The idea was to make the new datastore comply with the GeoServer parameter conventions. Yet, I would like to avoid making them drop in replacements, a user may legitimately want to have the two running in paraller for a comparison (I know I did that a lot). Nothing prevents one to deploy two GeoServer instances and do the comparison like that thought... not sure which is the best one. For me it's surely annoying since I cannot have the two running in parallel from the IDE, but I am one, and the users are many. > SO if we change the parameters so that they are the same then actually > no change to configuration is necessary I believe since the "ng" > datastores declare the same "dbtype" parameter. Is this also true Andrea? No they do not for the above reason, for example the old Oracle datastore uses "Oracle", the new one "Oracle-NG" (but you don't actually see the dbtype param name in the UI). Atm they also miss a lot of the previous datastore params (connection pool control) but that is easily fixed.
