[Babeldoc-devel] A few more questions

[<ek...@ba...>]

... though CERTAINLY not the end of my questions ... most of these
questions are based off of reading all the properties files inside of
babeldoc_core.jar, as this is my "starting point" ... so bear with me.

-- What is the "<pipeline>.type" if I want to get my configuration
information via JDBC (i.e. Not simple or xml, right?)

-- What is the function of "compile=yes|no" in
pipeline/compiler.properties?

-- If I want to use database journaling for Sybase, I realize that I
will need to create a new class (most likely named
com.babeldoc.sql.journal.SybaseJournal) and make an entry for it in the
journal/config.properties file, right?  Additionally, I will need to
create the file journal/sybase/config.properties.  My question is what
properties do I use in this file and what are the valid values?  Is it
just "resourceName=babel-journal"?

-- It appears that pipeline/config.properties contains entries for each
pipeline that is available.  If I am using JDBC to store my pipeline
configuration information, do I still need this file?  Is there a way to
represent this in the database?

-- I've noticed that the Primary Key for the CONFIG table is cfg_name,
which I believe represents a single "line" in a pipeline's
configuration, right?  If that is so, how do we distinguish between
configuration "lines" for different pipelines?  Should pipeline_id (or
something like this) also be part of the primary key for the CONFIG
table?

-- Do entries need to be made in service/query.properties for Journal
and PipelineStageFactory in order to support JDBC?  It appears that
there are already entries in there for "simple" and "xml".

-- From the "Source" and "Binary" installations that I did from
Babeldoc, I do not see directories for "config" files except for
multiple instances in the "src" subdirectories under each major
component (such as "core", "sql", etc.).  In a production / deployment
environment, what is the structure for the directory(ies) in which the
config files go?

I'm sorry if some of these questions seem ignorant ... I'm trying very
hard to get up-to-speed as quickly as possible as I have tight deadlines
to meet.
