Re: [JBoss-user] Store large pdfs with JBoss

[James Cleary]

Our Product Data Manager system does the same. Just stores the files on disk with encrypted names. The database has the URLs to the correct PDF for a particular document number. We can reach those URLs on our Apache web server. If trying the JBoss route you could modify your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.policy file to ALL Permissions for your local disk drive. Not very portable then but depends on the application/environment. Not sure how you'd reference the PDFs though. Maybe placing your files under a webapp directory?    ----- Original Message ----- From: Nelson, Tracy To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 1:07 PM Subject: RE: [JBoss-user] Store large pdfs with JBoss I've always done it with the filesystem.  The database just stores the path to the file.  Typically you establish some rules for the filesystem store (retention time, max space, maybe use quotas) and have it owned by whatever user the app server runs as. -----Original Message----- From: Luttrell, Peter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 09:14 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JBoss-user] Store large pdfs with JBoss Has anyone had experience storing large pdfs with jboss, say ~5mbs each?   I would like to do it with Oracle and BLOBs, but i've read that there's problems with the drivers and jboss and it doesn't look like it will be possible.   Has anyone done with with any other database?   Does anyone have ideas on how else to store these files, maybe without a database? I've always thought the filesystem was pretty much off limits from the appserver.   thanks. .peter   This transmission contains information solely for intended recipient and may be privileged, confidential and/or otherwise protect from disclosure.
