I didnt like Atul's original solution for the import, which was to basically duplicate all the code (lots) in the CastorPsmlManagerService in the DbInitializer. So I removed the DBInitializer, and came up with 'PsmlImporter' - which makes use of both the file-based service and the database-service without hardly any new code. This almost worked, except for the BaseProfile always used the static accessor class PsmlManager, to save and get PSML documents. The ImportProfile takes a 'provider' and 'consumer' service, and then knows that it gets its PSML from the provider service, and writes to the consumer service.

The default Jetspeed system is still distributed with PSML on the file system. If a user would like to switch over to the database impl, they have to have some way to get their file-based PSML into the database. My original thought was to write a command-line app, but that didn't go so well since I couldn't find a good way to decouple our services from Turbine and servlets in general. Im told this will be easier in Turbine-3. So Atul came up with the idea to import when the DBPSML Service first starts up. The first thing it does is run a check to see if the import has been run before. If it finds the 'admin' user, it will NOT import. Actually Atul had a setting in the JRP where you could specify which user to lookup.

To export elsewhere on the file system, set your JRP entry: services.PsmlManager.root=<somewhere else on your file system> David -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
