If more information is needed, feel free to ask.

This should be a classpath location:

alfresco/extension/exampleModel.xml

instead of:

C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\exampleModel.xml

Hi Jan

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately that makes no difference, the result is exactly the same.

When i run the .bat file i created, a 'alfresco.log' file is created in the same folder. But its empty, so not much help there…

Any other suggestions on what could be wrong?

Regards
Brian

Although I haven't tried this myself, it looks as if you also need to add the following to your classpath list:

C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes

If this still doesn't work, please let me know and I'll dig out a Windows machine (with Java 6 for the lib\* classpath wildcard) and try it out myself.

Thanks,
Jan

It works, thank you very much…

I first tried adding 'C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\*', as i thought you had forgotten the '\*' part. That didnt work…

It needs to be 'C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes'. 'C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\' wil also not work (in case anyone else is having the same problem).

Again, thank you for your help.

Hi,
I am ashamed to admit, I fail as well 😞

I use eclipse and start TestModel via "Run as" configuration.

location of my model
<classpath>alfresco/extension/model/mymodel.xml

My console output

Testing dictionary model definitions…
alfresco/model/dictionaryModel.xml
alfresco/model/systemModel.xml
org/alfresco/repo/security/authentication/userModel.xml
alfresco/model/contentModel.xml
alfresco/model/wcmModel.xml
alfresco/model/applicationModel.xml
alfresco/model/bpmModel.xml
alfresco/extension/model/mymodel.xml
Found an invalid model…
08160000 Could not find bootstrap model alfresco/extension/model/mymodel.xml

Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance
