Enter the spring-roo-1.2.0.RELEASE\bin path into the PATH variable of the system environment
Open up a command prompt and check if roo is working fine
Change to a test directory where you want to build this project
project --topLevelPackage com.myp.rootest
jpa setup --database MYSQL --provider HIBERNATE --hostName localhost --userName root --password password --databaseName rootest
Introspect & revere engineer
Now you need to introspect the existing DB and reverse engineer the db tables .
You may end up with the following problem
roo> database introspect --schema no-schema-required
Spring Roo automatic add-on discovery service currently unavailable
JDBC driver not available for 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
roo>
The solution is to execute the following
osgi start --url file:///C:/Users<your folder>/repository/mysql/mysql-connector-java/5.1.18/mysql-connector-java-5.1.18.jar
or the path to mysql connector jar file.
And then the following
database introspect --schema no-schema-required
reverse engineer the db now ,
database reverse engineer --schema rootest --excludeTables jbpm4_* --package ~.domain
web mvc setup
web mvc all --package ~.web
perform package
summary
project --topLevelPackage com.myp.rootest
jpa setup --database MYSQL --provider HIBERNATE --hostName localhost --userName root --password password --databaseName rootest
database introspect --schema no-schema-required
database reverse engineer --schema rootest --excludeTables jbpm4_* --package ~.domain
web mvc setup
web mvc all --package ~.web
perform package
exit
mvn tomcat:run
then go to http://localhost:8080/rootest
changes and updates to the existing project – how to
if the database has changed or updated as in Update or alter the schema, then you need to run spring roo DBRE again and build the project.
database reverse engineer --schema rootest --excludeTables jbpm4_* --package ~.domain
Run perform package again to update the files .
Refreshing the changes in STS IDE
