ModeShape File System External Resource Problem

[mustafamizrak]

Hi,

We configure our external resource as follows:

/subsystem=modeshape/repository=SomeRepository/source=SomeExtRes:add(classname="org.modeshape.connector.filesystem.FileSystemConnector",properties=[{"directoryPath"=>"/media/user/diskName/path"}],readonly="false",projections=["default:/document/extHdd=>/"],cacheTtlSeconds="1",queryable="true")

However, when saving new file to the /document/extHd/xxx with following code, external resource/drive is still empty. In other words, binary data is not saved in "/media/user/diskName/path/xxx" (external resource), it is saved in the path specified for binaries with repository create configuration.

Node newNode = parentNode.addNode("/document/extHd/xxx", NT_FILE);

Is there any idea to handle that problem or do we skip any additional configuration?

Regards,

The file system connector only works with "nt:file" and "nt:resource" nodes, as described in https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/MODE/Storing+files+and+folders. Also, see all the configuration options for the connector: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/MODE/File+system+connector.

Just to be clear, the connector allows nodes and properties to be stored directly on the file system. It is not the same thing as a binary store, which the repository uses to store binary values.

We now have a Wildfly/EAP test which verifies that files are stored correctly on disk as long as you're working with nt:file, nt:folder and nt:resource types: modeshape/FederationIntegrationTest.java at master · ModeShape/modeshape · GitHub
