schemaPluginsDir in context.xml doesn't work as expected

Description

After upload of a custom schema (via de GUI), the schema is placed in the WEB-INF/data/config/schema_plugins directory.

I use geonetwork.war under tomcat so in our system the dir is: /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/geonetwork/WEB-INF/data/config/schema_plugins

I want this to be an other dir, because if geonetwork.war is redeployed, the uploaded schema is gone.

In WEB-INF/config.xml I saw the following line:

<param name="schemaPluginsDir" value="schemaPlugins" />

I expect that if I change the value of this parameter to a different dir, it might do the trick (store uploaded profiles at a custom defined dir instead of the default one). Unfortunately that didn't work (nothing changes). Also, I couldn't find documentation on changing the default dir for the schema plugins.

Is the schemaPluginsDir meant for this purpose? If so, this currently doesn't work (geonetwork r8955).

If you want to be able to redeploy the war, you should set a data directory outside the webapp. The schema plugin is in the data directory.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Removed obsolete schemaPluginsDir element from config.xml - schema plugins are in the geonetwork data dir as described above.
