Please create the setenv.sh file, using your favourite editor, place the script lines into it.
then source it. I updated that section of the blog too.

Thanks,

thanks for the nice article but there is a little problem with the shell script:

bash: setenv.sh: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `/home/user1/workspace/hessian/lib/jetty-util-6.1.12.jar’
bash: setenv.sh: line 4: `/home/user1/workspace/hessian/lib/jetty-util-6.1.12.jar’

anything wrong i did?

P/S: This is the content of the setenv.sh after sourced:

#!/bin/bash
CLASSPATH=”.”
for myjar in /home/david/workspace/hessian/lib/hessian-3.2.0.jar
/home/david/workspace/hessian/lib/jetty-util-6.1.12.jar
/home/david/workspace/hessian/lib/servlet-api-2.5-6.1.12.jar
/home/david/workspace/hessian/lib/jetty-6.1.12.jar; do CLASSPATH=.:; done;
export CLASSPATH

Thanks for the tip. its really good news to me.

As for running into Database locks, i find that strange … AFAIK, sqlite supports concurrent access from within the same process. i.e. its thread-safe. Its not multi-process-save, but it is multi-thread-safe. further investigation is needed to validate my argument of course.

- Drop the JDBC Driver in your libs/ directoy
- Write a Hibernate SQLite Dialect (I found on on the web: http://elbart0.free.fr/SQLiteDialect.java.txt)
- Adjust the DataSource settings with the SQLite-specific settings. Especially, you need to indicate your SQLite Dialect since Grails won’t detect it by itself.

That should work. However, keep in mind that SQLite is not a multi-user database engine. I ran into the “Database Locked” problem (just search the web for this issue and you know what I mean), which I suspect, has to do with concurrent users. Therefore I would not recommend using SQLite in a web application.

Not that I can think of, no. If someone can try it and confirm, I’ll make sure to mention the fact.

s = “a string”
s.class.methods.each {println it}

Indeed it did.

Credit goes to you for that.

Thanks for passing by,
- Kefah.

I’m glad my initial frustrations served up a good solution for you.

Thanks for the tip.

I’ve done some research and found that SQLite is not Hibernate friendly (at least not yet). Which is really sad for such a great engine.

I wonder if there is any initiative on this matter, as this would be a great boon for grails.

The universal library will by default use a native library, but revert back to the pure Java version if a suitable lib cannot be found, conn.getDriverVersion() will return “native” if a native lib is being used.

The old format of separate jars is still provided, so to chose one or the other use the appropriate jar.
