[opencms-dev] OpenCMS 9.5 + Firebird 2.5 infinite modules importing during Setup

[Maxim Smyatkin]

Hello, guys.
Since yesterday I've been trying to run OpenCMS with Firebird without any
success under this configuration:
OpenCMS 9.5.1 (I also tried the last master built from source);
Firebird 2.5.4 x64;
Windows 7 x64;
Java 6 (tried 1.8 as well);
Tomcat 7.0.

During the setup DB and DB's structure are created as they are supposed to,
but step 8 (importing modules) seems to run infinetely. At least, I left my
PC for last night and it made no progress.

I also tried fresher jaybird driver, but in vain. Perhaps, the problem
doesn't have anything to do with Firebird support at all? Have you any
suggestions how can I fix it? The importing modules finishes only when
there are no modules selected. That is, when there is nothing to import. If
I choose even one single module the process never ends.

And yet another question if you don't mind:) We have some clients who need
to use Firebird + OpenCMS and they complain about performance. The one
thing I'm almost sure of - it's not on Firebird's side.
It looks like for any action (e.g., to render some form) cms wraps all the
queries into autonomous transactions which is hardly the optimal behaviour.
I don't mind of optimizing Firebird's support in OpenCMS on my own. But it
would be awesome to have some advices from people who know how OpenCMS
works internally. So that I will understand where to start and where to
move.
