> Key: JCR-328
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-328
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Mark Slater
> Assignee: Jukka Zitting
> Fix For: 1.0
>
> I'm using a TransitoryRepository for my unit testing, with the repository's
> file system specified as:
> <FileSystem class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem">
> <param name="path" value="${rep.home}/repository"/>
> </FileSystem>
> I noticed today that when I run my unit tests Jackrabbit is creating four
> directories at the root of my hard drive: "meta", "namespaces", "nodetypes",
> and "data". I tracked the problem the fact that when a LocalFileSystem is
> closed, it sets the "root" to null - an invalid state. But when using a
> TransitoryRepository, the invalid state is never discovered because the
> LocalFileSystem object itself is not released, or re-initialized. It is
> simply used to create BasedFileSystem objects in RepositoryImpl. Calls to
> BasedFileSystem defer to the LocalFileSystem object that now has a null root.
> Inside the LocalFileSystem, all the calls to Java's io.File constructor have
> a "null" parent parameter, causing File to fall back to its single argument
> constructor which sees the path "/meta" and happily creates files at the root
> of the disk.
> I'm not sure what the best solution is, but some thoughts I've had are:
> - don't set the "root" property to null when closing a LocalFileSystem
> - make RepositoryConfig re-init the FileSystem variable when it is accessed.
> - don't cache the RepositoryConfig in TransitoryRepository (this might also
> require a new constructor that takes a class-path resource for the repository
> configuration file)
