Answer 1

First, you can try the http://localhost:8080/bookstore1/banner.
If /banner cann't run, it should be the deploy problem.
If this can run, but /bookstore and other alias cann't run, the reason
should be the database connect issue.
To resolve database connect issue:
1. Get the database name:
go to $InstallDir\pointbase\tools\serveroption
run startserver.bat to start pointbase
run startconsole.bat to start database console, after you connect to databse,
you can see the jdbc:pointbase:sample on the menu. Here sample is the database name.
2. Verify JDBC setting in application server:
Application Server
--> JDBC
--> Connection Pool
--> PointBasePool
--> Properties
DatabaseName = jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost:9092/sample
(notice: here the sample must same as the database name in Item 1)
User=pbpublic
Password=pbpublic
3. Notice:
1) When run sample, first start pointbase database, then start application server
2) At the beginning, you can type "c" in pointbase service consle to see active connections link to database.
If after the application server started, if no active connections shown, this means your JDBC setting is wrong. You need to double check your setting.
3) Seems the pointbase only can accept 1 connect at the same time. So before run application server, you need to close the pointbase admin console.
I am also a beginner to J2EE.
Also looking forward for your kindly support!
Thanks in advance!
