VMForce Database ?

Hi All

           I have studied about vmforce and found a constraint that we can not use external database like MySQL,SQL server,oracle etc .We are planing to convert our struts based application into spring framework  using MySQL to use appExchange using vmforce .

please correct me whether we are on right way or need something else to know .

any comments and suggestion will be highly appreciable .

thanks

VMForce will allow you create applications in Spring that use Salesforce as the database.  If you are using the Spring framework and MySQL, you don't need salesforce in the mix.

Thanks Bob

 

my question is that if we convert our app from struts to spring using hibernate as persistence tech and MySQL as DB . then can we deploy it directly on vmforce and use appExchange .

As there is no Salesforce involved in your solution, I doubt you'd be able to use this on VMForce or the app exchange.

 

VMForce is allowing the Salesforce database to be used by Spring applications.

thanks i want to confirm that vmforce does not support external DB . thanks again

its mean that we have to restructure our DB layer according to force.com DB and SOQL .
