That's completely out of the control of the application - you are
configuring Tomcat and Derby there.

Thanks, will try it. But doesn't that behavior seem kind of weird?
The
database is a kind of important resource to risk it getting resolved
to
some random different place whenever you restart Tomcat. One would
expect it to resolve relative to some deterministic location like
${appserver.home} like Archiva logging does.

Subject: Re: Derby database relative to `cwd` ?
url="jdbc:derby:archiva/derbydb;create=true" is a relative path - you
should provide the full path in here after the jdbc:derby: part.

In my latest Archiva installation, I noticed that Archiva resolves
the
path to the derby database relative to whatever was the current
working
directory at the time Tomcat was started.
For example, if I'm in $CATALINA_HOME/bin and I run ./catalina.sh
start,
then the derby database gets created under
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/archiva/derbydb. If I restart Tomcat later
from a
different directory, it gets created from scratch in that different
directory.
To work around this issue and make sure the derby db dir is always
resolved to the same place, before Tomcat starts in catalina.sh, I
must
explicitly call: cd $CATALINA_HOME
Here's part of my archiva.xml, where the path to the derby db gets
set:
<Resource name="jdbc/users" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="sa"
password=""
driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
url="jdbc:derby:archiva/derbydb;create=true" />
And in catalina.properties I have this:
appserver.home=${catalina.home}
appserver.base=${catalina.home}/archiva
This is Archiva 1.0.1 on Tomcat 6.0.16 with JDK 1.6.0_04, RHEL 5
Thanks in advance,
Carlton
