On that subject, would it be better to have the JPA example as the default example, and provide a script to set up the tables on JavaDB? It comes with the JDK nowadays. You guys would certainly get a lot less questions of "how do I connect this to a real DB?"

The best way to exercise and validate the implementation is by running the OpenSocial complaince test gadget, located at http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-resources/wiki/ComplianceTests (use the 0.8 JavaScript one), however do note that the json backend isn't complete and will have plenty of errors in it, and that part of the services offered by shindig require a container (a social web site that 'contains' open social gadgets) for the user preferences, proper security tokens etc. Luckily there's also a much more complete real example of how to use php-shindig with a MySql back-end: http://code.google.com/p/partuza/ (and a live version at http://www.partuza.nl), which does a good job at demonstrating how to implement all the container bits.
