Hi devs,

I need to be able to configuration the location of the HSQLDB database/ 
directory in our installer when executing on windows7 (because on windows7 you 
cannot write to the ProgramFiles directory).

I'm proposing to add variable substitution so that we can configure 
connectio.url for HSQLDB to point to the environment.permanentDirectory 
location.

We would have:
<property 
name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:${environment.permanentDirectory)/database/xwiki_db;shutdown=true</property>

Technical details:
* I'll modify DBCPConnectionProvider. More specifically this part:

             String jdbcUrl = System.getProperty(Environment.URL);
             if (jdbcUrl == null) {
                 jdbcUrl = props.getProperty(Environment.URL);
             }
             dbcpProperties.put("url", jdbcUrl);

* And look for ${…} , extract the variable name and use the 
XWikiPropertiesConfigurationSource to get the value for that variable name, as 
a String.

WDYT?


Sounds good, +1
