Hello,
I had a Problem using FileInstall 2.0.0 (I recently upgraded my
project from 1.2.0
While writing this mail I found the solution, which I now want to share.
I configure fileisntall when i configure my embedded felix : (in java
code embedded)
("felix.fileinstall.dir", absNewBundle);
("felix.fileinstall.debug", "1");
("felix.fileinstall.poll", "3000");
this worked until using version 2.0.0
Version 2.0.0 tries to create a folder ./tmp and then proclaims about
not beeing able to create that folder. This leads fileinstall not to
work. (see error message at bottom)
On googleing I found this page;
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/felix-commits/200909.mbox/%3c1324519852.4906.1252930140018.javamail.www-d...@brutus%3e
Here a property I never have seen before is mentioned:
...
<td class='confluenceTd'><tt>felix.fileinstall.tmpdir</tt></td>
<td class='confluenceTd'>./tmp</td>
<td class='confluenceTd'>The name of the temporary directory to use
with exploded or
transformed bundles</td>
</tr>
Then I found this in standard message, which showed me the solution:
09-15 17:25:21.316: INFO/System.out(12502): {felix.fileinstall.poll
(ms) = 3000, felix.fileinstall.dir = /data/data/de.mnsoft.felixhostapp/
files/felix/newbundles, felix.fileinstall.debug = 1,
felix.fileinstall.bundles.new.start = true, felix.fileinstall.tmpdir
= ./tmp, felix.fileinstall.filter = null}
I may have overseen it, but when upgrading I checked the properties on
fileinstalls webpage, and it wasn't mentioned there that this important
key exists. It would be nice (if not already happend) if this would be
somehow mentioned in all fileinstall docs on the apache felix sites.
