Hello,

I have two machines: dev and test, each with their own repository home and config file. But the config file in each contains the same settings, pointing to same filesystem (org.apache.jackrabbit.core.fs.db.OracleFileSystem), and the same database (org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.db.OraclePersistenceManager) with externalBLOBs property set to false . I have a model 2 deployment of the repository in both machines on their own tomcat instances. Now, when I use my test machine to update a binary file (nt:file->nt:resource->jcr:content->jcr:data), I believe it stores as blob in the database. When I try to access the same binary file from my dev machine, it does not find it. It throws the following exception:

ERROR [org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.db.Databas ePersistenceManager] - failed to read property state: a2183cd5-f246-405d-aef1-6c 96293b4a9b/{http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0}data java.lang.Exception: no such BLOB: /a2/18/3cd5f246405daef16c96293b4a9b/%7bhttp%3 a%2f%2fwww.jcp.org%2fjcr%2f1.0%7ddata.0.bin at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.db.DatabasePersistenceManager$ DbBLOBStore.get(DatabasePersistenceManager.java:1197) at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.util.Serializer.deserialize(Se rializer.java:293) at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.db.DatabasePersistenceManager. load(DatabasePersistenceManager.java:383) at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.state.SharedItemStateManager.loadItemState (SharedItemStateManager.java:1155)

If I try to access any other node/property from my dev machine, created using test machine, it works fine. Just the binary property fails. What am I doing wrong?

* Should both machines point to the same repository home and config file, and not have separate ones of their own?

Thanks in advance. Mona
