h2database
h2database would be fine. Hsqldb just seemed to be the best thing I could find the last time I was looking for an embedded database. But that was like a year ago. I haven't tried h2database. I was also planning on using Hibernate as well. But I'm not picky about that either if there is something better. Should we take this discussion offline?
Also, looking at your project, MPL sounds like it would be a good license for this. I was thinking of hosting it at Google, but again I'm flexible.

Database
Derby is a pretty cool database too that has full Hibernate support. BTW, if you are going to use Hibernate, I would recommend using JPA over Hibernate.
The Pro EJB book has actually nothing to do with EJBs, but more of the Java Persistence API. Also the Java Persistence with Hibernate book just came out and seems to be pretty good.

I would hope that wherever you plan to host it would have MySql or Postgres for a DB option. I would never ship a product with an embeddable database for production use.jayaskre wrote:h2database would be fine.

Database
MySql and Postgres don't really fit this particular application since it is a desktop app, not a web app. It would make installation much more difficult for non techies. This appliation is precisely what embedded databases are made for.

If the intent was to make this networkable or web based, I totally agree with you. If it is designed to run on a local user's machine in a stand-alone environment (which it currently is) then an embedded database is much more effective in my opinion.bh5k wrote:I would hope that wherever you plan to host it would have MySql or Postgres for a DB option.

However it should be fairly trivial to support multiple DB backends.

That is correct. The domain name is just to have an easy way to find the software. Data resides on the user's computer and does not go anywhere else unless the user manually moves it somewhere else. The only exception is that if the user chooses to use the map features, addresses are passed to a Yahoo web service so they can be geocoded. No name or other iidentifying information is passed with the addresses to the web service. I don't believe Yahoo saves these addresses.

Steward Management System
I've been asked to administer this piece of software for our stake. I thought I would pass it along as a possible project or at least one that should be duplicated as an open source project. The web-app is essentially a paperless stake/ward management system for callings and other work flow related tasks.
This is probably old news to all of you but just in case. Here is a link to the demo site. As far as I am aware about 7 - 10 stakes are using it.

A few Items
Here's a few things I've done, or know about:

http://scott.barberfam.com/wp/2006/10/2 ... ne-plugin/
http://ifyeareprepared.org/about
I'm excited about the greasemonkey script I wrote as it opens the door to other cool hacks. I'm working on a vonage "click to call" script next for lds.org
I wonder if there's someplace other that this forum where a software list can be maintained (some wiki?)
