Re: [newbie] Slide with read-only support?

[James Mason <ma...@apache.org>]

Just a thought. Would it be possible to use Alon's new simple file
stores for the node/content store and a jdbc store for the
revisiondescriptors? As far as Slide could tell the files would be
writeable (I suppose you could set an inheritted write-content denied
ACE) but Slide handles non-writeable stores fairly well (JNDI store for
instance).

If I understand the problem description correctly (I'm on codine right
now so no promises) you might want one jdbc-only store for your business
metadata and one simple file store/jdbc metadata store for each data
location (CD/DVD/etc). All you'd really end up storing for the metadata
on the files would be the storage key (or whatever you called it).

The end result is I'm looking for an 'image repository' that supports Hierarchial Storage Management (HSM) where an image could be stored on local drive, NAS, CD/DVD rom, remote Jukebox, or other storage media in a scenario where a single image may be stored in multiple locations.

In this context, metadata/index data/search data represents business information and not image metadata (names, codes, dates, etc).  The business information is stored in XML, and searches would be done with XPATH/XQuery.

Since I would like to support HSM and allow CD/DVD/Jukebox access to images that no longer require high-speed access, the question brought up is if Slide can access and manage a 'store' located on CD/DVD/Jukebox to have one interface for retrieving all images (for application integration).
