Hi there,
I'm using jLibrary to implement jackrabbit and I'm trying to configure it to
work with Oracle, using the newly added OraclePersistenceManager. I have
read in other postings that people were able to set up the 'correct'
configuration, even before these new classes were added. I have been
struggling with the repository.xml for a while
- I was wondering if anyone could post an example repository.xml configured
for the oracle persistence Manager.
I also have some even more newbie questions about the repository.xml:
1)What is the benefit of using the DbFileSystem (or OracleFileSystem)
instead of the localFileSystem class?
apart from nodes and properties which are stored using the PersistenceManager
there's additional repository state like custom node types, registered
namespaces,
locks etc that is stored in an abstract FileSystem, typically in a
LocalFileSystem
(i.e. on your local drive).
now you can use DbFileSystem to store this information in a database.
this way only the search index would be stored locally, everyhing else
is in the database. the advantages are obvious. however, the disadvantage
of this configuration is that you cannot easily read/edit the information stored
in the DbFileSystem. therefore i wouldn't recommend using DbFileSystem
in general.
... What are the parameters needed for
this to function correctly with Oracle?(Specifically, what is the path in
that case?)
please take a look at the javadoc of o.a.j.core.fs.db.OracleFileSystem
where all configuration parameters are documented.
2)What is the difference between the FileSystem tag outside the workspace
tag and the one inside workspace? Can they be different types (db and file
system)?
please take a look at ./jackrabbit/src/main/config/repository.xml in svn
where all elements are documented.

3) Where are we supposed to configure the ${rep.home}, ${wsp.name} and
${wsp.home} variables? How are they configured? For whatever reason the
jackrabbit/repository is created in my jboss/bin directory (the working
directory).
Thanks so much for any help,
-robbie
