eXist database resetting!

Hi

Has anyone come across an issue where the embedded eXist database resets to its original state with only an orbeon collection? I've got a sneaking suspicion that this has something to do with the Orbeon web application redeploying in Tomcat, but I am still investigating. This has happened twice for me now, the first time was months ago, but I lost all the custom Form Builder form definitions I had made at the time.

Hi,

Yes, I have had the same situation when I deployed orbeon.war into Liferay Portal. All forms which we did in Form Builder has lost when we have restarted the Liferay Portal (restarted Tomcat).
But when I deploy orbeon.war in Tomcat without Liferay. It's saves all forms in eXist database.
How to solve this issue?

I would say it's not a good idea to use the embedded eXist for
anything but play. You should instead deploy a separate eXist
database.

But if you want to keep the embedded eXist, you can modify
exist-conf.xml, and have it point to a safe directory, outside of
where Tomcat/Liferay can overwrite files. Check for occurrences of
"exist-data".

Thanks Erik. Take your point about only using the embedded eXist for
play only. I will configure the embedded eXist to store its data files
outside of the orbeon context for the moment, but will look to change to
a separately deployed eXist soon. Thanks!
