Mark Slater commented on JCR-328: --------------------------------- There's a syntax error on the example code's return line. The code should read: final RepositoryConfig config = ...; Repository repository = new TransientRepository( new TransientRepository.RepositoryFactory() { public RepositoryImpl getRepository() throws RepositoryException { return RepositoryImpl.create(config); } }); > TransientRepository with LocalFileSystem eventually causes Repository data to > be stored at path '/' > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > 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) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
