build.properties file (located in the root of the standalone release) and modify the hibernate.dialect to the following
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect
./build.sh or build.bat. This will configure CrowdID to use the Oracle dialect. build.bat in Crowd version 1.2.0. To fix the problem, please apply the patch described in CWD-638.If you do not wish to edit this file and run the build script, you can edit the jdbc.properties (which the above script modifies) directly. The jdbc.properties file is located here: crowd-openidserver-webapp\WEB-INF\classes\jdbc.properties. Modify the file to the following:
# - Crowd Configuration Options hibernate.connection.datasource=java\:comp/env/jdbc/CrowdIDDS hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle hibernate.transaction.factory_class=org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory ...
You should now have an application server configured to connect to a database, and CrowdID configured to use the correct database. Now start up CrowdID and watch the logs for any errors.
