Not creating version when using proppatch

2006-03-29 Thread Mathew Blackberry
Hi,

I wanted to know if there was a way to not create a new version of a file
when I do a proppatch on the file.  I do not user auto-versioning.

I would like the property to be replaced on the existing file rather than
creating a new version.

Thanks
Mat

Re: using user database (mySQL) in slide

2006-03-29 Thread Ha Pham

Hello Tarun and all,

You can use a database realm in tomcat to authenticate slide >URLs and 
then

have slide auto create users as they come in.


I downloaded the Tomcat bundle, so the authentication is set by default. Now 
I want to integrate Slide into our system that already has user list stored 
in mySQL (and may be dinamically changed). Basicly, what I need is almost 
the same as Bart Spedden's

<-quotes>
(I'm trying to configure the a "store" in the Domain.xml so that the 
contentstore can be pointed at the file system and the securitystore, 
lockstore, revisiondescriptorsstore, and revisiondescriptorstore can be 
pointed at a database.


As of now I have configured a JDB Connection Pool in Tomcat by adding the 
following to server.xml:


   
   crossContext="true">

   
   

Then, in Slide's Domain.xml I have defined the following for the "slide" 
namespace:


   
   
   classname="org.apache.slide.store.impl.rdbms.J2EEStore">
   name="datasource">jdbc/slideDataSource
   name="adapter">org.apache.slide.store.impl.rdbms.OracleRDBMSAdapter

   false
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
Could someone explain to me how to configure the contentstore to use the 
file system instead of placing the MIME encoded files in a CLOB in oracle.)


<-end quotes>

but I need to store user info. in database and the content (files) will be 
stored in file system.


Thank you,
Ha Pham

This is not the best but simplest method to get user accounts working with
slide from a database.

Why not. We use it at Berkeley, and I do not mind sharing how. It may make
Slide look better (read: of interest to so many) and give developers a nudge
towards giving us a year or so worth of improvements and bug fixes in the
form of 2.2 release.

We use Slide client as an interface between the higher level application and
the data store. What is on top of Slide in that sense may be interesting to
see as well.

Hello Sliders,

Wouldn't it be nice to have a list of universities/institutions using 
Slide in a production environment ?

In this way, we could gather information about :
- hardware used
- store/backend
- population size
- encountered problems and solutions
This could promote Slide and help people wanting to use Slide in the future.
Can we use the wiki for this ?

RE: How to restore Slide resources ?

2006-03-29 Thread Miguel Figueiredo

Hello Thomas,

 You are right, that way you wouldn't need to create such a tool - in fact,
it seems it is what Michael Oliver is talking about.

 In our case, we use the *bindings* extension of the TxStore witch stores
the metainformation and content somewhat differently and very difficult to
follow by human eyes -> no directory structure, it's just one folder with
thousands of small files with sequencial numeric names with relations with
each other... as I said, very difficult to follow by human eyes.

 The tool to implement would make transparent the way the stores persist
information. In fact, you could use it with other webdav servers :)

Best regards,
Miguel Figueiredo

RE: How to restore Slide resources ?

2006-03-29 Thread Ray Sprinkle
That assumes someone is using an all TxtStore, all JDBCStore, all something.  
If you are using a heterogenous set of stores, synchronization of the different 
stores during a backup is a problem. We use an Oracle DB for all of our storage 
so we can do a database backup, but we're actually considering doing a split 
Oracle/TxtStore backend and then backups will become very entertaining.  The 
post about replication, JXTA, et al sounds like an interesting solution.  Does 
anyone else have any suggestions?

RE: How to restore Slide resources ?

2006-03-29 Thread Michael Oliver
Here is how we do redundant storage.

We extended the Tx* stores with a "Store Manager" that implements all the
methods and uses the original Tx* filesystem xml code.  But our Store
Manager looks in a registry and also calls a secondary store based on the
path and event being processed.  This secondary store then has full access
to the updates of both descriptors (metadata) and content.

We use the secondary stores for integration with external systems by writing
an adaptor between the slide store interfaces and the external system's
interfaces. For redundant storage we have a JXTA Secondary store that raises
an advertisement of a change to either metadata or content, and that
advertisement is picked up by other slide repositories that are registered
and participants in the JXTA P2P cloud and then they asynchronously either
apply the change directly from data in the advertisement or connect back to
the changed repository to pick up the change.

Because the secondary stores are mapped we can have some content
synchronized in this way while other content is not.

RE: How to restore Slide resources ?

2006-03-29 Thread Max Pfingsthorn
Is this not possible with the filesystem store? I would have thought that 
collection properties are stored within the respective directory? The only 
thing you would have to do to hot-restore then would be to kick out all nodes 
below and including the restored one from the slide cache in the extended 
store. Next time they are accessed, they will be loaded again from the actual 
store (the filesystem).
Some programming is required though.

How does that sound? I know it doesn't actually solve your one-click-backup 
question, but it would be cool to just manipulate the physical data on disk, 
click, and be "restored"... That would work well with your NAS.

Re: How to restore Slide resources ?

2006-03-29 Thread Thomas Bellembois

Hello !

Sorry, I have just noticed that my explanations are not very clear...
I will try to re-explain :-)
What I wanted to say is that I think that we could save and restore the 
ENTIRE Slide content and metadata just by saving the content and 
metadata root path. Usefull if the Slide backend crashes...
At the University of Rennes 1 we intend to use a SAN(NAS) for the Slide 
backend. This SAN makes snapshots everyday of each file/directory so 
that a user can restore its documents up to 1 week ago.
But with Slide, to restore just one part of the tree (for example a user 
homedir), I am not sure that we could just restore one directory (and 
attached metadata) and restart the server.
Some French universities are waiting for this kind of functionnalities 
to use Slide in a production use.

Hope it is more clear.

Thanks for your help,

Regards,

Thomas

Hello,

I wonder how we can restore resources on Slide - not the 
entire backend, 
but just some resources ?
We could propably do that restoring content and handling 
metadata, but 
this is not an easy task...
Some people are frightened of using Slide in a production environment 
because of that.


Regards,

Thomas

Ok, I will make a new wiki page.
I'll keep you in touch.

Why not. We use it at Berkeley, and I do not mind sharing how. It may make
Slide look better (read: of interest to so many) and give developers a nudge
towards giving us a year or so worth of improvements and bug fixes in the
form of 2.2 release.

We use Slide client as an interface between the higher level application and
the data store. What is on top of Slide in that sense may be interesting to
see as well.

Hello Sliders,

Wouldn't it be nice to have a list of universities/institutions using 
Slide in a production environment ?

In this way, we could gather information about :
- hardware used
- store/backend
- population size
- encountered problems and solutions
This could promote Slide and help people wanting to use Slide in the future.
Can we use the wiki for this ?

Regards,

Thomas
