Description

The virtualhost store backed by BDB has always been much faster than the Derby one but we could not make it default owing to license constraints. Now BDB JE is Apache 2.0 Licensed, we can switch the default.

Users who wish to continue to use the Derby store may do so. It remains a fully supported option.

Those users who upgrade to v7.0 won't be affected by this change; their existing configuration options will be respected.
