Hi,
I was wondering today if we could provide a production quality XE
packaging.
Here's what would be my combo:
* Jetty 6 or 7
* Latest Derby (aka JavaDB - which is included in JDK 1.6 BTW) in
embedded mode
See
http://developers.sun.com/learning/javaoneonline/j1sessn.jsp?sessn=TS-45170…
for performance stats
* Java Service Wrapper
See
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/integrate.html
The nice thing with the wrapper is that it can also monitor the JVM
and restart it if hung or not responding, in addition to restarting
the service when the machine is rebooted of course.
I'm confident that we could offer a base packaging that would work
well for relatively large usages of XE and that is still small and all-
preconfigured.
Basically I think we could replace our current combo of Jetty 5.x +
HSQLDB with this new combo and still get the best of both worlds:
* simple packaging
* production level quality
Whereas our current standalone packaging is not production ready and
is just for getting started with XWiki.
WDYT?
Thanks
