The following example defines two file stores, in addition to the standard default file store. By setting the cm:storeName property to either of these new stores or the default store, the content is automatically moved from its existing store to the relevant new store.

  1. Create a sample-content-store-selector-context.xml file in the <extension> directory.
  2. Define the new file stores by adding the following bean definitions:
     <beanid="firstSharedFileContentStore"class="org.alfresco.repo.content.filestore.FileContentStore">
        <constructor-arg>
           <value>${dir.root}/storeA</value>
        </constructor-arg>
     </bean>
     <bean id="secondSharedFileContentStore" class="org.alfresco.repo.content.filestore.FileContentStore">
        <constructor-arg>
           <value>${dir.root}/storeB</value>
        </constructor-arg>
     </bean>
    

    This configuration snippet defines two new stores. The physical location is relative to the dir.root property defined in the alfresco-global.properties file.

  3. Declare the storeSelectorContentStore to be the primary content store by adding the following bean definition:
     <beanid="contentService"parent="baseContentService">
        <property name="store">
            <ref bean="storeSelectorContentStore" />
        </property>
     </bean>
    					
  4. Declare the mapping between store names and store instances.
     <beanid="storeSelectorContentStore"parent="storeSelectorContentStoreBase">
            <property name="defaultStoreName">
                 <value>default</value>
            </property>
            <property name="storesByName">
                <map>
                    <entry key="default">
                        <ref bean="fileContentStore" />
                    </entry>
                    <entry key="storeA">
                        <ref bean="firstSharedFileContentStore" />
                    </entry>
                    <entry key="storeB">
                        <ref bean="secondSharedFileContentStore" />
                    </entry>
               </map>
            </property>
        </bean>
    

    The list of stores is defined by the <property name="storesByName"> property. Any stores you want to be available to the storeSelectorContentStore should be listed under this property.

  5. Add the extra stores to the list to be handled by the eagerContentStoreCleaner.
