Subversion content manager

This content manager reads and writes content to a Subversion repository. No special format is used, so you can use any existing repository. The content manager uses a local working copy to read data from (this way, data reading is very fast). Maintaining the working copy in a "clear" state and resolving of conflicts is obtained by writing data straight to the repository - so it is slower, but reliable.

Content manager properties (per repository)

All properties should be prepended with shotoku.<repository-id>.

• url - address of the subversion repository.

• username - username to access the repository. The username should have write access, unless you want to use shotoku for read-only access.

• password - password of the given user.

• localpath - a path on your local filesystem where a working copy can be created.

• fullupdate - number of update cycles, after which an update of the whole working copy is done. This should be set to 1, unless the update hook-script is installed in your repository and you are using the UpdaterServlet

• externals - should externals be checked out & updated. Note that externals are only supported for reading.

Global SVN content manager service properties

• shotoku.internal.svn.service.interval - number of milliseconds between two update cycles (that is, between one update of the WC and another)

• shotoku.internal.svn.service.firstupdate - should a "first update" be done on initializing Shotoku. Switching it off causes a faster startup of your application server/ application, but if the WC is not yet checked out, your application may be working incorrectly until the first update cycle of the service compeletes.
