[jira] [Created] (WOOKIE-391) Changing the default
widget.widgetfolder in widgetserver.properties can cause folder not found
issues
Paul Sharples created WOOKIE-391:
------------------------------------
Summary: Changing the default widget.widgetfolder in widgetserver.properties can cause folder not found issues
Key: WOOKIE-391
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-391
Project: Wookie
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Server
Reporter: Paul Sharples
Priority: Minor
If a user changes the default widget.widgetfolder to another location (such as the old wservices folder for example), then this can cause problems. If the folder does not already exist then wookie fails to import any widgets. Manually creating the folder fixes the problem. We should add a check to read the property first and then check if that folder is there, creating it if needed.

--------------------------------------
Code to catch it is already there in 'org.apache.wookie.server.Dianostics'. I'm not sure if we should try to create the folder here instead of just displaying a message when its not found.

-------------------------------------
+1 I think that would make sense.
The only reason you might not want to do this would be if there is a typo in the properties - for example you already do have a folder ready called "mywidgets" but typed "mywodgets" in widgetserver.properties. However, I think thats more of an edge case where the admin could revert it themselves to fix.
The other option is to make the behaviour configurable, but I don't think in this case that would really add much value.
