Mandatory ORIENTDB_HOME and ORIENTDB_DIR

I am begining to work with ORIENTDB and I have the following question.

Is it mandatory to set both environment variables? I was hoping to work with the studio without them, just setting the XML with my own environment variables.

Is there anyway to use custom variables programatically in my Java program?

Regards.

Solution

  • I finally understood what is missing.

    When the "OServerPluginManager" is at startup, it uses the ORIENTDB_HOME setted + "plugins" to check the directory and register the plugins.

    But between setting the plugin directory using the environment variable and registering the plugins, there is a overriding of properties checking the Server Property "plugin.directory".

    So adding the property at server level with the directory where the plugins are will fix the problem.
