+# Spring PetClinic Sample Application
+
+## What does it look like?
+spring-petclinic has been deployed here on cloudfoundry: http://spring-petclinic.cloudfoundry.com/
+
+## Running petclinic locally
+```git clone https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-petclinic.git
+mvn tomcat7:run```
+You can then access petclinic here: http://localhost:9966/petclinic/
+
+
+
+
+## Petclinic in Eclipse/STS
+
+###prerequisites
+The following items should be installed in your system:
+* Maven 3 (http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/installation.html)
+* git command line tool
+Maven 3 should be installed on your system.
+If you're not sure how to install Maven, you can follow the instructions here: 
+
+You then have several options:
+
+A) Using the command line and the m2e plugin for Eclipse/STS 
+
+In the command line
+```git clone https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-petclinic.git```
+Inside Eclipse: make sure that Eclipse Maven Integration (m2e) is installed. 
+(You should have m2 icon in Help -> About dialog)
+If m2e is not there and if you wish to install it:  http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/
+
+```File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven project```
+
+
+
+B) Using Maven the command line
+git clone git@github.com:michaelisvy/mvc-layout-samples.git
+cd mvc-layout-samples
+mvn eclipse:eclipse
+
+NO_M2ECLIPSE_SUPPORT: Project files created with the maven-eclipse-plugin are not supported in M2Eclipse.
+
+Your project is now ready to be imported into Eclipse.

+==========================================================================
+=== Data Access Strategies
+==========================================================================
+
+PetClinic features alternative DAO implementations and application
+configurations for JDBC, Hibernate, and JPA, with HSQLDB and MySQL as
+target databases. The default PetClinic configuration is JDBC on HSQLDB.
+See "src/main/resources/jdbc.properties" as well as web.xml and
+applicationContext-*.xml in the "src/main/webapp/WEB-INF" folder for
+details. A simple comment change in web.xml switches between the data
+access strategies.
+
+The JDBC and Hibernate versions of PetClinic also demonstrate JMX support
+via the use of <context:mbean-export/> for exporting MBeans.
+SimpleJdbcClinic exposes the SimpleJdbcClinicMBean management interface
+via JMX through the use of the @ManagedResource and @ManagedOperation
+annotations; whereas, the HibernateStatistics service is exposed via JMX
+through auto-detection of the service MBean. You can start up the JDK's
+JConsole to manage the exported bean.
+
+All data access strategies can work with JTA for transaction management by
+activating the JtaTransactionManager and a JndiObjectFactoryBean that
+refers to a transactional container DataSource. The default for JDBC is
+DataSourceTransactionManager; for Hibernate, HibernateTransactionManager;
+for JPA, JpaTransactionManager. Those local strategies allow for working
+with any locally defined DataSource.
+
+Note that the sample configurations for JDBC, Hibernate, and JPA configure
+a BasicDataSource from the Apache Commons DBCP project for connection
+pooling.
+
+==========================================================================
+=== Build and Deployment
+==========================================================================
+
+The Spring PetClinic sample application is built using Maven.
+When the project is first built, Maven will automatically download all required
+dependencies (if these haven't been downloaded before). Thus the initial build
+may take a few minutes depending on the speed of your Internet connection,
+but subsequent builds will be much faster.
+
+Available build commands:
+
+- mvn clean         --> cleans the project
+- mvn clean test    --> cleans the project and runs all tests
+- mvn clean package --> cleans the project and builds the WAR
+
+After building the project with "mvn clean package", you will find the
+resulting WAR file in the "target/" directory. By default, an
+embedded HSQLDB instance in configured. No other steps are necessary to
+get the data source up and running: you can simply deploy the built WAR
+file directly to your Servlet container.
+
+For MySQL, you'll need to use the corresponding schema and SQL scripts in
+the "db/mysql" subdirectory. Follow the steps outlined in
+"db/mysql/petclinic_db_setup_mysql.txt" for explicit details.
+
+In you intend to use a local DataSource, the JDBC settings can be adapted
+in "src/main/resources/jdbc.properties". To use a JTA DataSource, you need
+to set up corresponding DataSources in your Java EE container.
+
+Notes on enabling Log4J:
+ - Log4J is disabled by default due to issues with JBoss.
+ - Uncomment the Log4J listener in "WEB-INF/web.xml" to enable logging.
+ 
+Notes on service static resources:
+ - Most web containers provide a 'default' servlet for serving static 
+ resources; Petclinic relies on it for its images.
+ - On containers without such a mapping (ex: GlassFish), uncomment the 
+ 'default' declaration in "WEB-INF/web.xml".
+
+==========================================================================
+=== JPA on Tomcat
+==========================================================================
+
+This section provides tips on using the Java Persistence API (JPA) on
+Apache Tomcat 4.x or higher with a persistence provider that requires
+class instrumentation (such as TopLink Essentials).
+
+To use JPA class instrumentation, Tomcat has to be instructed to use a
+custom class loader which supports instrumentation. See the JPA section of
+the Spring reference manual for complete details.
+
+The basic steps are:
+ - Copy "org.springframework.instrument.tomcat-3.0.0.RELEASE.jar" from the
+   Spring distribution to "TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib".
+ - If you're running on Tomcat 5.x, modify "TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml"
+   and add a new "<Context>" element for 'petclinic' (see below). You can 
+   alternatively deploy the WAR including "META-INF/context.xml" from this 
+   sample application's "src/main/webapp" directory, in which case you
+   will need to uncomment the Loader element in that file to enable the
+   use of the TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader.
+
+<Context path="/petclinic" docBase="/petclinic/location" ...>
+  <!-- please note that useSystemClassLoaderAsParent is available since Tomcat 5.5.20; remove it if previous versions are being used -->
+  <Loader loaderClass="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.tomcat.TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader" useSystemClassLoaderAsParent="false"/>
+  ...
+</Context>
