1. Log onto CirrusGrid.
2. Create environment with CouchDB database:
3. Check your email box for getting credentials to access CouchDB node:
4. Then create a file mydb.cfg in Config Manager (folder HOME). This file contains information on connecting to CouchDB. This info will be read by your application:
5. In this step you have to prepare part of java code that creates connection to your DB:
import com.fourspaces.couchdb.*; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Properties; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; public class CouchdbConnector { public boolean createDatabase(String name) { try { //Read file mydb.cfg Properties prop = new Properties(); prop.load(new FileInputStream(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/mydb.cfg")); //Getting info we need: host, port, username, password String host = prop.getProperty("host").toString(); int port = Integer.parseInt(prop.getProperty("port").toString()); String username = prop.getProperty("username").toString(); String password = prop.getProperty("password").toString(); Session dbSession = new Session(host, port, username, password); dbSession.createDatabase(name); try { dbSession.getDatabase(name); } catch (Exception e) { return false; } } catch (IOException ex) { Logger.getLogger(CouchdbConnector.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } return true; } }
NOTE: you have to upload all libraries that CouchDB connection needs!
6. Deploy application: couchdb.war
7. Run deployed application and input database name you want to create:
Input database name:
8. Check CouchDB server if it contains “new” database:
run CouchDB instance in browser:
input credentials that you got on e-mail;
check database presence.
