external install of multiple xml files through bash

[Chris Clark]

so i know i can do this..

java -jar ofbiz.jar -install -file=file.xml

although that doesnt work on my system i get

Exception in thread "main" org.ofbiz.base.start.StartupException: Couldn't
not fetch config instance at
org.ofbiz.base.start.Start.init(Start.java:202) at
org.ofbiz.base.start.Start.main(Start.java:127) Caused by:
java.io.IOException: Cannot load configuration properties :
org/ofbiz/base/start/-install.properties at
org.ofbiz.base.start.Config.getPropertiesFile(Config.java:229) at
org.ofbiz.base.start.Config.readConfig(Config.java:297) at
org.ofbiz.base.start.Config.getInstance(Config.java:58) at
org.ofbiz.base.start.Start.init(Start.java:200) ... 1 more


is this another one of those i didnt declare the classes thing? because i
read in the classes and its still the same error... is there some
idiosyncrasy to installing multiple files say from a directory...

please help

Use this, modify to suit:

root@srv01:/opt/ofbiz.import/bin# cat load_xml.sh
#! /bin/bash

if [ ! -f "$1" ]; then
    echo "ERROR: finding $1"
    exit
fi

#cd /opt/ofbiz
./ant run-install-file -Ddata-file=$1

yeah i was hoping for something with the java command as i am going to try
and run this as a service and my system doesnt, or should i say, didnt like
ant when i was trying to make the ofbiz service... it does normally... just
not in the service context

Maybe use a script (like the one I pasted), add the classpath, and have the
service call the script instead of java directly.

what would you put for the class path....this was the issue with the
creation of the service, and what i did (and im sure this was like a band
aid with a little staph in it, working at first but messing things up in
the long run) was to find all the directories with classes in them under
the ofbiz home add those to a txt file ":" delimited and read in the text
file as the CLASSPATH env variable...

With R13.07 use rather something like

java -jar ofbiz.jar install -file=test.file

  "-install" was valid until R12.04, please refer to the wiki

awesome... thanks a lot i will give it a go...and can it do multiple files
in a directory say

java -jar ofbiz.jar install -file=/filestoimport/*.xml

im actually working on yet another script to take all the xml files strip
them of the two line header and one line footer, concatenate and then
reapply the headers/footer, but this would be much easier

Using XSLT? That might eliminate some of the stripping and reapplying.

yeah ive already hammered out all the gawk scripts to output an xml
document and a simple sed script will take care of removing the
header/footer, and a simple cat headers strippedfiles footer command will
combine them back into one...im solid on that part

thanks anyhow im trying to wrap my head around java at the moment and
adding another language type (ive already learned so many) would just be a
hassle for now
