[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-571) Export-Import from XML (for backup and migration)

Michael Neale commented on JBRULES-571:
---------------------------------------

API is easy - JCR provides ability to export and import the "system view"  - PLEASE NOTE: this should ONLY EVER include the drools:repository node - you CAN NOT restore or erase the jcr:system to level node.

So we need a few things
* A new tab on the "admin" page which has backup/restore
* The ability to generate and download from the browser an XML file of the repo
* The ability to erase all the content (with MULTIPLE WARNINGS !) - should be secured functionality (or perhaps we provide a command line util?)
* The ability to upload a file which was previously downloaded, and import the content.

Uploading and downloading files is done in the ModelAttachmentFileWidget - it uses a seperate servlet to do this.

> Need to have an admin tool, or API, which can be called from the UI to export the content to XML, and then load the content (plus clear the repository).
> Ideally this will use the export* and importXML method in JCR (the Jackrabbit backup tool is also possible). the XML format in JCR is cross platform, so in theory this should provide portability, but having some issues at the moment not being able to import.
> As a database will be recommended configuration, Sysadmin type backup/restore can be done using the normal database tools.
