Hi,
I created the bridge that was discussed in thread[1] and first impression is that it will work. I have successfully run Avalon component
with database connection defined that way:
<bean name="personnel"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/>
<property name="url" value="jdbc:hsql://localhost:9002/cocoondb"/>
</bean>
so the result is quite encouraging. My solution is totally transparent for
users and very unobtrusive for Cocoon itself.
I tried to check it with Forms SQL samples also but I have not managed to run it because we depend on JDBI that is not on Maven repository.
The question is: what's now? Should I contact with developer and ask him politely to upload his work to Maven repository?
As temporary solution, can we upload it to our Maven repository and introduce dependency on uploaded artifact? Does it demands a lot of
work? Since my primary focus in on my GSoC project I will not be able to be able to spend much time on it.
On the other hand, if we want upcoming Cocoon release usable we really need to
provide decent and *working* database access solution.
Jeroen, you have offered your help. Would you be interested in helping with
issue?
Thanks for your reading.
