It's preferable to use org.alfresco.util.ApplicationContextHelper.getApplicationContext() (http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/org/alfresco/util/ApplicationContextHelper.html#getApplicationContext()) to obtain the Alfresco app context in an embedded context, since it hides a lot of those low level details about where Alfresco bean definitions can reside and how they can be (safely) overridden.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,
i followed what you told me, and now i have this exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [alfresco/application-context.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [alfresco/application-context.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [alfresco/application-context.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist

MY CODE IS VERY SIMPLE, I POSTED IT BELOW:

public class TestEmbedded {

   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
      EsiCmsUtility obj1 = new EsiCmsUtility();
      //AbstractLoginResult alr;
      try{

         ApplicationContext ac = ApplicationContextHelper.getApplicationContext(); <–HERE I HAVE THE EXCEPTION
         //System.out.println("Context obtained");
         //alr = obj1.login("admin", "admin");

      }catch(Exception err)
      {
         err.printStackTrace();
      }
   }

}

This suggests that the classpath of the program is incomplete, since the main application-context.xml file is part of the Alfresco repository package (which contains the core repository functionality).

I'd suggest taking a look at how the "SDK FirstFoundationClient" Eclipse project is configured, and then configure your project the same way. The FirstFoundationClient is a fully worked, functional example of how to develop against an embedded Alfresco repository. More details on how to obtain this sample and configure your Eclipse environment to support building / running it are available at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SVN_Development_Environment#Eclipse_Projects.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,
i have imported all references to jar files and other useful files following alfresco embedded sdk project, and now i have the exception posted below:

java.lang.NullPointerException
   at org.alfresco.util.RuntimeSystemPropertiesSetter.postProcessBeanFactory(RuntimeSystemPropertiesSetter.java:68)
   at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.invokeBeanFactoryPostProcessors(AbstractApplicationContext.java:414)

   at it.saga.egov.esi.cms.utility.TestEmbedded.main(TestEmbedded.java:19)
————————————————————————————————————————————————–

I READ SOME TOPICS AND I SEE THAT PROBABLY IT IS A PROBLEM WITH "alfresco-jmxrmi.access" AND "alfresco-jmxrmi.password" FILES.
WHAT I CAN DO NOW? CAN YOU SUGGEST ME SOMETHING?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi,
I Have solved the problem! it was only because i used wrong jar file!

Using jar file given with sdk ( all alfresco jars, config jars and all dependences given in alfresco embedded sdk project) the problem is solved.
Now i can obtain the applicationContext. And now i try to implement some methods on alfresco embedded.
