HSQL Installation
Follow these instructions:
- HSQL is a very simple database to configure as you don't need to install nor to start it before being able to use it. It comes as a single JAR file named hsqldb*.jar. If your XWiki WAR doesn't have it in WEB-INF/lib you'll need to download it and copy it there. You can download it from the HSQLDB web site or directly from the Maven Central Repository.
- Once this is done, you need to tell XWiki to use HSQL and to tell it where the database files will be created. To do this, edit the WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml file where you have expanded the XWiki WAR file and replace the matching properties with the following ones:
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:[DATABASE_LOCATION];shutdown=true</property>
<property name="connection.username">sa</property>
<property name="connection.password"></property>
<property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
<property name="connection.username">sa</property>
<property name="connection.password"></property>
<property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property>
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property>
where [DATABASE_LOCATION] is where you wish to put the HSQL database. For example /apps/xwiki-database/xwiki.
