How to start my own portal based on mavenized Entando

How to start my own portal based on mavenized Entando

Even if these instructions are perfectly valid you can check out a more comprehensive guide here.

Use case

I work at My Company, whose website is http://www.mycompany.com/

Before Entando v2.4.0, I was able to instantiate a portal myNewPortal from jAPS 2.0 entando.

Now I want to do it with mavenized Entando.

1. Create a new maven project and, when asked:
   • Use the entando-archetype-portal-generic archetype
   • groupId : com.mycompany.projects
   • artifactId : myNewPortal
   • package : com.mycompany.projects.myNewPortal
2. Check and edit src/main/filters/filter-development-unix.properties (or filter-development-windows.properties for Windows machines)
3. Check and edit buildProperties.xml

Done. You can:

• mvn package to get the war in development mode
• or Run As --> Run on Server if you use Eclipse Indigo
• or mvn clean jetty:run if you prefer Jetty

Note: Only for v3.2.0:

The default DBMS is Derby, if you want to change:

1. Go to Administration Area > Tools > Database and Create a Backup > Execute Backup
2. Edit the filters configuration (add comments on the rows about "Database Configuration: DERBY" and remove comments on the rows about the DBMS you want)
3. Create the database tables running the proper ant task e.g. ant MySQL-db-create or ant PG-db-create

When you are ready to deploy, check and edit src/main/filters/filter-production.properties and launch ant WAR-build.
