Hi Ricardo,
In my case we would like that all pages are stored in the filesystem, of
course attached content must be in filesystem, in the database only the
structure of the wiki. Is that possible?
It is possible if you write your own storage implementation, derived
from the current implementations.
I think the easiest step is to implement file-based storage only for
attachments, and this has already been done by some of our users.
Searching the mail archives should provide some pointers.
Next, if you just want to access documents from a folder, you can use
WebDAV for that. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Features/WebDAV
I don.t think that actually storing the contents of the documents
outside the database helps, since wiki content should never reach the
limits of the database (unless you're storing genomes or data out of the
LHC as wiki content). The main advantage of the database is speed. The
main advantage of filesystems, easy access from other programs, can be
achieved through WebDAV.
