[aerogear-dev] UPS: Databases - skipping H2 on 1.0.x

Hi, with the migration support on UPS that @qmx did, we have DB schema versioning. As a consequence the value of 'hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto' in the persistence.xml was changed to 'validate' to force the JPA provider to validate, instead of updating. On #512 we agreed that changing this back to 'update' is back. I did not see that initially, and I am thankful that @qmx pointed me to it. What does this mean: for the 1.0.3 release we do no longer support H2 database. Instead we just support MySQL and Postgres, to match production environments. However, H2 is handy for getting a quick run, and for new users. Thanks to our OpenShift cartridge, getting started is even simpler - no local installation is needed. However, for MASTER branch, we will be introducing a "development" profile, that will allow users and developers to ran locally against H2. When running releases, that - of course - is disabled :-) Greetings, Matthias PS: Yes, we had bugs in the past due to the fact "It works on H2", and now, supporting 'real' DBs, we are a step closer to production environments, even for our own development. -- Matthias Wessendorf blog: http://matthiaswessendorf.wordpress.com/ sessions: http://www.slideshare.net/mwessendorf twitter: http://twitter.com/mwessendorf
