Base1PluginExecuter option enhancements

[base]

(using BASE 2.1 (2847) on Solaris 10 / Tomcat 5.5.17 / JDK 1.5.0_08)

Some of our BASE 1 plugins generate several files (images etc), all connected through an index html file generated by the plugin. Base1PluginExecuter by default moves these files to the flat namespace of the uploads directory, making it impossible for the index file to use these files. For use with these legacy plugins, it would be nice if Base1PluginExecuter:

• offered an option to retain the ExecDirectory used (in db.uploads or elsewhere)
• used a customizable directory instead of the system tmp.dir

i.e. something similar to the BASE 1 "jobs" directory hierarchy.

The Base1PluginExecuter already keeps the directory structure as generated by the plugin on the BASE file system. The internal location of the files are not kept and that is intentional.

I realise this - all I wanted was the option to retain the temporary files and directory structure (outside of $userfiles) and also specify the location (e.g. for use by other services).

Now, fixing ticket #433 removes our immediate need for this (the filemanager automagically rewrites relative links for internal objects - sweet!), so never mind... :-)
