Issue created at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2745. I did some
more analyzing and found some workarounds:
Sixth attempt, copying the repository created by webapp from
$JBOSS_HOME/bin/jackrabbit to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/data/jackrabbit
cause the webapp still to throw exception that repository startup
configuration is invalid
Seventh attempt, after googling on how URI class works on windows I find a
workaround to set repositoryURI to
jcr-jackrabbit:/D:/java/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/data/jackrabbit where
it succeeds to instansiate the repository. Webapp still throws exception
"Repository startup configuration is not valid".
Eight attempt, debugging shows that RepositoryStartupServlet expects
bootstrap.properties in $JBOSS_HOME/bin/jackrabbit so it's copied there. It
does not work to use the macro ${jboss.server.data.dir} but using absolute
path for repository.home and repository.config works
Ninth attempt, changing bootstrap-config parameter in web.xml to
${jboss.server.data.dir}/jackrabbit/bootstrap.properties works fine. However
it's annoying to have to use absolute paths in bootstrap.properties since
the jboss macros aren't expanded, neither does
repository.config=${rep.home}/repository.xml work.
Tenth attempt, removing repository.home and repository.config from
bootstrap.properties and setting them as init parameters in web.xml works
fins, then ${jboss.server.data.dir} is expanded properly. $rep.home} doesn't
work for repository.config but that was expected.
Suggested actions to solve this issue:
1. Document how to set repositoryURI including the quirk on Windows, I
haven't found anything regarding this parameter on jackrabbit website
2. In org.apache.jackrabbit.core.RepositoryFactoryImpl.getRepository(Map
parameters) change line 81 to the following which will solve the issue of \
in path names on windows when ${jboss.server.data.dir} is expanded:
URI uri = new URI(parameter.toString().trim().replaceAll("\\", "/"));
3. In org.apache.jackrabbit.j2ee.RepositoryStartupServlet.configure() expand
macros when the properties are loaded. I believe the jboss platform
properties are available from System.getProperties() but not sure. I believe
this is relevant for other platforms as well.
4. I think there may be necessary to identify why creating repository from
the webapp doesn't work according to the error messages above, I believe
this is also and issue with URI but I haven't analyzed if further.
