What Alfresco version are you using?

Are you using the dynamic deploy? Did you read https://github.com/frederikheremans/alfresco-share-modules-refresh ?

I'm using Alfresco Community 4.2f and yes, I didn't read ….

After reading the article, I did all the steps but I got an error from Tomcat

Do you think this is needed? Is it not enough to restart alfresco server?

thanks for your help, be patient with Newbies 🙂

Hi, how did you fix this? I'm having troubling in running the github hack. If I do the steps, my Share stops working giving:

"CannotLoadBeanClassException: Error loading class [org.al…] for bean with name 'webscript.module-deployments-reload.get' defined in file [/opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/redeploy-modules-share-context.xml]: problem with class file or dependent class; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/spring….

can you guys, expand the instruction in the github in a more defined manner? I may be doing something wrong.

The hack is what is is -> a hack . Probabily it uses a configuration feature/class in share which is no longer supported, hence the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

Can you share the full stacktrace, so we know the offending class?

My problem was that the Share Reload Webscript URL in the Eclipse->Preferences->Kickstart Settings didn't work..
if you copy the URL in a browser it should give you back a simple string that says that the Reload works correctly.
my setting is http://192.168.1.239:8080/share/service/reload-module-deployments, you should change the server IP address.

I tried many times to make the GITHUB hack works. at the end, following step by step the instructions (my server is a Virtual Server so I rolled back the initial snapshot everytime) the system worked. If something is wrong the entire Alfresco Share doesn't work anymore..

Be patient and try it again…

Adding the webscript to share should be done the same as with any other
custom webscripts. To get started quick, you can find a simple guide to add
the webscript, using the tomcat 'shared' folder.
1.Add the 'reload-modules.jar' file to the classpath of the Share-webapp
(eg. WEB-INF/lib)
2.Make sure the 'shared' folder is added to the shared loader of your tomcat
container (see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Install_Tomcat6, or
alternatively, just use the real WEB-INF/classes folder)
3.Make sure the folder '$tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension'
exists.
4.Copy all files in 'share-artifacts' folder to the web-extensions folder.
5.Add (or modify if you already have one) the share-config-custom.xml file
in the web-extensions folder and add the folowing line to the
'Web-Framework' config evaluator:
<enable-dynamic-extension-modules>true</enable-dynamic-extension-modules> .
6.Also, alter the module-deployment mode configuration in the same
'Web-Framework' config evaluator:
      <mode>auto</mode>
      <enable-auto-deploy-modules>true</enable-auto-deploy-modules>
   </module-deployment>….

Diventa
           <mode>auto</mode>
           <enable-auto-deploy-modules>true</enable-auto-deploy-modules>

<enable-dynamic-extension-modules>true</enable-dynamic-extension-mo$
        </module-deployment>

then from the shell
export tomcat="/opt/alfresco-4.2.f/tomcat/"

Hello.
I have same problem with forms
http://localhost:8080/share/service/reload-module-deployments returns "Refreshed all internal caches" so I think reload script works.

What am I doing wrong?
May be I have to try to deploy manually? But I can't find info where to deploy files created by Kickstart.
Please, help.

it's not that trivial, see http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/concepts/forms-intro.html

I have same problem.

I was following step by step from this tutorial: http://stacktrace.be/blog/2014/01/rapid-alfresco-workflow-development-with-activiti-kickstart/

Also I am using dynamic deploy from https://github.com/frederikheremans/alfresco-share-modules-refresh. On the github.come is written "start the share tomcat". It can be original tomcat configured with Alfresco or it must be share tomcat (http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/tasks/share-tomcat-deploy.html)?

http://localhost:8080/share/service/reload-module-deployments returns "Refreshed all internal caches" but the form displayed is a mix between the form I designed and a standard workflow form. In the kickstart I have fieldname "Name" but Alfresco show hire:name (filename:fieldname).

I read http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/concepts/forms-intro.html but according to this page for each workflow procces i should confiure manually.

Please, help

Difficult to say anything without more details. Please provide more information about your process and forms.

Hi,

I am creating aspects dynamically, and for the UI form change I am adding the visibility as following

share-config-custom.xml:
        < visible >
            <aspect name="ct:newaspect" />
         </visible>
          ……………………
           <config evaluator="node-type" condition="cm:content">
            <forms>
    <form>
    <field-visibility>
       <show id="ct:newfield" />
    </field-visibility>
    </form>
    <form id="doclib-simple-metadata">
    <field-visibility>
       <show id="ct:newfield" />
    </field-visibility>
    </form>
    <form id="doclib-inline-edit">
    <field-visibility>
       <show id="ct:newfield" />
    </field-visibility>
    </form>
   </forms>
</code>

Now, I am trying to get these UI changes dynamically without restarting tomcat.

Is it possible through https://github.com/frederikheremans/alfresco-share-modules-refresh ?

Because I added and tried this, when I access this URl http://localhost:8081/share/service/reload-module-deployments after my change
It is responding with the msg "webscript is deployed successfuly"… But the values in UI "Manage Aspect" did not have the change..

But however after tomcat restart, Ui got the changes.
Thanks,

Not sure, that module has not been maintained for a long while … so no idea if it still works.

bluvent — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 09:31:09 GMT

I was doing the same steps, but got error " CmisRuntimeException: null "

Any ideas ?
