I can't answer a lot of what you ask about accessing the JCR in
another webapp... etc - but I can talk about the
DataSourcePersistenceManager and setting up a MySQL database backend
- since I've spent some time working on getting my build process
automated and getting this working reliably.
Here are some notes I have for you that may or may not be helpful.
I'm being brief here, but if you need a better explanation let me
know...
You DO create the file in ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/<hostname>/
<webappname>.xml to get the DataSourcePersistenceManager working
properly. (I've tried to put a context.xml inside the META-INF/ dir
of the war file that had the same contents as what I put in the conf
directory, but it didn't work for some reason)
What sucks about making that file manually is that when you undeploy
the webapp for any reason, it will delete that file so you have to
recreate it whenever you undeploy / redeploy.
I've taken to making my own custom war file where I include the DSPM
in the WEB-INF/lib dir and include the dpsm search files in the repo-
conf dirs, and include the properties in magnoliaAuthor and
magnoliaPublic bootstrap files to use their respective dspm search
files. It simplifys redeploying for me to the point where I just need
to make sure to put that config file outside in the tomcat host
directory.
I would put the mySQL jdbc driver in the lib directory too, but
another webapp I'm running on my server uses it and we have it in the
common libs directory.

If you are building 3.0.3 (or whatever version) from scratch, you can
run "mvn clean install -P webapp" and it will generate an exploded
war and the war file in the magnolia directory

Hello,
I have few questions about the JCR interface in magnolia :
- How to store the repository on my Desktop (for exemple). I think
the only thing I have to do is to change the repository home
location in default/magnolia.properties. Is It right ?
- Does magnolia use JNDI with the default configuration (ie with a
fresh downloaded war) ?
- How to access the magnolia repository with another webapp using
tomcat JNDI (see jackrabbit model 2 : http://jackrabbit.apache.org/
doc/deploy/howto-model2.html). In other words, how to create a JCR
connection pool (with a derby database). Please, can you describe
the procedure for the magnolia webapp and the other webapp. Is it
possible to add a ressource in the the server.xml
(gloabalNamingRessource) specifying the jackrabbit-debery-
search.xml as configFilePath ?
- Is the file DataSourcePersistenceManager.jar (or
JNDIPooledDatabasePersistenceManager.jar) needed to run magnolia in
such configuration.
- I have tried to build a test webapp based on the official
jackrabbit tutorial (model 2). There is a class used to declare the
ressource
(org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.BindableRepositoryFactory) which
is not present on the version 1.3 of jackrabbit-core. When I try to
configure the resource with the
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.provider.DummyInitialContextFactory
classe, I get a ClassCastException
- According to the apache tutorial, a snippet (Ressource link) is
needed in server.xml or in conf/enginename...webapp.xml, ie outside
of the webapp folder. How can magnolia access to JNDI if this
snippet is not added ? (the wiki page http://www.magnolia.info/wiki/
Wiki.jsp?page=SettingUpMySQLRepositoryWithMagnolia3.1 does not
mention it)
Thanks a lot in advance.
