I think we need to provide some CLI tools for administrating the server. At least we need a tool to re-build the index and to backup and restore the data in LDIF format including all operational attributes. Similar to OpenLDAP's slapindex, slapcat, and slapadd. IMO the problem with the current tools is that they are dedicated to JDBM partitions and directly works on the *.db files. Instead I think we should build those tools into the partition implementation. We could extend the Partition interface with some new methods: void buildIndex(); void backup( File/URL toFile ); void restore( File/URL fromFile ); and define extended operations to trigger those methods. The extended operations could be invoked from within Studio or from a new CLI tool. Of course, the problem is (as always) time. Kind Regards, Stefan
