Can you persist messages to the file system?

[beck4353]

I am trying to deploy JBoss Messaging and am wondering how to persist the messages. I can get it workign under Oracle, SQL Server, and the in-memory database. However, I have a site that does not want all of the Messaging tables in the database and would like to persist messages to the file system.

Is this possible? The in-memory would work for the lifetime of the JVM, but what about undelivered messages at shutdown?

Thanks!

in-memory database

What do you mean by that?

No, not yet. You could raise a JIRA issue for it.

You could try a simple database like Apache Derby (http://db.apache.org/derby/) which is JDBC compliant, stores its database in the filesystem and can be run embedded inside another application. You would have to create another persistence-service for Derby based on the ones contained in the examples/config directory of the distribution. I've never used Derby in anger, so I don't know how it performs.

This is fine for a single server (non clustered) deployment, but there are multiple issues with using local databases/local file storage in a clustered deployment.
