I see no problems in loading a repository from an URL.
If you modifify the RepositoryPersistor accordingly, please post your changes to the list, I will integrate your solution into the OJB codebase!
cheers,

Hello, I'm working on an OJB application that will run as a Java Web Start application, and for a few reasons it is more convenient for me to obtain OJB resource files via http from a web server instead of from the local file system.The typical API provided by PBKey and PersistenceBrokerFactory accepts a String that must be an absolute or relative filename such as "resources/ojb/repository.xml". This is used by the RepositoryPersistor to find the XML file with help from the ClassLoader. However I'd like to be able to pass in a URL instead, for example "http://www.foo.com/myapp/resources/ojb/repository.xml";. The way that these API's are written it seems like the assumption is that these resources will always be read from a file. For example the RepositoryPersistor does this to create the URL that it passes to the SAXParser: url = new File(repositoryFileName).toURL(); Has anyone else found a need to obtain these resources by http or another protocol? Can any OJB developers comment on whether or not this would be a good idea?
