 Description   

Description

If Alfresco 4.1.1 has IMAP enabled with default settings and an upgrade is performed to 4.1.2 the subsystem will not start anymore due to the exception "Existing file or folder Imap Attachments already exists" or "Existing file or folder Imap Home already exists". Customer sees the Imap Home issue and I got at reprodcution the Imap Attachment one

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup Alfresco 4.1.1 and enable IMAP with the default values
2. Upgrade to 4.1.2 and check the log for IMAP subsystem is not starting

Expected Behaviour

Subsystem should start

Observed Behaviour

As part of ALF-15700 , the RepositoryFolderConfigBean was changed to address folders by QName rather than name.

The attachmnents folder was amended:
imap.attachments.folder.folderPath=${spaces.imap_attachments.childname}
spaces.imap_attachments.childname=cm:Imap Attachments

But the imap home was not.

One fix is just to change repository.properties :

  • imap.config.home.folderPath=Imap Home
    + imap.config.home.folderPath=cm:Imap Home

This will also need to be passed to documentation to document that

  • if a customer on 4.1.1 or earlier has explicitly set
    imap.config.home.folderPath=
    or
    imap.attachments.folder.folderPath
    in alfresco-global.properties, then they will need to change it to the QName in order to be able to upgrade.

Can we change the repository.properties so that it works by default?

Comment by Derek Hulley [X] (Inactive) [ 12-Feb-13 ]

I think that the compensating action (as proposed in the diff file) is not safe as it will allow the bug to persist in cases where people have the property overridden. Instead, just fix the default repository.properties - this will cover most of the systems, I suspect - and a documentation process will have to follow for the rest.
