I currently have knowledge of JSP and Servlets and want to use MongoDB, but I can find only ways to use Mongo with maven. Just want to ask if i can use Mongo without maven?
Yes you can. Maven is a build and dependency management tool. MongoDB is a Database. They are completly unrelated. With Maven it is just simpler to gather MongoDB java driver dependency. You just need to declare it in your maven pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
<artifactId>mongo-java-driver</artifactId>
<version>2.10.1</version>
</dependency>
Without maven, you need to manually download the required jar file and manually add it to your classpath. Use this location to get the required jar file:
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/org/mongodb/mongo-java-driver/
Then you can just continue according to any MongoDB tutorial, such as:
http://www.mkyong.com/mongodb/java-mongodb-hello-world-example/

I want my java application to communicate with JIRA how can i achieve this functinality. I mean what configuratons are need to add, what are jar files etc ?
You actually don't need Jar files if your java project is using Maven. Just add maven dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
<artifactId>jira-api</artifactId>
<version>${atlassian.product.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
If you are not using maven as build system to your project. Download jar from maven directly and add it to your project.
Follow the documentation https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/java-apis/ and start development
I am planning to user Jackrabbit for developing an online document library.
To develop simple POCs, i have put the jackrabbit-standalone.jar inside my class path and everything works fine.
But on opening the jackrabbit-standalone.jar, i found out that it's a web project in itself.
I copied all the jars from jackrabbit-standalone.jar/WEB-INF/lib and kept in my class path and my project again works fine.
My concern here is that I don't want to keep any extra jars in my project. So my question is :
What are the minimal jars which are required to interact with
Jackrabbit repository?
What is the best way of using jackrabbit in a web project, as per enterprise standards. Is it using standalone jar in the class path or using only the required jars?
I won't ask why you want cut out unnecessary jars for a POC.
Do you use maven? If so, you just add jackrabbit-core and it will pull down dependencies.
If you require the JCR API you'll also need jackrabbit-spi2jcr.
Otherwise, this is what we end up with (version 2.6.4):
commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
commons-dbcp-1.3.jar
commons-pool-1.5.4.jar
concurrent-1.3.4.jar
jackrabbit-api-2.6.4.jar
jackrabbit-core-2.6.4.jar
jackrabbit-jcr-commons-2.6.4.jar
jackrabbit-spi-2.6.4.jar
jackrabbit-spi-commons-2.6.4.jar
jackrabbit-spi2jcr-2.6.4.jar
jcl-over-slf4j-1.6.4.jar
jcr-2.0.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar
lucene-core-3.6.0.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.4.jar
tika-core-1.3.jar
You can dispense with the logging jars if not needed. Not sure if you can get rid of lucene-core as I believe it's used internally.
Regarding how to use jackrabbit, that's entirely up to you. You can use it as standalone server or, like us, as your persistence layer. We use the JCR api.
you can use maven or gradle to manage dependencies for you.
If you are using maven, you can find out the dependency tree with command :
mvn dependency:tree
and review the relations between artifacts.
And you can exclude parts you don't want with exclude expressions:
<dependency>
<groupId>sample.ProjectA</groupId>
<artifactId>Project-A</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion> <!-- declare the exclusion here -->
<groupId>sample.ProjectB</groupId>
<artifactId>Project-B</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
I have a Maven project in Java. I am new to all of these concepts. I created a Restful project which works well with a file repository. But I want to change that to a mongo repository.
So I added my repository class, then I need to add the mongo libraries. I right click on the project and select Maven --> Update, but the libraries are not being downloaded. So I add them myself via Project Build path and this makes my project to compile.
However at runtime I get the exception of classNotFound for mongo classes.
I read some posts and added these line to pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
<artifactId>mongo-java-driver</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
</dependency>
Still not compiling. How should I add the libraries in a way that it compiles and also at runtime my program can find those classes?
Where did you get 1.3 for a version? The latest is 2.12.1.
Refer to Is there a Java interface to Cassandra database that works out of the box? for my original issue.
I determined that the cassandra thrift API jar file I downloade was incomplete or out of sync with the Hector API. Where can I download it? I haven't been able to find a download for it from the official site.
The Maven repository are always a good choice for precompiled libs:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.cassandra/cassandra-thrift
It also lists all dependencies. You could also use a Maven file (or another compatible build system) to download the lib with all it's dependencies automatically.
As far as I know there isn't an official jar that you can download. But you can grab the source-code here and compile it yourself:
http://thrift.apache.org/download/
If you use maven then you can just include the following in your pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.thrift</groupId>
<artifactId>libthrift</artifactId>
<version>x.y.z</version>
</dependency>
If you download one of the release tgz files from https://github.com/rantav/hector/downloads it has the correct cassandra thrift to match the version of hector.
Is there a tutorial somewhere which shows how to use spring framework with maven instead of ant? This one seems very good but it's all built with ant.
EDIT
I really don't know which answer to accept both are valid. I'll wait for some time let the community decide
Basically, the build.xml of the tutorial has 3 main targets :
build the application
deploy it on Tomcat server
Unit testing using a in-memory database (hsqldb)
Regarding the first point, you will just need to create a war project on Maven. As you told in your comment, you are already using Maven in anothers projects, so I don't think it will cause you lots of troubles. You will just need to add the Spring dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>2.5.2</version>
</dependency>
The second part concerns the deployment on Tomcat. Just use the cargo plugin for that.
For the last point, you will just need to add the HSQLDB dependency in your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>hsqldb</groupId>
<artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId>
<version>1.8.0.7</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Then, you will have to instanciate the database in one of your JUnit test case...
If you already know maven, then you can quickly start working with spring using this archetype
appfuse-basic-spring
Note that it sets everything up for Spring MVC, Spring and Hibernate so you should remove unnecessary files. Still, it's a great start.
If you don't know much about maven templates check this URL that explains how to use archetypes. An archetype is basically a project template.
The complete list of templates can be found here.
The Spring 3.0 samples are Maven based:
