Sébastien Launay reassigned JCR-2421:
-------------------------------------

    Assignee: Sébastien Launay

The 'jackrabbit/tmp' directory is created by the JcrRemotingServlet servlet from jackrabbit-jcr-server component at servlet init.
But the Installer class from jackrabbit-webapp test if the repository home already exists before creating it and is by default 'jackrabbit'.

So, I see three solutions here:
* use a different home directory in JcrRemotingServlet servlet but this will not be backward compatible as we change default settings
* use a different home directory in Installer but this will not be backward compatible as we change default settings
* check if a specific file/folder exists (like REPO_HOME/repository) instead of checking the whole repository home directory.

I think the last one is the less intrusive.

WDYT?

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: jackrabbit-standalone, jackrabbit-webapp
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta1, 2.0-beta3
>         Environment: Jetty 6.1.18 / Sun JDK 1.6.0_14-b08 / Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04

> I mount the jackrabbit-webapp.war in a Jetty installation
> * at startup i have the following exception:
> ERROR RepositoryStartupServlet: Either create thejackrabbit/bootstrap.properties file or
> ERROR RepositoryStartupServlet: use the '/config/index.jsp' for easy configuration.
> ERROR RepositoryStartupServlet: RepositoryStartupServlet initializing failed: javax.servlet.ServletException: Repository startup configuration is not valid.
> * then when i access http://localhost:8080/ i am forwarded to the page:
>  http://localhost:8080/bootstrap/missing.jsp
> * creating the repository by clicking on "Create Content Repository" button fails complaining that the jackrabbit directory already exists
> Indeed, i find a jackrabbit directory in my JETTY_HOME (from where is started Jetty).
> A workaround is to delete this "jackrabbit" directory and then i can create the repository by clicking on the previous button and therefore access the newly created repository.
