Vireo 4

Vireo 4 is a turnkey Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) Management System.

Compiling and creating the zip and war packages

$ mvn clean package

If all compile-time tests pass, you should have both a vireo-4.0.x-SNAPSHOT.war and a Vireo-4.0.x-SNAPSHOT-install.zip in the target/ directory.

Installing Zip Package to filesystem

Unzip package into preferred directory (or any directory you choose):

$ cd /opt/vireo
$ unzip ~/Vireo-4.0.x-SNAPSHOT-install.zip

Directory Structure of installed package

/opt/vireo$ ls
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 11:54 attachments
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct  2 15:36 conf
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 11 11:54 webapp

attachments -- where pdf's will be uploaded to
conf -- where the external config files reside
webapp -- the extracted WAR file

Installing WAR Package in Tomcat 7

Copy war file into Tomcat 7 webapps directory (your location may vary -- this is an example):

$ cd /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps
$ cp ~/vireo-4.0.x-SNAPSHOT.war vireo.war

Running as a stand-alone Spring Boot application

java -jar target/vireo-4.0.x-SNAPSHOT.war

Configuring

There is an external application.properties file under the conf directory that you can modify to override the values in the built-in application.properties.

NOTE: The conf directory is only available if deployed from the ZIP package.

NOTE: If you need an external configuration file to the WAR file, you'll need to put a conf directory in the same directory as the WAR file (whether running inside tomcat or as stand-alone Spring Boot application).

You should override the database config and the spring secret key.
