Use this to get folder if it does exists or create if not:<br /><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New"> try {<br /> folder = DLFolderLocalServiceUtil.getFolder(<br /> groupId, parentFolderId, folderName);<br /> } catch(NoSuchFolderException e) {<br /> _log.info(&#34;Folder &#39;&#34; + folderName + &#34;&#39; for groupId: &#34; + groupId + &#34; does not exists. Creating...&#34;);<br /> try {<br /> folder = DLFolderLocalServiceUtil.addFolder(this.getUserId(), groupId, this.getRepositoryId(groupId), <br /> false, parentFolderId, folderName, folderName, this.getServiceContext());<br /> } catch(PortalException e2) {<br /> throw new PortalException(&#34;Error while creating &#39;&#34; + folderName + <br /> &#34;&#39; folder for groupId: &#34; + groupId + &#34;, parentFolderId: &#34; + parentFolderId, e2);<br /> }<br /> }</span><br /><br />parentFolderId in case of ROOT folder is 0.<br /><br />Regards,<br />KG

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

Hi sudheer,<br /><br />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&#39;t document library portlet.<br /><br />Best,<br />Anna

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

my Requirement is:<br /> Adding Parent folders, Child folders and Their files to Document and Library from Particular location.<br /><br />Case-1: If Folder is already exists then get that id and add file <br /><br />( Here I am using <br />addFileEntry(repositoryId, folderId,sourceFileName, mimeType, title, description, changeLog, is, size, serviceContext) of DLAppServiceUtil class ).<br /><br />Case-2: If Folder is not exits add folder then add file <br /><br />(Here I am using for adding folder <br />addFolder() method of DLAppServiceUtil class)
