Inizialize User and Categories

Geostore provide 2 xml files for specifiy the Categories and the Users used for the initialization. At startup, if there isn't any Categories or Users to load, Geostore search the files sample_categories.xml and sample_users.xml and save the data into DB.

the format of both two XML files is simple; see the examples below:

Categories:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<CategoryList>
    <Category>
        <name>cat1</name>
    </Category>
    <Category>
        <name>cat2</name>
    </Category>
</CategoryList>

Users:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<InitUserList>
    <User>
        <name>admin</name>
        <newPassword>admin</newPassword>
        <role>ADMIN</role>
    </User>
    <User>
        <name>user</name>
        <newPassword>user</newPassword>
        <role>USER</role>
    </User>
</InitUserList>

Where geostore search for these 2 files?

Inside geostore-datasource-ovr.properties (module geostore-webapp) there are some properties for specify where geostore look for the initialization files. For each file you have to set the property geostoreInitializer.categoryListInitFile and geostoreInitializer.userListInitFile and there are 2 possibility, only one can be used:

• classpath:.xml if you want put your custom file in the classpath.
• file://<path/to/your/file> if you want to reference a file somewhere in the filesystem.

By default geostore search in the classpath.
