2. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Customization Approaches  User / Administrator Customizations  Available via the application UI  Maintainable/Persisted via Institutional data  Developer  Code based  Integration Approach : Maven War Overlay

3. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” User Customizations  User / Administrator Customizations  Maintenance artifacts  Parameter Maintenance  Workflow route path nodes & rules  KIM

4. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Customization  Provide configuration for institutional customization  Extend  Override : Override class (same package, and same class name), method.  Use Maven overlay  Maven What is it?: build, dependency, project management tool Good : Dependency Management, many plugins, works with Eclipse Improvement required : Poor documentation, rigid, high learning curve, not all plugins well tested.  Maven/war plugin/Overlay shares common resources across multiple web applications. Merges between an original war and other code/files that you develop.  KC uses maven  Confluence page Link : https://wiki.kuali.org/display/KRADOC/KC+Customization

5. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Use Case : Services, struts actions, and forms  Spring : Bean customization, mostly services.  CustomSpringBeans.xml : overrides kc spring beans adds new beans. This file name is added to kc-bootstrap-springbeans.xml.  Struts-config : action and form classes.  struts-custom-config.xml : overrides kc's struts configuration adds new struts configuration. This file is defined in web.xml. /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml, /WEB- INF/struts-custom-config.xml

6. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Use case : DD, rule, authorization  DD :  modify bo properties.  Rule class  Authorization class  Defined in CustomSpringBeans.xml. org/kuali/kra/custom/datadictionary

7. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Use case : Web Contents & Bo  Web content - JSPs, tags, images  The maven "overlay" can overlay the customized web content over kc_project.  BO :  Extends BO is complicated  Override Bo  Use rice extended attributes  KC Custom Data

8. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Configuration  Kc-bootstrap-springbeans.xml   Web.xml  /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml, /WEB-INF/struts-custom- config.xml  CustomSpringBeans.xml   org/kuali/kra/datadictionary  org/kuali/kra/datadictionary/docs   org/kuali/kra/custom/repository-custom.xml   Message :  ApplicationResources, CustomApplicationResources

9. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Check out KC_PROJECT and install war & jar to local maven repository  install kc_project to local maven repository  Check out : https://svn.kuali.org/repos/kc -> branches-> kc_project_bootcamp  In command line, go to checked out project directory and execute following mvn commands :  mvn generate-sources  mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install  mvn jar:jar  mvn install:install-file -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.kuali.kra - DartifactId=kc_project -Dversion=4.0 -DpomFile=pom.xml -Dfile=target/kc_project- 4.0.jar  mvn jar:test-jar  mvn install:install-file -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.kuali.kra - DartifactId=kc_project_test -Dversion=4.0 -DgeneratePom=true - Dfile=target/kc_project-4.0-tests.jar

10. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Steps to create KC_custom project  check out from svn Or Create kc_custom from scratch  Check out : https://svn.kuali.org/repos/kc -> custom  Apply patch custom40-base.patch  Customization configurations files not included in R2  do customization in kc_custom  create war file for kc_custom with the overlay of kc_project  mvn -f pom_war.xml -U clean compile war:war

11. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 1 : Override/extend Service  Extends MeetingServiceImpl from Foundation  Override “addOtherAction” Call super. addOtherAction(newOtherAction, committeeSchedule) Add System.out.println to verify it  Need to override the meetingService in CustomSpringBeans.xml

12. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 1 : Steps to verify  Central Admin -> Post-Submission Compliance -> schedules  In ‘Committee Schedule Lookup’ page Schedule Date From : 04/01/2012 Schedule Date To : 04/30/2012 Click ‘search’ button Click ‘edit’ link of the retrieved item.  In Meeting page Add ‘other action’  Check console to see if the “message” you added is displayed.

13. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 1 : Solution  Extends MeetingServiceImpl public class MeetingServiceImpl extends org.kuali.kra.meeting.MeetingServiceImpl  CustomSpringBeans.xml

14. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 2 : Override Struts Action  Extends MeetingManagementAction Override “start”, and add System.out.println to verify it. Need to override struts “action” in strut-custom- config.xml  Override “MeetingActionsAction” class copy/paste this class from foundation to kc_custom in the same packge. Add System.out.ptintln in ‘generateAgenda’ method

15. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 2 : Steps to verify  Central Admin -> Post-Submission Compliance -> schedules  In ‘Committee Schedule Lookup’ page  Schedule Date From : 04/01/2012  Schedule Date To : 04/30/2012  Click ‘search’ button  Click ‘edit’ link of the retrieved item.  Navigate to Meeting actions page  In ‘Agenda’ tab, click ‘submit’ button to generate agenda.  Check console to see if the “message” you added is displayed.

16. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 2 : Solution  Struts-custom-config.xml

17. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 3 : Override DD and message  Extends ProtocolDocumentRule and add a system out message “Custom ProtocolDocumentRule “ in “processCustomSaveDocumentBusinessRules”  Change ProtocolDocument.xml (DD) to reference the new rule class  Change Protocol.xml to use ‘Custom Title” for “"Protocol-title“ label.  Change message in CustomApplicationResources.properties error.investigator.notFound  Add “ ApplicationResources, CustomApplicationResources ” to local kc-config.xml  Restart jetty

18. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 3 : Steps to verify  In Researcher -> Create Irb Protocol  Enter required fields  Click ‘save’

19. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 3 : Solution  Change ProtocolDocument.xml (DD) to reference the new rule class.  Change message in CustomApplicationResources.properties error.investigator.notFound=A Principal Investigator must be assigned to the Protocol - custom.  Add “ ApplicationResources, CustomApplicationResources ” to local kc-config.xml

20. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 4 : Unit test Create AddDisclosureReporterUnitRuleTest by extending foundation’s class. Override ‘testMissingUnitNumber’ Create a new test dummy method. Add system.out.println to verify it. Run junit test.

21. 2012 KCC User Conference - “Together Toward Tomorrow” Lesson 5: Tomcat 1. add mongrel plugin to eclipse Location : http://mongrel.sourceforge.net/updates/ 2. down load apach tomcat 3. goto eclipse/preference/mongrel to set up tomcat home 4. create a kc-dev.xml and dropped to tomcat_home/conf/catalina/localhost below is the kc-dev.xml I used With this docbase set up, you'll have more flexibility; so you don't have to build war file for deployment. 5. copy oracle driver/mysql driver to target\kc_custom-4.0\WEB-INF/lib or tomcat_home/lib
