Guess the point is I am a developer and do not get the privilege of running
a GeoServer myself :)
But two answers to your question:
a) That is what JNDI is for (allowing configuration migration from dev to
test to production)
b) 90% of the time I turn off WFS-T, so I am not as concerned about
performing a test against a live data base
It would be different if my evaluation was going to focus on performance,
or WFS-T functionality.
All we are asking for out of a beta is any confidence that the release will
work ... so anything feedback for the developers would be great.
I also note the cycle, if users put off upgrading while they wait for
others to go first, we will need to put off having betas and release
candidates.
