Common DB for activiti-app and activiti-rest?

[avirankatz]

Hi,

I'm relatively new to activiti. For the past few days I've been reading parts of the user guide (mostly the REST API part) and researched the different web apps that come with activiti 6 (activiti-app, activiti-rest, activiti-admin). I noticed that activiti-app and activiti-rest work with different databases.

How can I set them to read and write from/to the same database? Preferably PostgreSQL that runs on an Ubuntu VM.

Your help is highly appreciated,

Aviran

I'm having the same issue. I currently haven't configured the activiti-app/activiti-rest to use anything other than the in memory DB that the war files are deployed with. Have you configured them to use a different DB yet?

[daisuke-yoshimo · Accepted solution]

You can configure DB setting by editing the following properties file.

• activiti-6.0.0/wars/activiti-app/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/activiti-app/activiti-app.properties
• activiti-6.0.0/wars/activiti-rest/WEB-INF/classes/db.properties

I configured both files as you suggested. It works for activiti-app (thank you!), but activiti-rest fails to load for some reason. I can see the following exception in the log:

09:07:21,444 [localhost-startStop-1] WARN  org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext  - Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'demoDataConfiguration': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: protected org.activiti.engine.IdentityService org.activiti.rest.conf.DemoDataConfiguration.identityService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'identityService' defined in class path resource [org/activiti/rest/conf/ActivitiEngineConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.activiti.engine.IdentityService]: Factory method 'identityService' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'processEngine' defined in class path resource [org/activiti/rest/conf/ActivitiEngineConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.activiti.engine.ProcessEngine]: Factory method 'processEngine' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'processEngineFactoryBean': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is com.zaxxer.hikari.pool.HikariPool$PoolInitializationException: Failed to initialize pool: Database may be already in use: "Locked by another process". Possible solutions: close all other connection(s); use the server mode [90020-176]

[daisuke-yoshimo]

Do you use H2 Database? If so, this error is may be specification of H2 database, according to the following link.

Concurrency issues with H2 file mode · Issue #748 · spark-jobserver/spark-jobserver · GitHub 

Could you use real database like Postgresql?

[avirankatz]

You're right, I was using H2. After switching to PostgreSQL everything works as expected.

[nbppp2]

So I have updated these to files to use MySQL. Activiti-app works. I can see it saving data in the DB. 

activiti-rest fails to start. My db.properties file is 

db=activiti6
jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/activiti6?characterEncoding=UTF-8
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=

my activiti-app.properties file (the DB section anyway) is 

datasource.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/activiti6?characterEncoding=UTF-8

datasource.username=root
datasource.password=
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect

Do I have something incorrect here?

Please upload this failure's exception log.
