RE: [JBoss-user] Store large pdfs with JBoss

Agreed.. Jakarta's Slide is another option, as it is an OSS WebDAV-compliant server that will let you configure namespaces for using the filesystem, a DB, or any pluggable store (e.g. /files is for the filestore, while /office_docs is targeted to a DB). It also supports the DeltaV versioning, and comes with a nice client library to talk to the system (over HTTP though, but you may be able to talk directly to it for what you want to do as well.. That API is still under dev AFAIK).

HTH,

Hello All,

 

I would recommend using some document management system like Plexus IFO or archival storage system like Plexus OSM...

 

advantages: 

faster, efficient, supports version, backups, searching...

 

regards

MS

I've always done it with the filesystem.  The database just stores the path to the file.  Typically you establish some rules for the filesystem store (retention time, max space, maybe use quotas) and have it owned by whatever user the app server runs as.

Subject: [JBoss-user] Store large pdfs with JBoss

Has anyone had experience storing large pdfs with jboss, say ~5mbs each?

 

I would like to do it with Oracle and BLOBs, but i've read that there's problems with the drivers and jboss and it doesn't look like it will be possible.

 

Has anyone done with with any other database?

 

Does anyone have ideas on how else to store these files, maybe without a database? I've always thought the filesystem was pretty much off limits from the appserver.

 

thanks.
