Overview
This document is intended to supplement the Kuali Rice 2.1.2 Installation Guide and aid the creation of an embedded rice client application. The information on this page is targeted for the Rice 2.1.2 release.
Running a Rice client application in Embedded Mode means:
- one or more Rice modules - in particular, KEW and KIM - is are executing from within the client application
- a database is shared by MyInfoVault and the client application has direct access to the Rice Standalone Server database
Access to the Rice Database
...
- A database account with access to the Rice database
- LDAP Service Accounts on
ldap.ucdavis.edu
fordc=ucdavis,dc=edu
and {{dc=iet,dc=ucdavis,dc=edu} trees. - Procure Procure the UC Davis-specific
rice-api
andrice-impl
JARs and all transitive JARs for the modules you will be embedding along with any of their associated dependencies using either of the following methods: - A transactional data source where the local client application's Rice tables are located. This is required by JOTM.

- A non-transactional data source pointing to those same Rice tables. This is required by Quartz.

Properties Configuration
We use a simple XML configuration to declare properties as key-value pairs. For example:
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<config>
<param name="datasource.ojb.platform">Oracle</param>
<param name="datasource.platform">org.kuali.rice.core.database.platform.OraclePlatform</param>
<param name="datasource.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbhost.ucdavis.edu:1521:SID</param>
<param name="datasource.driver.name">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</param>
<param name="datasource.pool.validationQuery">select 1 from duak</param>
<param name="datasource.pool.maxWait">30000</param>

<param name="datasource.password">my_db_password</param>
<config>

Core Data Source Configuration
Kuali Rice uses Java Open Transaction Manager, so we declare the appropriate beans.
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
<bean id="jotm" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JotmFactoryBean">
<property name="defaultTimeout" value="${transaction.timeout}"/>
</bean>
<bean id="jtaTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="jotm"/>
<property name="userTransaction" ref="jotm"/>
</bean>
|
We must declare three data sources:
- Download JARs for the specific module from this location in the Artifactory , selecting the most recent version.
- A certificate for the machines hosting the client application that will be connecting to the Rice Standalone Server.
- See Rice Client Application Certificate Requirements for certificate details.
Rice Libraries
In Rice 1.0.x, there were only two main jars, rice-api and rice-impl. With the modularity work there are more api jars corresponding to service apis and framework components. Additionally, the implementation module has been split (though there is still a shared implementation module as not all components of the Rice implementation have been fully modularized as of the Rice 2.x.x release). This work was done according to the design outlined at the following page: Modularity Design
The libraries and their dependencies required for the modules which your application will be using must be included in your client application. Ideally you only include the modules of rice you are using. In practice, you may need to include them all until rice's modularity work is complete. The only modules rice recommends compiling against are api & framework modules.
Below is a list of the old 1.0.3.3 libraries and their 2.x.x counterparts:

KEW Service Configuration
As of 1.0.1.1-UCD-SR1d, Rice applications will no longer encrypt workflow document content. This is accomplished by disabling encryption using the out-of-the-box non-encryption implementation (org.kuali.rice.core.service.impl.NoEncryptionEncryptionServiceImpl
). It is instantiated by declaring classpath:edu/ucdavis/kuali/rice/kim/config/ucd-kew-service.xml
in the Spring context.
Consequently, the encryption.key
property is no longer required.
KNS Service Configuration
As of 1.0.1.1-UCD-SR1d, Rice applications will no longer encrypt maintenance document content. This is accomplished by disabling encryption using the out-of-the-box non-encryption implementation (org.kuali.rice.core.service.impl.NoEncryptionEncryptionServiceImpl
). It is instantiated by declaring classpath:edu/ucdavis/kuali/rice/kim/config/ucd-kns-service.xml
in the Spring context.
Consequently, the encryption.key
property is no longer required.
UCD Spring Bean Configuration
Declare the UCD-implemented Rice services using either of the following methods:
- Declare them as part of the
rice.additionalSpringFiles
property and pass that as a token into therice
beanCode Block borderStyle solid title /usr/local/rice/rice-config.xml <param name="rice.additionalSpringFiles">classpath:edu/ucdavis/kuali/rice/kim/config/ucd-kim-service.xml,classpath:edu/ucdavis/kuali/rice/kim/config/ucd-kew-service.xml,classpath:edu/ucdavis/kuali/rice/kim/config/ucd-kns-service.xml</param>

). It is instantiated by declaring classpath:edu/ucdavis/kuali/rice/kew/config/ucd-kew-service.xml
in the Spring context.
Consequently, the encryption.key

KRAD Service Configuration
- Maintenance Document Encryption
- As of 1.0.1.1-UCD-SR1d, Rice applications will no longer encrypt maintenance document content.
- This is accomplished by disabling encryption using the out-of-the-box non-encryption implementation (
org.kuali.rice.core.
impl.encryption.NoEncryptionEncryptionServiceImpl
).- Disable encryption by declaring the
classpath:edu/ucdavis/kuali/rice/
krad/config/ucd
-krad-service.xml
Spring file (see UCD Spring Bean Configuration).- Remove (or comment out) references to the
encryption.key
property (e.g. in rice-config.xml, kc-config.xml, embedded-client-config.xml, etc.).
UCD Spring Bean Configuration
Declare the UCD-implemented Rice services:

CoreConfigurer Bean Configuration
Finally, we declare the rice
coreConfigurer
bean and inject all of the core data source beans into it along with any required additional Spring files.
