I’m pretty excited to see this, but the first time I tried to start OpenMRS with this module, I got an error:

Caused by: javax.servlet.ServletException: FileServlet init param ‘basePath’ is required.

Peeking at the code it seems to me that before starting the module I have to manually set the owa.appFolderPath global property. Is this right? Can’t we set this by default to a folder like /owa in the OpenMRS application directory?

Full error on pastebin.

I have replicated the issue. We are setting default value for appFolderPath variable but not on startup of module. I have created this issue in GitHub:

I will make change and commit.
