Derby and WOLips
It looks like that anything to do with WebObjects, EOF
should first and foremost work with Derby.
Otherwise, Apple should deliver FrontBase examples, not Derby
examples.
As things stand, a new user of WebObjects is very likely to use
Derby as the first database.
De facto, Derby is WebObjects' default database:
see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=72598
for WebObjects 5.4
Databases supported, qualified
FrontBase 4.7
Derby 10.2.2.0
...
Derby 10.2.2.0 comes with WebObjects:
/Library/WebObjects/Extensions/derby.jar
/Library/WebObjects/Extensions/derbyclient.jar
com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.DerbyPlugIn
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaJDBCAdaptor
.framework/Resources/Java/javajdbcadaptor.jar
/Developer/Examples/JavaWebObjects/SophisticatedDatabaseExample
allegedly uses Derby (as do many other examples)
Derby comes with Java 1.6 (as JavaDB)
Re: FrontBase
I have used FrontBase a bit. And everything I have heard says
it works fine. But it is closed source and requires messing around
with a license key.
My primary intention in using Derby is as a test database. Each developer
has as many embedded Derby db's as he likes ... Should work well
for automated testing or (servers are easier??) ...
