RE: taking over existing filestructure with slide?

["Pill, Juergen" <Ju...@softwareag.com>]

Hello Sebastian,

We have a PlainFileSystemStore, which is near to what you described. Would
you be interested to use this store as a basis for your development? It
inherits from MemoryStore (some variables need to be made protected thus). I
will send you the class, if you are interested. You could move this store to
the slidestore package and re-donate it, when completed.

What do you think?

Best regards

Juergen

Would you please give me some hints about where to lay my hands on
and what do I have to change in order to get this (see above) work?

Is it possible to use the

   slidestore.reference.FileContentStore

for writing into the filesystem. And only to modify the

   slidestore.reference.MemoryDescriptorsStore

in order to read all necessary directory structures and
file properties straight from the filesystem?

What do I have to keep in mind to read directory structure
and file properties from filesystem?

Sorry, I have not had a very close look on the sources. ;-)
Maybe you will be able to give me a starting point and
some info's about the structures I have to modify.

thanx

Sebastian

Yeah, I'm interested in your PlainFileSystemStore... what does this
thingy do? To serve an existing filestructure without the need of
a description store (without pre-permission-setting?)?

Or do I have to add everything that has to do with unix permissions myself?

thanx,

Sebastian


PS: I tried to use MemoryDescriptorStore, but something's strange with
     the meta-information... I would like to have a closer look on your
     PlainFileSystemStore... and maybe ask some more newbie questions ;-)
