| 1 | 1 HSQL Installation | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | Follow these instructions: | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | * 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 <tt>hsqldb*.jar</tt>. If your XWiki WAR doesn't have it in <tt>WEB-INF/lib</tt> you'll need to download it and copy it there. You can download it from the [HSQLDB web site>http://www.hsqldb.org/] or directly from the [Maven Central Repository>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/hsqldb/hsqldb/]. | ||
| 6 | * 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 <tt>WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml</tt> file where you have expanded the XWiki WAR file and replace the matching properties with the following ones: | ||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | {code} | ||
| 9 | <property name="connection.url">jdbc:hsqldb:file:[DATABASE_LOCATION];shutdown=true</property> | ||
| 10 | <property name="connection.username">sa</property> | ||
| 11 | <property name="connection.password"></property> | ||
| 12 | <property name="connection.driver_class">org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</property> | ||
| 13 | <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property> | ||
| 14 | {code} | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | where <tt>\[DATABASE_LOCATION\]</tt> is where you wish to put the HSQL database. For example <tt>/apps/xwiki-database/xwiki</tt>. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 1.1 Other optional ideas | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | * You can use a remote HSQLDB database instead of embedding it. To do this, just use a URL like <tt>jdbc:hsqldb:hsql:HOSTNAME...</tt> instead of the <tt>jdbcc:hsqldb:file:..</tt> URL. The major version of the hsqldb jar file must match the major version that the HSQLDB server is using. | ||
| 21 | * If you want to use your app server facilities to manage your data sources (generally a better strategy), then | ||
| 22 | ** Put the <tt>hsqldb*.jar</tt> file into your app server class path instead of in your web app (like in <tt>$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib</tt>). | ||
| 23 | ** In <tt>hibernate.cfg.xml</tt>, use the following settings in place of the HSQLDB block in the sample file. Specifically, you do not set url, user, etc, here, and leave the provider_class unset (i.e. use the default vlaue), since XWiki's implementation does not handle container-managed data sources. | ||
| 24 | {code} | ||
| 25 | <property name="connection.datasource">java:/comp/env/jdbc/xwiki</property> | ||
| 26 | <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</property> | ||
| 27 | {code} | ||
| 28 | ** Then you manage the data source using app server facilities. With Tomcat, for example, you would map the ~~resource link~~ <tt>jcbc/xwikiDs</tt> to a container-managed data source using the Admin web app or by editing the file <tt>conf/Catalina/*/xwiki.xml</tt> (i.e. webapp-name + ".xml"). |
