Re: [Rife-users] users.xml
As JR said, I think that mutable XML is not a good idea. Just use the DB users.

Note the Memory in MemoryUsers. It's stored in memory and is bootstrapped by the users.xml file. Nothing is stopping you from storing state in the XML file, but usage of a database is almost required in today's webapp world. I would strongly suggest just using an embedded database instead of trying to create some persistent memory cache. > > 2) update Rife's runtime authentication database > > In other words..

Re: [Rife-users] users.xml
Baube, Look in your WEB-INF/web.xml file; it's defined in the init-param "rep.path" HTH -- eokyere On 12/12/05, F Baube <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Another potentially stupid question here ... > > How exactly does Rife locate the directory "rep/" at start-up ? > Does it use CATALINA_* or TOMCAT_* environment variables ? > > I grep'd the source code but could not find anything obvious. > > > thx > > fred > > -- > F.Baube* > Georgetown/MSFS/1988 * Act locally. > email fbaube#welho.com * Think pangalactically. > gsm +358 41 536 8192 * > wmd 60°11'10.8"N 24°57'36.9"E > ___ > Rife-users mailing list > Rife-users@uwyn.com > http://www.uwyn.com/mailman/listinfo/rife-users > ___ Rife-users mailing list Rife-users@uwyn.com http://www.uwyn.com/mailman/listinfo/rife-users
