Creating folders in the root directory fails in Alfresco

[mikeblum]

TL;DR: can we create root folders in alfresco?

Using a call like this:

ContentResult folderResult = OCUtil.findOrCreateFolderByPath(ticket, "/test-folder", OCConstants.OBJECT_TYPE_FOLDER);

We run into an issue creating a folder in the root of the repository and get this trace:

Not sure either. I don't know the AlfrescoEmb APIs that well. Any other thoughts @cmlewis?

[cmlewis]

@dgrumieaux is correct, the root folder located at '/' is the system root that only Alfresco-generated things go into. The root we use MUST be /Company Home (/app:company_home)

Keeping this open as an outstanding inquiry. Workaround for now is loading the folders you want in the root directory as an ACP and deploying that.
