Still we may be thinking in a different direction. The initial import
from data directory to JDBCConfig is a one time journey. After that
the idea is to manage via REST API (yes ResourceStore still needs a
REST API).
It sounds like you are considering editing files on disk, and then
reimporting them as they change? That is a very tricky problem since
the data directory would then be a local cache *and* and place for
editing.
Well this was something Kevin suggested that was considered before.
That's why I was saying we need to get away from the use of file(), of
course we want people to use the DB directly. Without this, we will
definitely need to change any code that writes configuration to a file,
because that will not be saved then.
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/main/src/main/java/org/geoserver/security/file/FileWatcher.java
Have a look at the above, it is used by security system to "watch"
for configuration changes.
I am aware of it, I was looking into it for the reason above. I'm just
not sure why you thought I wanted to replace it. This is why we should
continue this on a chat, miscommunications... ;)
I don't completely agree, we have a few sections of the code that
require file(). See the initial design doc for details (it was one of
templating things (GeoServerTeamplateLoader?) and perhaps Fonts in the
styles directory.
Since dir() is a short cut for going through list() and calling file()
it would remain undeprecated.
Okay, understood. Fair enough, as long as they are not used to write
data, and preferably not when not necessary but you agree with that.
You know resource.dir() acts like find or create a directory right? It
will make the directory if needed ...
Yes I know, but again, I was talking about creating a directory in the
store (which may or may not be a FS or a DB) and not on the FS.
Anyway, let's finish this on chat.

Niels
