I doubt it. But if so, please. Perhaps for a war for a site which is actually to be shipped to a hoster yes, but for the distro itself, I think not. > > > - You can easily try out another app-server you are not familiar with. > > I don't mind this a lot: If you want to try a new appserver you probably > want to learn about it don't you? Learning how to configure its database > might be a nice part of the process ;-) I don't know. For users yes, for developers probably not. E.g. if I want to test if taglib works on some app-server (perhaps someone reported bug there), I don't want to learn too much about it; just want to get it working ASAP. > > - Running stand-alone remains an option, also for junit tests > > Is this really necessary? Isn't it easier to use a test-container? (I > still have to go and learn about the mmbase unittests, sorry) The mmbase unittests are a bit of a mess, because nobody uses them and they have never all not failed. If they can be refactored to use data-sources and not an hsql connection URL, perhaps that can be done first (by someone why knows how to do that, so I can simply steal the info then), also for the default build with hsql. If the default configuration can be changed to use data-source to hsql (we do support it already IIRC), and that indeed results in war which is just as easily deployed as the current one, then I would be a whole lot more eager to give a unconditional +1 on the proposal 'as is'. But AFAIK that is not possible. But please prove me wrong...
