Declaration

public class PHXUserDirLibrarian
extends java.lang.Object
implements com.phoenix_int.aserver.library.IPHXLibrarian2

This librarian provides "user" directories by looking in a user path or by reading /etc/passwd. It looks for "public_mcre" directories inside of each user's directory and provides a "virtual" directory by the name ~<username> if it finds one.

initialize

public void initialize(com.phoenix_int.aserver.ascore.PHXConnection connection,
                       IPHXFactory factories,
                       com.phoenix_int.aserver.ascore.PHXAServerArgs args,

                throws java.lang.Exception

There are 2 options for this class. The first is userPath, which is a semi-colon separated list of paths to search. Each path will be searched for public_mcre directories ONE LEVEL DEEP from the specified directory. The other option is smartUserScan, which tells this class to try and read the user's home directories from /etc/passwd.

The XML format is:

 <librarianoptions>
  <userpath>path1/here;path2</userpath>
  <smartuserscan></smartuserscan>
 

Note: the mere existence of the smartUserScan tag turns the option on.
