Common problems, known bugs, pitfalls and workarounds

This section is devoted to common issues, and their known workaround, during a transition period we all hope will be as short as possible. This is the first section to look at whenever something does not happen the way you are used to. It is also the section in which you should contribute the most. Especially for the workaround.

webSpoon as a web service

This is a discussion section in how to use webSpoon as a web service.

Currently, the author's wish is to maintain the difference between the original Spoon and webSpoon as small as possible so that merging into Spoon is easy. This means that webSpoon is currently inherently intended to be used by a single user as Spoon.

Therefore, for the time being (at least until merged to the main stream of Spoon), some stuff must be managed outside, like:

  • [JDBC drivers]
  • [Personalized own work space (individual or company level)]
