I am trying to connect Orbeon Forms to external exist database. So I added parameter

<property as="xs:anyURI"
          name="oxf.fr.persistence.service.exist.uri"
          value="http://orbeon:secret@localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/orbeon/fr"/>

to properties-local.xml as written here http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/exist-configuration#TOC-Configuring-Form-Runner but that doesn’t work, orbeon still trying to connect to embeded exist DB, and says that DB is already locked by some another DB instance (it’s external exist instance). I was trying to change web.xml to turn off all embeded exist servlets, but still no result.

What am I doing wrong?

May be there another configurations need to be changed?

Thanks, for any reply.

    Thanks for all your replies.

    The problem was that I configured the same directory storage for the external exist, as for the embeded one. So when orbeon was starting the embeded DB had no opportunity to connect to already occupied files.

    So after I reconfigured exist-conf.xml in orbeon/WEB-INF, orbeon managed to start and connect to external DB.
