Is it possible to push data into non-liferay database using service.xml

[Pavan Gupta, modificado 11 Anos atrás.]

Hi,

I am using liferay 6.1 to build a portlet. My requirement is to fetch data from non-liferay DB and update entries (push entries) back to non-liferay DB.

Using service builder tool, i am able to fetch data from non-LR DB but while pushing data back to non-LR DB, my portlet is trying to find table in LR DB and throwing table didn't exist exception.

So is it possible to push data back to Non-LR DB using service builder tool?

Thanks,
Pavan

I believe you just need to specify different datasource in service.xml, instead of Liferay's datasource ?

Hi Christianto,

Thanks for the response. Following entity info, i ahave specified in my service.xml content:


<entity name="Training" local-service="true" table="training"
remote-service="true" data-source="myDatasource">
<column name="userId" type="long" primary="true"></column>
<column name="firstName" type="String"></column>
<column name="lastName" type="String"></column>
</entity>


and non-LR DB info is present in ext-spring.xml file.

Fetching data is working fine but i am facing problem while pushing data to non-LR DB..

Thanks,
Pavan

Rather than writing about generalities that is anyone's guess, how about trying some specifics, i.e "when I call updateXxxx() it fails w/ this exception and here's the stack trace"...

@Christianto,
As i mentioned above, i have specified custom data-source "myDatasource" in service.xml file. Custom datasource info (connection url, username and passwd) is declared in ext-spring.xml file.

@David, I am not getting any stack trace. it is printing only one line "ERROR [JDBCExceptionReporter:75] Table 'lportal.training' doesn't exist" on console.
i have a table name training in my Non-LR DB. and when i call addTraining(training modelObj), it is printing "lportal.training' doesn't exist" on console.

Seems that your configuration still using Liferay's datasource instead your own database.

Hi Pavan,

My requirement is like you only, i want to fetch the data from existing table.
i am using liferay6.1.0 CE and mysql 5.5

I created new portlet for view the Page.
please tell me what to define in service.xml for only fetch the data from my employee table.

using some condition.

(or)
you can tell only how to fetch the data from the employee table. using service.xml or any other possible way.

your information is very helpful for me. please send

Hi Anand,

service.xml only generates persistence layer code for you. If you want to fetch data from external DB then you need to create ext-spring.xml file and specify external Datasource info, hibernate session factory info in that config file. Put that config file in Meta-inf folder where other hibernate, spring related config files are present.

Here is my ext-spring.xml files content:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" default-destroy-method="destroy" default-init-method="afterPropertiesSet" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
<bean id="myDatasource" lazy-init="true" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/training?useUnicode=true"/>
<property name="username" value="root" />
<property name="password" value="root" />
</bean>
<bean id="liferayHibernateSessionFactory" class="com.liferay.portal.spring.hibernate.PortletHibernateConfiguration">
<property name="dataSource" ref="myDatasource" />
</bean>
</beans>

i guess, this will help u.

Thanks,
Pavan

Hi Anand,

Define External DB table schema in service.xml and generate code using service builder.

this is my service.xml file content.

<entity name="Training" local-service="true" table="training"
remote-service="true" data-source="myDatasource">
<column name="userId" type="long" primary="true"></column>
<column name="firstName" type="String"></column>
<column name="lastName" type="String"></column>
</entity>

By using generated service, u should able to access external tables.

Thanks,
Pavan

[Pavan Gupta, modificado 11 Anos atrás.]

Hi,

After generating persistence layer code, u must be having some utility class related to ur service. Use that utility class to fetch data from DB.

Thanks,
Pavan

[anand gopalan, modificado 11 Anos atrás.]

Hi Paven,

I have attached Employee portlet file. I sent my all code. I have written view.jsp to call util class to fetch the record from the employee table.

Can you please correct me where I am doing wrong in view.jsp. Because in the persistance class set all the employee details using SOAP and other place using JSON.

so I got confuse how to get the employee table record. Please correct me. it will really help for me.

[anand gopalan, modificado 11 Anos atrás.]

In ext-spring.xml

<bean id="liferayHibernateSessionFactory" class="com.liferay.portal.spring.hibernate.PortletHibernateConfiguration">
<property name="dataSource" ref="myDatasource" />

com.liferay.portal.spring.hibernate.PortletHibernateConfiguration - I didn't create any class.

Please tell me what i need to do.
