Pentaho CDF Installation Manual
Today I have to learn to use Pentaho Community Dashboard Framework (CDF). Downloaded it, I can’t find how to install it to existing installed Pentaho. Wandering, I found it here.
Manual Install of CDF when not using Pedro’s installation project:
1. Select form project-cdf/patches either the folder target-preconfiguredinstall or target-preconfiguredinstall-tomcat, depending if you are running JBoss or Tomcat.
2.Copy all files from the subfolders of target-preconfigured… into the respective subfolders on your machine.
(CAUTION: Do not copy web.xml, but add only the tags (2) related to the Dashboards.jsp to your web.xml)
3. Copy the Dashbods folder from project-cdf/solution to your solution repository
4. Copy all files from the subfolders in project-cdf/patches/project-cdf/solution to the respective subfolders in your solution repository
That should be it!
The portion that needed to be added to web.xml is
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Dashboards</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/jsp/Dashboards.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
and
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Dashboards</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Dashboards</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Sun DaVinci
Yesterday I found out about Sun’s DaVinci VM that will broaden JVM language support. Obviously, it won’t give equal support to all. For instance, statically typed language like Java will be supported better than dynamically typed like (J)Ruby. On the other hand, because it is a fork of the current JVM, I think we can hope some wilder experiment can give it some boosts.
Let’s see
language power matters more
Today I visited again Kuwata Lab website after a long time. There, I read a PDF Makoto presented at Ruby Kaigi 2007 showing that a pure Ruby based template engine can outperform C based one, even Java’s Velocity.
In the end, language power matters more
