Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-3395:
----------------------------------------
You could probably do that, but technically the Preferences impl is doing the
right thing, since it should store data in its private data area. It seems like
you should configure Pax Runner to not delete the cache for each run otherwise
you'll run into this issue with every bundle that "correctly" saves data to is
private data area.

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Preferences Service
> Reporter: Pieter

> I want Preference Service to persist stored preferences and have them survive
> system restarts. Preference Service stores its stuff in the OSGi frameworks'
> cache region, which get cleared on restart (by Pax Runner, which is what I
> use). Trying to get around this was problematic, so I figured it would be
> nice to be able have the preferences database outside the cache directory. A
> system property like "felix.prefs.rootdir" could be used to set the location.
> I patched the Preference Service from trunk to get this feature and the
> changes are minimal, I just added the following lines to the
> DataFileBackingStoreImpl constructor:
> String configuredRootDir = System.getProperty("felix.prefs.rootdir");
> this.rootDirectory = configuredRootDir == null ?
> context.getDataFile("") : new File(configuredRootDir);
> this.rootDirectory.mkdirs();
