Re: [xwiki-dev] Using container managed datasource instead of hibernate ?

Hey, I've played around with XWiki a little while ago (apologies for vaugness, its kinda on the edge of my memory) and managed to configure it to use a datasource (as described in this thread already) with a servlet container (in this case Orion). For the database I used postgres, and on hooking the two together, all the tables where created automatically for me (I just added the db to postgres and gave it rights - no bootstrap sql files run). Because I wanted to bootstrap in some content, I just created an XWiki plugin that on the plugin's startup event checks to see if pages like Main.WebHome already exist, and if they dont copy in some template files I put in the classpath (it was a case of if none of the template files exist, create them all, if any exist, don't create any new if that makes sense). data, I've multiple of a populate the For my plugin to do this I just created a load of text files with the names of the pages they where going to, and an index page. Put the whole lot in a jar, read off each page name from the index page in a loop, put each real page into xwiki using the internal XWiki API (even gets round database schema changing issues). Simple :) For my use case this works well enough for the moment (I havn't upgraded to the latest version of the code since (well I wrote down) svn v499 (the project I was using XWiki for has been backburnered for a while), not sure how relevant it still is?
