Hi all,
I have a problem where Jackrabbit repository may be on one machine
but the appserver (using Deployment Model 2 with jackrabbit-jca rar) may
be on a different machine. The file system may not necessarily be
shared, and due to this I wanted to switch to the Derby database
entirely. Although it was successful for the most part, the searchIndex
still expects a mandatory path attribute! This is the only thing which
prevents me from having the whole repository on the DB. Is there
anything that can be done so that the search indexes are moved to the DB
as well?
the current implementation is based on a local file system and cannot be moved
to a database.
in early days there was support for the FileSystem abstraction but because of
heavy random access to the files the performance suffered. we then decided to
use the local file system only.
if index files are stored in a DB they probably have to be spooled to a temp
file where random access is possible. this however requires additional coding.
