Hi,
I was working on the DirectoryService startup process yesturday. This is
called by the DirectoryServiceFactory, and when you launch the
integration tests, you get a NPE.
The reason we get it is because at some point, we don't have a working
directory to look at for the schema.
In order to fix this, we just have to inject the SchemaPartition working
directory, and we will be set. The question is now to determinate how we
will inject this property.
The schema partition is initialized only once : if its working directory
is empty. In this case, we extract all the existing schema files from a
jar, into a directory. Otherwise, we just read this directory, and load
the registries. The problem is that we must have a pointer to this
working directory, and we don't have any atm.
Questions :
1) how do we set the working directory ?
2) when do we set it, assuming that it may be a part of the configuration ?
3) shouldn't it be a static definition ?
Right now, all the partitions are stored into the DirectoryService
working directory (default to 'server-work'), under a subdirectory using
the partition Id (ie, "schema" here for the schema partition). That
sounds good to me atm.
wdyt ?
