Because many of these attachments may be large (50MB), and over time the database can grow to be unweildy. Currently that's our problem with our exchange server setup (people keep emailing these files back and forth as it stands now *shudder*). The upside of storing attachments in a filesystem is easier access from other clients (as the other poster suggested), less likelihood of corruption on large databases (our Exchange DB is 200+ GB right now), less likelihood of backup problems, copy-only-what's-changed backups, and quicker backup and restore time. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Xwiki-file-and-attachment-storage-tf4214945.html#a13799175 Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [xwiki-users] Xwiki file and attachment storage
Is that what you mean? And is this Jackrabbit stuff ready by v1.1? Nope. This is 1.2 stuff. Well, 1.2 is almost here... is the jackrabbit stuff ready, and can I store attachments in files?? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Xwiki-file-and-attachment-storage-tf4214945.html#a13494689 Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

More importantly Artem who was working on it has stopped participating to XWiki for some time since he's busy on other stuff. He'll join us back later but there's no ETA right now on the JCR implementation. However I'm curious to know why you need attachments stored in the file system.

Thanks -Vincent Sorry if jumping in this thread is not the most elegant way of collaborate, but I've missed this option, to store attachments in the file system, today. For instance: we use a lot of high resolution pictures in our work. If I can store this images in the file system I can access them by using regular drive mapping, web server access, sftp,... I mean: I could keep relying on different clients to read the files while I could rely on XWiki to easy the way users load files in the system. Hope this makes sense for you.

A Jackrabbbit file system (FS) is an internal component that implements standard file system operations on top of some underlying storage mechanism (a normal file system, a database, a webdav server, or a custom file format).

File systems are used in Jackrabbit both as subcomponents of the persistence managers and for general storage needs (for example to store the full text indexes).

All the data will be stored through the JCR implementation we use. It'll be up to you to decide what you want the JCR implementation to point to through configuration. I mentioned Jackrabbit because this is what our proof of concept uses but we might use eXo Platform, JackRabbit or some other implementation. XWiki will use the JCR API so it can use any JCR implementation (theoretically at least). Is that what you mean? And is this Jackrabbit stuff ready by v1.1? Nope. This is 1.2 stuff. -Vincent ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
