I cannot find my ObjectDB odb file

I recently completed this tutorial,

http://www.objectdb.com/tutorial/jpa/eclipse/spring/run

It says the .odb file is created under the Tomcat directory, but I can't find the Tomcat directory. I did a search on my Mac OSX machine and could not find any .odb files. I searched my project and could not find it. I downloaded Tomcat a while ago and searched the folder which eclipse is pointing to. It has to exist somewhere because when I stop the tomcat server in eclipse and restart it the data comes back and persists.

Solution

  • You may specify a full path to your preferred ObjectDB database file path in step 2.

    Edit the property javax.persistence.jdbc.url in the persistence.xml file.

    Any path on your machine with appropriate permissions is a valid value.
