Just because it's dead, doesn't mean that it doesn't do the job. Keep in
mind that for these new tings in J2EE to work (especially EJB), you need
some kind of a repository/default container. That doesn't mean you can't
use another database as an alternate datasource or connect to one.
I believe the Orion developers have more to worry about than what the
default datasource their product ships with is and its status. I believe
the choice of Hypersonic/hsql had more to do with licensing (GPL) than what
best-of-breed database to include. After all, Sun ships J2EE Beta 3 with
Cloudscape.
Also, keep in mind that hsql was NEVER adequate for any but devel projects.
It is not going to be what anyone would go to production with....Bottom
line: find a datasource you are comfortable with and adapt Orion to use
that. Kdb (http://www.kx.com ), Instantdb
(http://instantdb.enhydra.org/index.html ), Cloudscape (Informix, I believe)
MSSQL Server, Oracle, Sybase ADA, IBM UDB and postgres are all fine
candidates, or, roll your own!
