Introduce a magnolia.home property to simplify other properties files
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-3840
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3840
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public
Components: core
Reporter: Grégory Joseph
Assignee: Philipp Bärfuss
Fix For: 4.4.x, 4.5
Consider the following:
{code}
magnolia.cache.startdir=${magnolia.app.rootdir}/cache
magnolia.upload.tmpdir=${magnolia.app.rootdir}/tmp
magnolia.exchange.history=${magnolia.app.rootdir}/history
magnolia.logs.dir=${magnolia.app.rootdir}/logs
magnolia.repositories.home=${magnolia.app.rootdir}/repositories
{code}
These are the 5 properties you need to change if you want to store all data
outside Magnolia's webapp (repository, logs, cache, tmp). It can get pretty
cumbersome when you use the 1-war-multiple-setups feature to re-configure the
system for several environment.
What I've done, systematically, in my projects, is this:
{code}
magnolia.home=${magnolia.app.rootdir}
magnolia.cache.startdir=${magnolia.home}/cache
magnolia.upload.tmpdir=${magnolia.home}/tmp
magnolia.exchange.history=${magnolia.home}/history
magnolia.repositories.home=${magnolia.home}/repositories
magnolia.logs.dir=${magnolia.home}/logs
{code}
This provides *exactly* the same configuration, but as an added bonus, I can
get away with redefining one single property in my "sub" magnolia.properties
files, for example
{code}
magnolia.home=/opt/magnolia-community-forums/data/author/
{code}
This should be the default !
(of course, I'm fine with giving this property another name entirely)
