Re: [Exist-open] Java Admin Client - Credentials from file system?

[Michael J. <ube...@gm...>]

Hi Florian,

Here’s an example of how I do it:

https://gist.github.com/ubermichael/beff98fc0b939788c908ac75b149d35c

We have one .properties file for each eXistDB instance. The example defaults to using localhost, but using other hosts is quite easy: `ant -Dhost=foo fetch` will download all of the data from the host defined in foo.properties.

For your question, the store-reports ant target is probably the closest to what you’re trying to do.
