Issues configuring repositoryURI or homeDir
-------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-2745
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2745
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jackrabbit-core
Affects Versions: 2.1.1
Environment: Windows 7 64 bit, JBoss 5.1.0.GA, Sun JDK 1.6.0_18
Reporter: Sverker Abrahamsson
I've encountered an issue when upgrading jackrabbit to 2.1.1 from 1.x version.
Earlier I used to set homeDir parameter to ${jboss.server.data.dir}/jackrabbit
for the repository to be placed in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/data/jackrabbit.
I see that homeDir is now deprecated and repositoryURI should be used instead.
However, I can't succeed with placing it anywhere else than
$JBOSS_HOME/bin/jackrabbit which is where it ends up with repositoryURI =
jcr-jackrabbit://jackrabbit
I've used a debugger and found that the issue occurs in
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.RepositoryFactoryImpl.getRepository(Map parameters)
where the repository uri is parsed by creating a URI object at line 81 (source
code from jackrabbit 2.1.1).
First attempt, if I set repositoryURI to
"jcr-jackrabbit://../server/default/data/jackrabbit" then ".." is interpreted
as the authority and "/server/default/data/jackrabbit" as the path, instead of
it both as relative path. This doesn't seem to be the right behavior as I can
read from jdk javadoc.
Second attempt, setting repositoryURI to
"jcr-jackrabbit://${jboss.server.data.dir}/jackrabbit" then that is expanded to
"jcr-jackrabbit://D:\java\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\data/jackrabbit" which
cause a URISyntaxException with message "Illegal character in authority at
index 17".
Third attempt, setting repositoryURI to
"jcr-jackrabbit://D:/java/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/data/jackrabbit" cause
D: to be parsed as authority and the rest as path.
Fourth attempt, using the old depreciated homeDir config parameter the
repository is instanciated but the webapp throws exception that repository
startup configuration is invalid. It is still creating it's temp directory
under ${jboss.home}/bin/jackrabbit/
Fifth attempt, trying to create repository from webapp. If repository home
directory is specified as jackrabbit then it's created under
${jboss.home}/bin/jackrabbit/. If specified as
d:/java/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/data/jackrabbit then the following
occurs:
11:58:14,220 INFO [STDOUT] 13.09.2010 11:58:14 *INFO * Installer: Creating

use exisintg repository home

(Installer.java, line 160)
Sixth attempt, copying the repository created by webapp from
$JBOSS_HOME/bin/jackrabbit to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/data/jackrabbit cause
the webapp still to throw exception that repository startup configuration is
invalid
Seventh attempt, after googling on how URI class works on windows I find a
workaround to set repositoryURI to
jcr-jackrabbit:/D:/java/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/data/jackrabbit where it
suceeds to instansiate the repository. Webapp still throws exception
"Repository startup configuration is not valid".
Eight attempt, debugging shows that RepositoryStartupServlet expects
bootstrap.properties in $JBOSS_HOME/bin/jackrabbit so it's copied there. It
does not work to use the macro ${jboss.server.data.dir} but using absolute path
for repository.home and repository.config works
Ninth attempt, changing bootstrap-config parameter in web.xml to
${jboss.server.data.dir}/jackrabbit/bootstrap.properties works fine. However
it's anoying to have to use absoute paths in bootstrap.properties since the
jboss macros aren't expanded, neither does
repository.config=${rep.home}/repository.xml work.
Tenth attempt, removing repository.home and repository.config from
bootstrap.properties and setting them as init parameters in web.xml works fins,
then ${jboss.server.data.dir} is expanded properly. $rep.home} doesn't work for
repository.config but that was expected.
Suggested actions to solve this issue:
1. Document how to set repositoryURI including the quirk on Windows, I haven't
found anything regarding this parameter on jackrabbit website
2. In org.apache.jackrabbit.core.RepositoryFactoryImpl.getRepository(Map
parameters) change line 81 to the following which will solve the issue of \ in
path names on windows when ${jboss.server.data.dir} is expanded:
URI uri = new URI(parameter.toString().trim().replaceAll("\\", "/"));
3. In org.apache.jackrabbit.j2ee.RepositoryStartupServlet.configure() expand
macros when the properties are loaded. I believe the jboss platform properties
are availible from System.getProperties() but not sure. I believe this is
relevant for other platforms as well.
4. I think there may be nessary to identify why creating repository from the
webapp doesn't work according to the error messages above, I believe this is
also and issue with URI but I haven't analysed if further.
