changing directory of ldif/data
For an embedded server, is it possible to read an ldif in from 1 directory
(i.e packaged with the product) , and store LDAP data (server-work/system)
in a different one (i.e. outside of the product directory)?
I'm using apacheds 1.5, i tried the below code, but it seems to be ignored
when reading in my ldif:
service.setWorkingDirectory(new File("\newdir"));
Currently i'm adding my schema changes to ou=schema,cn=other, does that
affect ldif input vs. creating a new partition?
Thanks,
David

yea, i moved it from before server.start() to before service.startup() and
it works fine. Guess the names look so similar I assumed it was in the right
spot. Thanks for the help

Re: changing directory of ldif/data
Posted by Kiran Ayyagari <ka...@apache.org>.
again, I doubt that the service is getting started even before you
call this startServer()
can you check the other function(s) which are called before calling
startServer()
(and post that code if you still have issues, if it is sensitive share
with me the relevant parts alone)

Re: changing directory of ldif/data
Posted by david jones <jo...@gmail.com>.
here's the routine with the guts:
public void startServer() throws Exception
{
server = new LdapServer();
server.setTransports( new TcpTransport( getPort() ) );
server.setDirectoryService( service );
server.setAllowAnonymousAccess(false);
boolean made = (new File(ServerConstants.LDAP_FOLDER)).mkdir();
service.setWorkingDirectory(new
File(OfmConstants.DATA_DIR_BASE+ServerConstants.LDAP_FOLDER));
System.out.println("Set LDAP working directory to: " +
service.getWorkingDirectory());
server.start();
}
Note: the print stmt outputs: Working Dir is C:\data\ldap
But server-work/schema and server-work/server are created in the
applications root directory

there is, use the setWorkingDirectory(), I suspect that your app is
not setting this value properly
or there seems to be something else going wrong, it will be helpful if
you paste the code used for

nah, the same data directory cannot be used by two instances (very dangerous!)
but in general the time taken to start the directory is very
negligible, are you doing some time consuming task during startup?

Re: changing directory of ldif/data
Posted by david jones <jo...@gmail.com>.
It doesn't need to be after the service is started, isn't there a way during
initialization to say I want all my ldap files to go somewhere besides the
default?
I'm thinking about possibilities such as a 2nd instance of the app runs in
a different directory, but can use the ldap data from the first, maybe for a
cheap and quick cold start redundancy

Re: changing directory of ldif/data
Posted by david jones <jo...@gmail.com>.
Thanks, yes i've read your link and can read in a LDIF schema from the
default directory or by specifying one on LdifFileLoader.
my main problem is changing the directories for output, how can i change the
location of where the ldap data is stored? What does setWorkingDirectory do,
and are there any release or environment restrictions to it (it seems to do
nothing for me)
thanks,
david

Re: changing directory of ldif/data
Posted by Kiran Ayyagari <ka...@apache.org>.
I guess you want to add some new schema to the directory, if that is
correct you need to add
them directly to the ou=schema partition.
This section [1] will help you in understanding the format of the schema entries

Re: changing directory of ldif/data
Posted by david jones <jo...@gmail.com>.
i'm having trouble changing the directories of where the ldif is read from
and/or where the ldap data is stored.
1) The below works if i set NEW_DIR to an absolute path:
LdifFileLoader ldifLoader = new LdifFileLoader(service.getAdminSession(),
NEW_DIR + "/newSchema.ldif");
ldifLoader.execute();
2) But this does not work, i.e. its looking in
System.getProperty("user.dir");, not DIFFERENT_DIR for the ldif file
service.setWorkingDirectory(new File(DIFFERENT_DIR));
LdifFileLoader ldifLoader = new LdifFileLoader(service.getAdminSession(),
"/newSchema.ldif");
3) Is there away to change where the schema and system folders are stored?
They seem to always go in to "user.dir"/server-work
4) does being on 1.5.5 vs. being on 1.5.6,1.5.7 change this behavior?
5) does creating a new partition instead of adding my new schema elements in
cn=other,ou=schema help/hinder this or anything else?
thanks,
david
