How to use an external database?

* Supported databases

    * Derby

* Configure Continuum

** Standalone version

    To use an external database with Continuum standalone, you must configure DataSources in <<<$CONTINUUM_HOME/conf/jetty.xml>>>

%{snippet|id=datasources|url=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/continuum/trunk/continuum-jetty/src/main/conf/jetty.xml}

** Webapp

    To use an external database with the Continuum webapp, you should configure the DataSource in your container.
