Database

• For a relational data store, we recommend running MySQL locally with three databases:
  • one for KFS OLTP
  • one for standalone Rice OLTP
  • one with KFS/Rice bundled for unit testing

  • the following statements will setup a new MySQL database/user (kfs) for development purposes

    create user kfs@localhost identified by 'kfs';
    create user kfs@'%' identified by 'kfs';
    create database kfs default character set 'utf8' default collate 'utf8_bin';
    grant all on kfs.* to kfs@localhost with grant option;
    grant all on kfs.* to kfs@'%' with grant option;

• For the document data store, we recommend running MongoDB locally.

Application

• We recommend building and running KFS locally. The KFS war can be build using maven and deployed to a container such as Tomcat.

  mvn -DskipTests=true package

   

  Note, the -DskipTests=true is optional, but if you don't skip the tests, they will take some time to run and aren't strictly necessary for packaging the KFS war.

• We recommend building and running a Standalone Rice instance locally. The Rice war can also be built using maven and deployed to a container such as Tomcat. See the Rice Documentation.
