             Summary: Changes to Directory naming in FileEntityStore
                 Key: ZEST-42
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEST-42
             Project: Zest
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Niclas Hedhman



The FileEntityStore is using the FileConfig library to create a directory to store the entities in.

The FileConfig defines those as

MAC; {user}/Library/Application Support/{application}
Linux; {user}/.{application}/data
Windows; {user}/Application Data/{application}/data

The FileEntityStore then appends the identity of the FileEntityStore, and a static "data/" location after that. The identity is to ensure that multiple FileEntityStores can be used nicely together, but the data is IMHO unnecessary and should be removed.

Now, IF a configuration is provided to FileEntityStore, then the above location is the root path. If no configuration is given at all, then System.getProperty( "user.dir" ) + "/qi4j/filestore/" is used as root path.

The root path is used as the location for any relative paths specified in the configuration, but can be completely overridden with an absolute path..
