Vincent, that would be a good idea to my taste. HSQLDB doesn't taste serious there for sure.
Our experience with Derby was also pretty good. This is to compare with MySQL+Apache+(xx-container)+XWiki right?One angle I found bitten by is that some plugins seem to rely implicitly MySQL (the activitystream plugin); at least they don't work with Postgres. I tend to believe that Derby is rather more similar to Postgres than mysql but that's personal.
Presumably your proposal would make this more tested. So... you have my +1. paulPS: a service, did you say? Does it work well with fonts etc? For some reasons my xwiki starts on mac always bring up an application icon and that generally means that the AWT thread is tarted. I always understood that as bound to FOP... wouldn't that get lost as a service?

I was wondering today if we could provide a production quality XE packaging. Here's what would be my combo: * Jetty 6 or 7 * Latest Derby (aka JavaDB - which is included in JDK 1.6 BTW) in embedded mode See http://developers.sun.com/learning/javaoneonline/j1sessn.jsp?sessn=TS-45170&yr=2007&track=3 for performance stats * Java Service Wrapper See http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/integrate.html The nice thing with the wrapper is that it can also monitor the JVM and restart it if hung or not responding, in addition to restarting the service when the machine is rebooted of course. I'm confident that we could offer a base packaging that would workwell for relatively large usages of XE and that is still small and all-preconfigured. Basically I think we could replace our current combo of Jetty 5.x + HSQLDB with this new combo and still get the best of both worlds: * simple packaging * production level quality Whereas our current standalone packaging is not production ready and is just for getting started with XWiki. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
