my Requirement is:
Adding Parent folders, Child folders and Their files to Document and Library from Particular location.

Case-1: If Folder is already exists then get that id and add file

( Here I am using
addFileEntry(repositoryId, folderId,sourceFileName, mimeType, title, description, changeLog, is, size, serviceContext) of DLAppServiceUtil class ).

Case-2: If Folder is not exits add folder then add file

(Here I am using for adding folder
addFolder() method of DLAppServiceUtil class)

This is Out of Box functionality available , once you click on any folder it will show option to add Subfolder in it.

Hi sudheer,

Which version of Liferay you are using? I can add Subfolder by clicking on the Action button in Document Library portlet in 6.0.12 and I can add subfolder as well in 6.1.20 but there isn't document library portlet.

Best,
Anna

Use this to get folder if it does exists or create if not:

try {
folder = DLFolderLocalServiceUtil.getFolder(
groupId, parentFolderId, folderName);
} catch(NoSuchFolderException e) {
_log.info("Folder '" + folderName + "' for groupId: " + groupId + " does not exists. Creating...");
try {
folder = DLFolderLocalServiceUtil.addFolder(this.getUserId(), groupId, this.getRepositoryId(groupId),
false, parentFolderId, folderName, folderName, this.getServiceContext());
} catch(PortalException e2) {
throw new PortalException("Error while creating '" + folderName +
"' folder for groupId: " + groupId + ", parentFolderId: " + parentFolderId, e2);
}
}

parentFolderId in case of ROOT folder is 0.

Regards,
KG

Out of Box means default functionality of Liferay. Liferay itself provide this functions by default.
