Multi-Tenancy : separate DBs and customize web client

[dao]

Hi,
I've just discovered multi-tenancy feature on Alfresco 3.2 (with tomcat bundle) and I've two questions about that :
1 - Is it possible to make each tenant use its own db ?
2 - I can't find any developer guide that explain how exactly we can customize the web client for each tenant. Did someone already tried ? It'd be really helpful to get some samples.

Thanks!

Hi,

1: No … see also:

2: You can override the web client config on a per-tenant basis by loading it from the repository instead of the classpath. Please refer to:

Thanks for your answer.
I've just tried to customize a tenant by changing the default view of my web client. The modification has no effect on the web client…
1 - I logged on my tenant1
2 - I added web-client-config-custom.xml (after the appropriate modification) in Company Home > Data Dictionary > Web Client Extension
3 - I reloaded via webclientconfig console

The mode view is still the same (no change from Icon to Detail view as I wanted) even after restarting tomcat 😕

Did I do something wrong ?
