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?

> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> 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.
