Runtime folder

[Jacopo Cappellato]

What about adding a new "runtime" folder, at the same level of
"applications", "framework" etc..., where all the logs, derby db files
and output (such as the pdf report files that can be created with the
new service)?
I see some advantages in keeping the "framework" folder clean from
runtime data.

This might be a nice addition. There are other things that could go  
there as well, like the catalina (tomcat) runtime data which  
currently goes under the framework/catalina directory.

This should be possible as just a configuration change, and might be  
very nice going forward.

I did the switch in rev. 522914
However I did not change the catalina/work folder, I'm sorry but I have
no idea on how to do it.
Can you help?

Okay, that should now be taken care of.

The only caveat, for those listening in, is that the "work" directory  
should be manually moved from framework/catalina to runtime/catalina  
if people want to preserve the persisted sessions they have (this  
usually isn't a big deal though).

startofbiz.bat needs to be updated. OFBiz won't start on Windows XP with the new
folder.

One more thing - SVN needs to be updated to exclude the data files in the
runtime folder. Right now if I try to create a patch, SVN tries to include all
of the data files in the runtime folder.

Jacopo,

Nice suggestion.

So, are the following are no longer created in /framework but in /runtime?

- /framework/data (database folders, eg hsql, derby)

- /framework/catalina/work

- /framework/log
