[news.eclipse.technology.apogee] Re: Want EFS bundle for Jackrabbit DBFi

[Dan Connelly <dsconnelly@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have installed Nuxeo Apogee from svn.    It appears I can use this to create a Jackrabbit repository in Eclipse under EFS.   The default is a repository in the local filesystem.    I assume that a different Jackrabbit repository backing store is also possible.   (I have not tried it yet.)   Changing repository.xml FileSystem class to DbFileSystem looks straight-forward.    Jackrabbit hides the backing store implementation from Apogee so there is no Apogee dependence on the Local FileSystem configuration (I assume).

I also assume, since Apogee uses EFS to provide access to the repository, that there is an Eclipse "platform" URI for an Apogee/Jackrabbit repository that I can use from non-Apogee Eclipse applications to access the same resource.    This URI should also hide both the Apogee and the Jackrabbit dependencies (I would further assume), though data content usage outside of Apogee might be a problem.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find where the Apogee Jackrabbit wizard configures (or defaults) the platform URI for Apogee/Jackrabbit resource.    

Can anyone offer me a hint?

Hi Benny:

OK, not a big job.   Just slightly bigger than a bread box.    And, yes, I am half way to cobbling one together own my own, learning EFS as I go.

I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask for a proper job of coding it.   (Without much hope, initially.   Outside of the FTP example, I don't see any EFS extensions other than "Local".)

On the other hand, I just noticed that Eclipse "Apogee" project will support Jackrabbit on Eclipse.  This might include a DBFileSystem bundle for EFS.  ??  I will cross post this reply to that forum.

Lately, I have noticed that whenever I have an itch someone else has already begun the scratching.

Hello Dan,

I don't know Jackrabbit exactly, but I don't think that it is a big job. Try yourself to implement it and share it with us :)

Cheers

Has anyone implemented this FileStore in EFS?   If so, is the source available?
