I want to create a new Wowza application from jconsole.
From VHost Bean I call the createApplication operation, but it fails.
am I wrong with this?
Here are my parameters:
createApplication (“vod”, “default”, “/mnt/content/”);
Thanks
Marco.

There is no template file under the conf folder, you can copy conf/Application.xml to conf folder and named it to “template-Application.xml”.

This api was never completed. So it does not work properly. It will most likely be removed in the next release of the sever.

Should be able to do with with the [java.io](http://java.io) API
Create two folders, and copy Application.xml

You do have to create at least the emtpy /applications/[app-name] folder to create a new application ([app-name])

Is there any way to create an application remotely through the API? or I have to write my own java class?

Got it.
Just how to set the writing permission? I tried createapplication(). It failed due to lack of writing permission.
