We have been trying to encourage people to use Derby for nearly a year now. I think it is time to finally kill off axion and replace it with just Derby. We should keep the DefaultDatabase datasource around and separate from the system one - I would suggest as another database in the same instance. One is intended to be used by applications, the other just by the system itself. -- Jeremy Jacek Laskowski wrote: > sissonj@insession.com wrote: > >> a) Keep it and change it to use Derby rather than axion, so it is >> available for Demo applications etc? > > > I like the default-database-plan.xml which tells you what default > database Geronimo is tested against.
