Running Jackrabbit JCRTestSuite with a database

[Pablo Rios <pr...@bea.com>]

I've been running the JCRTestSuite test suite of Jackrabbit (JCR API
tests) with a repository configured to store workspace and versioning
data in a dbms (*), but if I configure the global repository state
(namespaces and node types) to use the dbms (**) lots of tests fail with
NoSuchNodeTypeException. Using the local file system (***) for global
repository state all tests pass.
 
(*)
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bundle.MSSqlPersistenceManager
(**) org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.db.DbFileSystem
(***) org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.local.LocalFileSystem
 
The repository configuration is in the
jackrabbit-core\applications\test\repository.xml file.
 
Why aren't the test namespace (among others) and custom node types of
this test suite registered when using a DatabaseFileSystem ?
How are the ns_reg.properties and custom_nodetypes.xml resource files
processed ?
What am I doing wrong ?
 
Thanks,
Pablo

the jackrabbit checkout uses predefined namespaces and node type definitions, 
which are located here:
jackrabbit-core/applications/test/repository/namespaces/ns_reg.properties.install
jackrabbit-core/applications/test/repository/namespaces/custom_nodetypes.xml.install

if you use a DatabaseFileSystem you need to register the namespaces and node 
types manually before you run the tests.

the tck-candidate contribution already contains such a setup procedure. See: 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/trunk/contrib/tck-candidate
