Hello
Is it possible to add multiple paths to GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR in web.xml so that GeoServer would point to multiple locations?
Regards,
Ammar
Hi Ammar,
It depends on why you want to do this.
I believe that the GeoServer configuration stuff should all be in the same location; if it’s not then Bad Things ™ will happen (namely GeoServer will likely get unreliable).
However, if you want to put your raw data (i.e. shapefiles, geoTiffs etc) somewhere other than in the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR, this is perfectly possible and doesn’t need any configuration in web.xml. Place them wherever you want and point to them when creating a new store.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Ammar it is technically possible to do this at the coding level (when embedding GeoServer into a larger J2EE application).
However … I just finished removing this unused functionality on master (since it just added complexity and there was way for non developers to use the functionality).
It is fairly common to have one GEOSERVER_DATA_DIRECTORY (to manage your configuration) and a separate folder for all your spatial data. To set this up you end up with absolute paths when configuring stores. This is a good setup as you can quickly backup your geoserver configuration.
There are also a few extra environmental variable that control things like the GeoWebCache “cache” location, so these folders can be placed beside the geoserver data directory (and thus not backed up).
