[Building Sakai] Sakai quickstart with vagrant and puppet

[Poindexter, David Ray]

Just curious, why couldn't one pick SQLite for an option for quick starting some dev? It's well supported, and it's available on every platform.

I think it is a very good idea for us to upgrade our DB pool. As far as I can tell, there is no reason we should be binding to DBCP (extending some of their classes) like we are anymore.

The DataSource interface is good at hiding this kind of thing (what/where/how you get a connection). The Tomcat pool, newer DBCP, and a few others are all reasonable choices. We should pick a nice, modern default, clean up our config pattern, and let people swap out easily if interested.

Zach, this is not to say you shouldn't do some clean/purge business to make a system install work more easily in the meantime. I just think we are way overdue on updating our most basic infrastructure (and the integrated version of DBCP has some pretty bad gotchas and a few performance issues).

Thanks,
-Noah

For some reason, the packaged version of Tomcat7 adds commons-dbcp and commons-pool to the Tomcat lib directory, which conflicts with the ones we deploy to shared/lib.

I got a clean startup as soon as I removed the packaged version of those libs.

what exactly is the problem encountered with the latest Tomcat package?

Yep it still applies unless you do more config tweaking.

Zach, post up what you have, maybe we can actually address it.
