Hi Anirban,
Ouch -- Prevayler 2.00.001 was before I joined the project, and it wasn't
even a production release (it was labeled "alpha").
Both the filename syntax and the internal format of the journal files have
changed since then. It probably wouldn't be too hard to write a conversion
tool, but I don't think anyone has done so.
More generally, I'm reluctant to load a journal after there have been any
code changes, since it's hard to know whether the transactions will replay
exactly the same as before. The usual recommendation is to take a snapshot
while the old code is running and then start the new system from that
snapshot without any journal files.
Could you say more about the problems you ran into with Prevayler 2.00.001?
What was the exception, exactly?
Cheers,
Justin
