i mean that i thought that TS had no connectors bundled, like they would not bundle SQL servers.
So i installed JB 220b1 into global JRE/lib foler

As a result TS could not open ANY database at all, even not HSQLDB ones.

After two days i somehow guessed that, don't remember how, and removed global JB 220b1

TS uses Spring, not Hibernate, so i think it is not related. I just noted it for if possible, i'd liek to run XWiki on 2.1.6 stable rather than 2.2.0 beta

If you really interested - there is thread on support forum in russian (not in english) where there are probably exception traces. But they are not directly related here.

PS BTW, is there an app to conveniently read those traces ? ChainSaw does not consume them, OLV too (maybe one could make the parser patterns, but too much work"
I think those exception stack traces are rather common thing, there should be some human-comfort reader for them.
