Installation

Clone the GitHub repository and then import Social-App-By-J2EE.war into your eclipse.

git clone https://github.com/weijian2/Social-App-By-J2EE

To import WAR file into Eclipse JEE, click on File -> Import. Select Web -> WAR File.

• WAR file: Provide the full pathname of the WAR file on your computer.
• Web project: This will pre-fill based on the WAR file name. You can change it, which is handy if you’re experimenting.
• Target runtime: You will need to select “Apache Tomcat 8.5”. The first time you import a WAR file (or create new “Dynamic Web Project”) you will need to declare the new runtime environment. Do this by clicking on “New” and filling in the form as follows:
  • Apache Tomat v8.5, then click “Next”
  • Provide the Tomcat installation directory by giving the full pathname of the directory containing your unzipped version of Tomcat 8.5.
  • Click “Finished”.
• Click "Finished".

Run the imported project by “right-clicking” on the new project and selecting “Run As -> Run on Server.
After Installing MySQL, create the anonymous account and the “test” database by using following code

mysql -u root –p
alter user user() identified by '';
create user ''@'localhost' identified by password '';
grant all privileges on *.* to ''@'localhost';
create database test;
exit;
