[Opensim-users] Some questions about inventory libraries

[Impalah]

Hi everybody, here comes Impalah again with some bizarre questions.

Before... about a question I did some weeks ago when I had "problems" with
avatar crossing regions: it's resolved at 90% from my part (ugaim) just
changing the (superslow) framework I was using to another; anyway the
requests made to ugaim from region servers (get inventory, get maps, get
something I can't remember now) aren't concurrent, at least running over
.NET vm (I have tested it in five different machines with win XP). I'll
return to those things when I finish the project I'm working on.

Well, my questions, overall are for who implemented Inventory Libs and all
the things around.

When an avatar logs in, apart from the "personal inventory skeleton", the
user server sends a "inventory library skeleton" too. Opensim.Grid.User uses
the object InventoryLib (excuse me if the names are wrong, I haven't access
to the code right now) which reads the xml's from the "inventory" folder.

Ok, so an user server needs these xml files isn't it? At least for returning
the skeleton.

Well, but where is stored the inventory library? I suppose, because I
couldn't find any persistent storage for inventory library folders/items,
that the Opensim (region) server loads the xml files when it starts and,
when the viewer asks for inventory, it returns the contents of the xml's.

The problem is if I have several region servers, any of them with distinct
inventory libraries (folders and items). I have checked that if I return in
login, for example, only two of the inventory lib folders, the opensim
viewer will only show me these 2 folders, ignoring the rest of the
"inventory xmls" defined.

So if I pretend to distribute and control the inventory library from the
ugaim servers I have to copy the xmls to all the region servers who connect
to my grid... right?

I don't know if this is an error (I think the inventory library must be
requested from region servers to ugaim servers) or some kind of "feature",
or if exists any reason for doing the things that way.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you
