Description

Steps to generate error -

• Content -> DataResource -> Create New

Case 1 -

• Create a data resource of type '*_FILE' and remain objectInfo field empty.
• Then go to upload tab, here getting an error in the file preview section - "java.lang.NullPointerException".
• Browse and upload a file.

• It throws an error -
  "Error in Service [persistContentAndAssoc]: org.ofbiz.service.GenericServiceException: Service [updateFile] target threw an unexpected exception (null)".

Case 2 -

• While creating a data resource with non-empty objectInfo field.
• Then go to upload tab, here getting an error in the file preview section - "org.ofbiz.webapp.view.ViewHandlerException: No file found".
• Browse and upload a file.

• It throws an error -
  "Error in Service [updateFile]: Unable to open file for writing: /home/.../xyz.pdf".

on upload, 'persistContentAndAssoc' service called which calls 'persistDataResourceAndDataMethod'. This method then call 'createFile' or 'updateFile' services after checking that data resource is already existed or newly created. While the screen flow in OFBiz CMS is such that, you will get an upload tab(to upload files) only after the creation of data resource. And in this case 'updateFile' service called and gives error.

• Found that 'createFile' service also gives error -
  "Error in Service [createFile]: Unable to obtain a reference to file".

The reason, I have found is that both services 'createFile' and 'updateFile' gets the path as per the objectInfo specified, and then create/update a file at that location. While creating a new data resource, how can anybody specify the location at which file will place after uploading?
