SC 3.5.0 under the covers

[JIM_SURLOW]

One of our web developers relayed the following questions to me:

• What's the war file for?
• Does the jetty/derby app call the cli, or does the cli call the snapcreator.jar?
• Can we replace the derby db with a MySql db? What are the consequences of losing the derby db?

[charly]

1) War file is for snapcreator GUI

2) snapcreator.jar is for starting the jetty server and same will deploy snapcreator.war. You can use the command 'java -jar snapcreator.jar' for starting the Derby engine.

3) No we cannot use any external DB now.
