             Summary: Change file repository layoout and prefs usage
                 Key: ACE-402
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-402
             Project: ACE
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Repository
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Bram de Kruijff


ACE-391 added optional configuration to the file repositories, but there are 
still two concerns that I would like to address which are not strictly backward 
compatible.

1) The RepositoryFactory assigns working directories based on the PID which is 
a hard to interpret randomly generated number. As we have logical concepts as 
'customer' and 'name' for repositories I suggest to use those (in a fs safe 
fashion) instead.

Eg.

current layout       : <basedir>/<pid>/<revision><extension>
proposed layout   : <basedir>/<customer>/<ame>/<revision>[extension]

2) The RepositoryFactory uses prefs (keeping unsafe refs which is a bug) for, 
AFAICS, the sole purpose of guaridng uniqueness of customer/name combination. 
Addressing the layout as described in 1 voids the need for prefs altogether so 
I ould like to remove it.
