Scenario: An application which consists of the following parts - 1) Revolution executable 2) Revolution stack for storing global user information (read/write) 3) Valentina Database (read/write) 4) Revolution stack for storing user preferences (read/write)
Hello Trevor,
In my idea, the most secure way to get your project up would be to set up this all as a work for Apache + a TCP sockets driven application server (coded in Rev, Python or Java) connected to an ACID compliant database server (PostgreSQL, FireBird, Sybase, Oracle,...) where the Rev's client-side apps would have to act as browsers of the server-side stuff. Any other way will need lots more coding for less usable results (availaibility, concurrents accesses, TCO).
Problem:
Where is the best place to store files with different requirements? Some should be read/writable by just the user, others by every user who uses your application.
Here is what I have come up with and I am looking for feedback on this (more appropriate place to store things, etc.). These use folders which are accessible using specialFolderPath or are located where the application was installed by the user.
Windows XP/2000
* User specific preference files (4 in my list above)- C:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Application Data/MYAPP
specialFolderPath(26)
* Shared files writable by everyone (2 and 3)- C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/MYAPP
specialFolderPath(35)
Windows 98/ME
* User specific preference files (4)- C:/WINDOWS/Application Data/MYAPP
specialFolderPath(26)
* Everything else- C:/Program Files/MYAPP (basically the location where the user installs the app)
Mac OS X
* User specific preference files (4)- /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/MYAPP
specialFolderPath("pref")
* Shared files writable by everyone (2 and 3)- /Users/Shared/MYAPP
specialFolderPath("sdat")
Mac OS 9
* User specific preference files (4)- OS 9:System Folder/Preferences
specialFolderPath("pref")
* Shared files writable by everyone (2 and 3)- Location where application is installed.
