Hi all, my idea of a "config-file" for the local import was the following;
By default: files in MARMOTTA_HOME/import are imported into the default context files in MARMOTTA_HOME/import/foo/bar are imported into context BASE_URI/context/foo/bar The above default setting can be overwritten on a _per directory_ base by placing a "config-file" into a folder, e.g. for MARMOTTA_HOME/import/foobar/ - if it contains a file, say ".context", containing "http://example.com/context/"; in the first line, all files placed into this directory will be imported into context http://example.com/context/ I'd like to avoid a round-trip between file-system and the configuration, as it complicates the workflow: 1) create directory structure in MARMOTTA_HOME 2) configure context in the admin-ui 3) copy files to the directory What I don't like with the url-encoded-directory names is that it requires the detection of absolute URIs vs. relative URIs for contexts to be hard coded.
