Description

Working dir

In RunNiFiRegistry.java, there is problematic logic deriving the default working dir. It assumes the bootstrap.conf file's parent's parent is the NiFi Registry home directory. The problem with this is that (1) the conf dir may be externalized and (2) everywhere else in the code uses the NIFI_REGISTRY_HOME env variable. Lastly, the property that can be used to override this default with an explicit location, working.dir= is not in the template bootstrap.conf with documentation for how it works.

This should be corrected.

Docs dir

The location of the NiFi Registry docs dir is a hardcoded relative path at JettyServer.java#L376.

The other directories the are relevant to the NiFi Registry runtime environment are externally configurable via properties and environment variables.

This should be modified to allow for overriding the docs directory location. It can still default to the current (hardcoded, unchangeable) location if an override is not specified explicitly.
