Hi Stefan,
At this time, I am only doing some tests for big repositories and one of
the requisites is distributed workspaces. I need to store data in
different hard drives, if I use internal blob's, it works.
I still not sure which is better: internal or external blob ;-)

Hi again,
I look at the source codes and I found the cause:
In DatabasePersistenceManager, if the externalBlob property is true, it
creates a new LocalFileSystem object using the context.getHomeDir
instead using the root path of context.getFileSystem. There is another
problem: the root path of a FileSystem is not readable, so I had to
change this property visibility to create the FileSystem with the
correct path.
This is a real problem for me because I need to create each workspace in
a separate paths. Till now the only solution is setting the externalBlob
property to false.
you could e.g. override the init(PMContext) method in your
DatabasePersistenceManager derived class as follows:
public void init(PMContext context) throws Exception {
super.init(context);
if (externalBLOBs) {
/**
* store BLOBs in a sub directory of the workspace's
* virtual file system
*/
BasedFileSystem blobFS = new
BasedFileSystem(context.getFileSystem(), "blobs");
blobFS.init();
this.blobFS = blobFS;
blobStore = new FileSystemBLOBStore(blobFS);
}
}
however, i have difficulties understanding your requirement. could you
please
elaborate why you need to locate the workspace home directories outside
the repository home dir?
cheers
stefan
Thanks
