    (additional policy subdirectories)

Please note, if you are using version 0.3 of OODT or earlier, the policy directory will look like this (with no subdirectories):

└── policy
    ├── elements.xml
    ├── product-type-element-map.xml
    └── product-types.xml

Here is a brief description of each directory that you see listed:

...

org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.catalog.lucene.idxPath=/usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/catalog
org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.repositorymgr.dirs=file:///usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/policy/core
org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.validation.dirs=file:///usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/policy/core
org.apache.oodt.cas.filemgr.mime.type.repository=/usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/etc/mime-types.xml

...

Server side metadata is generated by using java classes and the extractors that will be used are configured in the product-types.xml file in the chosen policy directory. You For this example configuration, you should have /usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/policy/core as the policy directory, unless you're running version 0.3 or earlier of OODT, in which case you should have /usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/policy as the policy directory.

Now would be a good time to have a quick look at the product-types.xml file. It contains some critical information about what is going to happen when we ingest our first file into the repository.

If you're feeling curious, check out the other xml files in the /usr/local/oodt/cas-filemgr/policy/ directory subdirectories to get a better feel for how we define product types and elements.
