Description

The FileEntityStore is using the FileConfig library to create a directory to store the entities in.

The FileConfig defines those as

MAC;

{user}/Library/Application Support/{application}
Linux; {user}

/.

{application}/data
Windows; {user}/Application Data/{application}

/data

The FileEntityStore then appends the identity of the FileEntityStore, and a static "data/" location after that. The identity is to ensure that multiple FileEntityStores can be used nicely together, but the data is IMHO unnecessary and should be removed.

Now, IF a configuration is provided to FileEntityStore, then the above location is the root path. If no configuration is given at all, then System.getProperty( "user.dir" ) + "/qi4j/filestore/" is used as root path.

The root path is used as the location for any relative paths specified in the configuration, but can be completely overridden with an absolute path..
