# VOSpace REST service

## Database

This VOSpace implementation uses the database populated by the [VOSpace Transfer Service application](https://www.ict.inaf.it/gitlab/ia2/vospace-transfer-service). To avoid duplicating database definitions, DAO test classes load the database directly from the files of that repository. We assume that when running the tests the git repository exists and it is located in the same parent folder containing this repository. We could decide to create a dedicate common repository for sharing only the database structure and configuration files between the 2 projects.

To reconfigure the path of that repository edit the property `init_database_scripts_path` in test.properties.
