Pieter commented on FELIX-3395:
-------------------------------
Actually, thas was my first attempt to fix this. Since what I wanted was just a
small extension to DataFileBackingStoreImpl, I started by subclassing that
store and registering it as a service. Only change needed was setting the
protected rootdirectory property. However, since rootdirectory is final, I
could not do that, so I ended up copying DataFileBackingStoreImpl and adding a
line. If you would make that property not final, that would help too.

> 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();
