[rules-users] Guvnor seems to copy assets across External RDBMS and file system

[Yuri]

Thanks for the reply Jervis.  I would like to clarify my question, however:
Guvnor uses a great deal of technologies with which I am not at all
familiar. I am new to JCR in general and jackrabbit in particular, so even
when I get something to seemingly work, I still question whether I've
broken a best practice.  Having said that, I used guvnor admin tool to
create the repository.xml file, and there are two spots where it still
points to the file system instead of the DB.  In both cases, it is the
SearchIndex element, using the lucene library.  I am pretty sure this is
what is still creating the folders in my file system.  My question is:
since the DB has its own indexes, do I still need the SearchIndex elements,
and if so, is it better to leave them pointing to the file system?  I am
asking because I assume that the repository.xml generated by the Guvnor
admin tool is more accurate than what I would create as a novice.
Thanks again for the help!
Best,
Yuri
