The Pet Catalog application is a Java EE 6 sample that demonstrates usage of JavaServer Faces 2.0 and the Java Persistence API. Setup instructions here assume that you are using the following software components:
For more information on the Pet Catalog Sample Application, see: http://netbeans.org/kb/samples/pet-catalog.html.
Setup instructions use 'root
' / 'nbuser
' as the user
account / password combination for access to the MySQL server. Do not
use an empty database password.

<install-dir>
is the path to your MySQL
installation directory.)shell> mysql -u root mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('nbuser') WHERE User = 'root'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;For more information, see the official MySQL Reference Manual: Securing the Initial MySQL Accounts.
localhost

root
nbuser
petcatalog
. Select the
'Grant Full Access to' option, then select root@localhost
from
the drop-down field.
petcatalog
is
created, and a connection to the database is automatically established.
Connections are displayed in the Services window using a connection node (
catalog.sql
to open it in the IDE's editor.jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/petcatalog
connection that you
created in the previous step.The glassfish-resources.xml
file, included in the sample application, is a
GlassFish-specific deployment descriptor. If you open the file in the editor (from
the Projects window, Server Resources > glassfish-resources.xml
), you can
see that the file instructs the GlassFish server to create a connection pool named
petCatalogPool
using the 'root
' / 'nbuser
'
combination and jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/petcatalog
connection you
configured in the previous steps:
<jdbc-connection-pool allow-non-component-callers="false" associate-with-thread="false" connection-creation-retry-attempts="0" connection-creation-retry-interval-in-seconds="10" connection-leak-reclaim="false" connection-leak-timeout-in-seconds="0" connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlDataSource" fail-all-connections="false" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-connection-validation-required="false" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="true" lazy-connection-association="false" lazy-connection-enlistment="false" match-connections="false" max-connection-usage-count="0" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="petCatalogPool" non-transactional-connections="false" pool-resize-quantity="2" res-type="javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource" statement-timeout-in-seconds="-1" steady-pool-size="8" validate-atmost-once-period-in-seconds="0" wrap-jdbc-objects="false"> <property name="URL" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/petcatalog"/> <property name="User" value="root"/> <property name="Password" value="nbuser"/> </jdbc-connection-pool>
The glassfish-resources.xml
file also instructs the GlassFish server
to configure a data source that uses the petCatalogPool
connection
pool and sets its JNDI name to 'jdbc/petcatalog
':
<jdbc-resource enabled="true" jndi-name="jdbc/petcatalog" object-type="user" pool-name="petCatalogPool"> </jdbc-resource>
PetCatalog
project node
and choose Run. The project is compiled, packaged and deployed to GlassFish.
The deployed application then opens in your default browser.
