I don't know what steps you've taken to get this but if you run a standard installation of KonaKart - now bundled with tomcat7 - and load a MSSQL db during the installation you should have no problems.   We do this automatically many times every day in our test systems.

Not sure why you're getting this.

I just installed exactly your version went to Tags and I had no problem.

Can you verify the same behaviour with a fresh install?

If your company has a support contract with us please start a more in-depth dialogue through those channels.

first you showed Windows, now *nix... I don't know what you're doing.

you must be in the right (custom) directory for it to find the build.xml

If you are in the custom directory it should find the build.xml file that's there.

I am trying to integrate Konakart with a current web application.  Because Konakart has a struts framework, we cannot use the front end that comes with it.  Instead, we need to include the jar files and make the API calls to the back-end while keeping our current web application as the front-end.

Yes this is a common approach.

I'm not sure what's wrong with your Netbeans set up and I don't actually recognise that exception.

One thing you could do is to install KonaKart on your system, move into the java_api_examples directory then run ANT on the build file that's there which should run that same API example:

Here is the first bit of what you should see:

Code Select Expand

C:\Program Files\KonaKart\java_api_examples>..\custom\bin\kkant

     [echo] Copy Properties for the examples

Once you get that to work perhaps you could compare that with your Netbeans set-up ...  look at the build file to see what is on the classpath..  does that give you any clues?

I don't know what the problem is but I am suspicious of your tomcat location...  I wouldn't use one with spaces in the directory name.   That always used to be a problem so I would avoid that like the plague.

Another reason to use the APIs is that these should remain backwards-compatible in future releases preserving your investment in the code you write against KonaKart - making it easy for you to upgrade to future versions for bug fixes and new features.   The managers used by the engines are more likely to change than the APIs.... 

Another option is:

If you have a requirement for the Admin App you can ask KonaKart for a quote for supplying that functionality so that it remains in the product in future versions and you don't have to maintain it.

If the feature is considered general enough to be useful to other KonaKart users in the future we tend to share the development costs 50-50 so it can be a cost-effective way to get the functionality you require.

Send your request to sales @ konakart . com if you're interested.

From your exception:

Cannot rename original file to C:\Program Files\KonaKart\bin\..\conf\tomcat-users.xml.old

It just looks like a permissions problem.

why in liferay I have only the konakart portlet, but not the admin portlet?

You should check the Liferay logs while you're deploying.  You might see the answer in the log.

In the soon-to-be-released v6.0.0.0 of KonaKart we bundle tomcat 7

I'm not sure how you're running this...   but you can set the log flags as you like to see what's happening:

Code Select Expand

# KonaKart XML Import/Export
log4j.logger.com.konakart.importer.xml        = DEBUG


If your company has a support contract with us please contact us directly by email at support @ konakart.com for a more in-depth discussion on your use of XML_IO because there may be better ways to achieve what you need.

That velocity template is in the 5.5.0.2 zip package in precisely the location mentioned in that error so I don't know why you don't see it.   (I assume you are referring to the 5.5.0.2 version - it's more helpful if you specify the version number you're using).

If you use the zip installation you have to be prepared to configure it properly for your platform (Linux, Windows...)

This is one reason why it's advisable to use the wizard installer which does a lot of this configuration for you automatically.

It's a very nice site Andrea - well done !    Hopefully our v6.0 release will be out within a few weeks and you can take advantage of some fancy jQuery features to make it even fancier!

Take a look at the Programming Guide section of the KonaKart User Guide.

It explains quite a few different techniques.

You may wish to specialise a manager and plug that in...  see "Pluggable Managers"

I'm not sure why that was missed off in the 5.5.0.2 build  but please find it attached.

Thanks for pointing that out.
