Re: [rules-users] Guvnor repository database use to store assets

I got some additional details on the issue. i would appreciate some advice on whether I should be storing the workspace to a local file system or database . In my repository.xml, I have the following setting for the workspace file system. <Workspace name="${wsp.name}"> <!-- virtual file system of the workspace: class: FQN of class implementing the FileSystem interface --> <FileSystem class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.db.MSSqlFileSystem"> <param name="driver" value="javax.naming.InitialContext"/> <param name="url" value="droolsRepositoryDataSource"/> <param name="schema" value="mssql"/> <param name="schemaObjectPrefix" value="FS_WS_${wsp.name}_"/> </FileSystem> Is it likely that because Guvnor seems to be storing the workspace information in the database , it is trying to create the database tables again for workspace during guvnor restart after deleting workspace and repository directories on file system? we have another Guvnor which uses the following setting for workspace.This seems to be working without any issues when we delete the workspace and repository directory and deploying Guvnor again. it is likely that this setting does not store workspace information in the database and hence does not need to create additional tables? <FileSystem class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem"> <param name="path" value="${wsp.home}"/> </FileSystem> --- On *Tue, 9/6/11, Tihomir Surdilovic /&lt;tsurdilo(a)redhat.com&gt;/* wrote: From: Tihomir Surdilovic <tsurdilo(a)redhat.com&gt; Subject: Re: [rules-users] Guvnor repository database use to store assets To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org Date: Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 9:33 AM All Jackrabbit template ddl files are in the jackrabbit-core jar.
