Hi Ludovic, I've been looking at the instructions at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/InstallLinuxTomcat and there are about 8 steps too many for this software to gain widespread adoption in my opinion. One of the biggest issues I see is that it uses Hibernate which is great since technically db tables can be auto generated using the Hibernate schemaexport tool with the xwiki mapping file to create tables in any database of your choosing. However, it looks like I specifically need MySQL and I don't know why. I look at the JBoss + Postgres install page and sure enough it points out the flaws of this approach: "Download the sample database and convert for Postgres. See PostgresDatabase <http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/PostgresDatabase> -> This tool has been made by Nicholas Vesser.. It was done with an old mysql database for XWiki.. You should try it with the latest database.." hmm, not fun. Personally, what I would like to see is this: 1) Download xwiki.zip 2) Run "ant install" which performs: Creating/deploying xwiki webapp to your Tomcat that you set in your build.properties Uses schemaexport to generate tables in your database that is defined in the hibernate properties file 3) Start your server and voila! Further, it could use hsqldb as a default so if you didn't reconfigure the hibernate properties file it would simply use hsqldb which can be bundled with the wiki webapp and used for test purposes. How does this sound? Cheers, Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the xwiki-dev(a)objectweb.org mailing list.
