Allow indexingConfiguration to be loaded from the classpath
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-2504
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2504
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: indexing
Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.6.1
Reporter: fabrizio giustina
Attachments: indexingConfiguration_classpath.diff
The "indexingConfiguration" attribute in the SearchIndex configuration
(http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/IndexingConfiguration) actually requires an
absolute filesystem path.
It would be nice if SearchIndex would also accept a file available in the
classpath... although you can use variables like ${wsp.home} or similar there
are many scenarios where a classpath resource would help (for example when
creating a new workspace the directory structure is automatically created by
jackrabbit and doesn't need to be already available but the indexing
configuration file does).
I am attaching a simple patch to SearchIndex that tries to load the file from
the classpath if it has not been found. Since priority is given to the old
behavior (file before classpath) so it's fully backward compatible.
Diff has been generated against trunk, it would be nice to have this patch also
on the 2.0 branch.
