What do we have? We now have a new empty forms database named "cmwork". to add tables, we will use the script that is included in your war file (which is now exploded into your Eclipse Tomcat Server environment).

Click the "Run Script link"

C:\yourworkspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\webapps\GalenaAdmin\html\app\NewEmptyDatabase.sql

Configure Database In the server:
The database is built, but it is not available to either your application, nor GalenaAdmin. To make the a database available, it must be configured into the servers context.xml file and the web.xml file. These files are located in the "Server" project in your workspace.

You can manually add the Database resources to these files, or you can let GAdmin do it for you. Let's first look at the manual process for adding resources to Context.xml.
	<Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
	maxActive="100" maxIdle="10" maxWait="10000" name="jdbc/cmworkq"
	password="admin" type="javax.sql.DataSource" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/cmworkq"
	username="root" />
				
...and for Web.xml
				
	<resource-ref>
		<res-ref-name>jdbc/cmworkq</res-ref-name>
		<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
		<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
		<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
	</resource-ref>
				
Ok, enough of that manual non-sense - To let GAdmin add the proper entries, you must first make sure to select the resource you want to configure.

1) click the link to search for the "Server" folder, then select the Tomcat folder which contains your context.xml file.

2) Select the context.xml file, and click ok.

3) Now verify that the path shown is correct.

4) Click the Update button to save any changes

5) Click the "Upd Web/Conext" button.

REFRESH THE SERVER PROJECT! Since the web, and context.xml files have been modified from outside Eclipse, it is unaware of the change. You need to now refresh the server and I always recommend doing a clean on the server before restarting.

Keep it all clean! Stop the Server, and Clean it.

Restart Tomcat! Once Tomcat is running you are ready to run GAdmin and begin configuring and building the new application.
