OLD PROJECT, REQUIRES ESSENTIAL UPDATES

Installation

Download Tomcat

Run using Maven: clean install or clean package to generate a .war file.

Place the BoardNew-1.0.war file in the apache-tomcat-8.0.28\webapps directory

Start the Tomcat server: apache-tomcat-8.0.28\bin\startup.bat

In the directory apache-tomcat-8.0.28\webapps, directory named "board" will be automatically created.

Copy the configuration files Ads.hbm.xml, Users.hbm.xml, and hibernate.cfg.xml to apache-tomcat-8.0.28\webapps\BoardNew-1.0\WEB-INF\classes.

Open MySQL and start the mysqld.exe server. Open the cmd console, where you will run mysql and enter the following 4 commands sequentially:

create database bulletin_board;
use bulletin_board;
create table users (
  user varchar(20) not null primary key,
  password varchar(40) not null
) engine=InnoDB;
create table ads (
  id int not null primary key auto_increment,
  adName varchar(40) not null,
  headline varchar(30) not null,
  rubric varchar(10) not null,
  adText varchar(400) not null,
  adTime bigint not null
) engine=InnoDB;

In the configuration file apache-tomcat-8.0.28\webapps\BoardNew-1.0\WEB-INF\classes\hibernate.cfg.xml, find the following lines:

<property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/bulletin_board?autoReconnect=true&amp;useUnicode=true&amp;createDatabaseIfNotExist=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf-8</property>
<property name="connection.user">admin</property>
<property name="connection.password">password</property>

Change the port 3306 to the port of your MySQL server, admin (between the tags) to your username, and password (between the tags) to your password.
