Hi Ate, I'm very happy to see you here. Welcome on board. I promise to see your issues ASAP (tommorow or maybe this evening). All patches are welcome.
Concerning your question on the file system, you have to write a new implementation for a ContentStore and create a new Server classes (based on the server interface). We are starting some work on a JCR support. So, in a such case, it should be possible to store on a fs. Let me know if you need more info.

Well, that took some time... I'd like to help out with the project and can provide numerous fixes/patches but my time for today is already running out (I've hacked my way through getting it to work, my changes need cleanup before they can be committed). But, I'd like to mention a few of the issues I encountered: - Mapping java.sql.Date/java.util.Date to SQL TIMESTAMP fails on Oracle (ClassCastException) CmsObject.creationDate and CmsObject.lastModified are mapped as TIMESTAMP but in the java implementation they are defined as java.util.Date. And in several locations these are furthermore filled with java.sql.Date instances. As I expect you would like to store the full time part I modified the CmsObject interface to use java.sql.Timestamp for these fields instead (and adjusted all usages accordingly) - Blob usage on Oracle OJB 1.0.1 doesn't handle Blob fields on Oracle. I've upgraded to OJB 1.0.2 (1.0.3 doesn't work with the version of Spring used for Graffito). - Mapping of CmsObject.owner and CmsObject.language are defined required in the schema but not always filled in in the testcases. As I didn't think it should be required I made them optional (wondering how you can get past this on mysql though) - project/build.properties are not complete. I was missing the following properties in the sample-build.properties (but they are included in site/build.properties.txt): org.apache.portals.graffito.database.ojb.plateform (note the typing error for platform) org.apache.portals.graffito.database.ojb.datasource I'll can try to provide patches for these if you want but it will have to wait a bit because my client just informed me I'll have to fix a problem for one of their developer teams. Don't know yet if that'll be resolved today or in a week time ;-) Anyway, I finally got Graffito up and running in Jetspeed-2.0-M2 and its looks great! Congrats on that. My client might be interested in having it integrated in their J2 portal so I might be working with/on Graffito much more soon. One thing I'm wondering about and I don't have the time anymore to look into for now so maybe you can help me out here: will it be easy to store the Content separately in the filesystem instead of the database? I know that might introduce problems with locking etc. but that aside, will it be possible? Regards, Ate
