWorkbench). However, the simples way is to use the command line tool that is distributed as part of the MySQL installation.
If you are one brave hearts that is not afraid of the command line tools, open a terminar and execute the following lines:

 

cd <WISEMAPPING-DIR>/config/database/mysql
# Default MySQL installation creates a "root" user with empty password. You can connect to the database with this user if you are # logged in same machine where the database is installed and must be executed logged as "root"  
# 
# If you have changed the default database "root" password , you need to specify an additional -p parameter and provide the 
# new password.
mysql -uroot < create-database.sql
# Create tables and default tests user
mysql -uwisemapping -Dwisemapping -ppassword < create-schemas.sql

mysql -uwisemapping -Dwisemapping -ppassword < apopulate-schemas.sql

 

Great, you have configured you database !. Let's configure WiseMapping now.

Configure WiseMapping

Next step, you must edit the file <WISEMAPING_DIR>/webapps/wisemapping/WEB-INF/app.properties and uncomment the MySQL configuration parameters and comment all HSQL configuration properties. 

Done, you have configured WiseMapping to use MySQL!. 

Stating WiseMapping

If you want to start WiseMapping right now, open a command line terminal within wisemapping-<version> directory and  execute

~:> java -Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.disablejsr199=true -jar start.jar

The application will be started on: http://localhost:8080/wisemapping/ . The database is automatically populated with a test user  test@wisemapping.organd password test.
