Comments SQL Store component

The Comments SQL Store component can be used together with the Dashboard component. In this case the comments from the dashboard will be saved using the CommentDao implementation from the Comments SQL Store component.

Add the artifact with groupId "com.blueriq" and artifactId "blueriq-component-comments-sql-store" as a dependency to your Blueriq runtime POM file.

In order to use this component, the comments-sql-store profile must be active. More information on how to configure the application using Spring Profiles can be found here : Application configuration with Spring Profiles.

In order to use this component, make sure to have the BlueriqComponentComments.dll in the /bin directory of your .NET webapp installation.

Use the following steps to configure the datasource:

1. If necessary, create a new datasource. See Configuring JDBC database drivers for information on how to do this.
2. Comments SQL Store component is using the comments-sql-store datasource to store data. The comments-sql-store datasource can be configured using JDBC or JNDI.
   

   1. Using JDBC datasource : this can be configured in the  application-externaldatasources.properties file. When configuring external datasources, the externaldatasources profile should be enabled.

      application-externaldatasources.properties

      blueriq.datasource.comments-sql-store.url=jdbc:sqlserver://<database_url>:<port>;databaseName=bq_comments;instance=SQL_EXPRESS
      blueriq.datasource.comments-sql-store.username=<username>
      blueriq.datasource.comments-sql-store.password=<password>
      blueriq.datasource.comments-sql-store.driverClassName=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
      blueriq.hibernate.comments-sql-store.hbm2ddl.auto=validate
      blueriq.hibernate.comments-sql-store.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect

   2. Using JNDI datasource : this can be configured in the  application-jndidatasources.properties file When configuring JNDI datasources the jndidatasources profile should be enabled.

      application-jndidatasources.properties

      blueriq.datasource.comments-sql-store.jndiName=java:/comp/env/jdbc/main
      blueriq.hibernate.comments-sql-store.hbm2ddl.auto=validate
      blueriq.hibernate.comments-sql-store.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect

3. Configuring the datasource from the Development Dashboard
   Go to Settings Widget → Datasources tab → On the left side menu : select comments-sql-store datasource. The same properties are available for configuration as from the properties file. Make sure the corresponding profile is enabled (externaldatasources or jndidatasources)
4. Hibernate settings
   These settings are done for each datasource type in the corresponding properties file, as in the examples above.
   
   

Supported dialects:

• org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect (for SQL Server)
• org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect (for Oracle)
• org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect (for H2) (we do not recommend using a H2 database in production environments)

Supported hbm2ddl.auto values:

• none
• validate

Configuring the database connection for the Comments SQL Store component in .Net is done by adding a connection configuration to the 

<hibernate-configuration>
  <session-factories>
    <session-factory name="CommentsDao">
      <properties>
        <property name="connection.provider" value="NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider" />
        <property name="dialect" value="NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2012Dialect" />
        <property name="connection.driver_class" value="NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver" />
        <property name="connection.connection_string" value="Server=HOST\SQLEXPRESS;Database=test;User Id=USERNAME;Password=PASSWORD;" />
        <property name="show_sql" value="false" />
        <property name="current_session_context_class" value="Aquima.WebApplication.WebPersistenceUtility.Session.CurrentHibernateSessionContext, WebPersistenceUtility" />
      </properties>
    </session-factory>
  </session-factories>
</hibernate-configuration>

Supported dialects:

• NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2012Dialect

All necessary DLL files on which the Comments SQL Store component depends can be found in the /bin directory of the .NET webapp ZIP file.
