Getting there.. I've manged to make drools find the jdbc.jar and even start successfully!! :) so it auto-created some VERSION_x tables in the Drools DB. the conf i'm using is: (diff driver + url) <PersistenceManager class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.state.db.SimpleDbPersistenceManager"> <param name="driver" value=" com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"/> <param name="url" value=" jdbc:sqlserver://my-sql:1433;databaseName=Drools;"/> <param name="schema" value="mssql"/> <param name="user" value="sa"/> <param name="password" value="xxx"/> <param name="schemaObjectPrefix" value="${wsp.name}_"/> <param name="externalBLOBs" value="false"/> </PersistenceManager> now, when i tell him to create a new sample project it fails with: 14:39:45,497 INFO [STDOUT] ERROR 05-05 14:39:45,496 (RulesRepositoryAdministrator.java:clearRulesRepository:79) javax.jcr.RepositoryException: /: unable to update item.: 17528b92-d60d-48cf-82dd-7c9654effe34: 17528b92-d60d-48cf-82dd-7c9654effe34 14:39:54,217 INFO [STDOUT] ERROR 05-05 14:39:54,216 (RepositoryServiceServlet.java:doUnexpectedFailure:62) org.drools.repository.RulesRepositoryException: javax.jcr.InvalidItemStateException: /: the item cannot be saved because it has been modified externally. ideas?
