Hi Saminda,
You can do this easily by writing another Handler and make sure you call
this handler after AppDescriptorCheckHandler. You can have properties in
your handler configuration and read those properties and configure
different hosts with different base directory locations. So your handler
configuration could looks like this.
<InHandlers>
<Handler
class="org.apache.airavata.gfac.handler. AppDescriptorCheckHandler"/>
*<Handler
class="org.apache.airavata.gfac.handler.BaseDirectorySetupHandler">*
* <property name="trestles"
value="/home/trestles/base-directory"/>*
* </Handler>*
</InHandlers>
With handler properties you do not have to hard-code the host specific
directories or create another configuration file.
Hope this helps !
Regards
Lahiru
