location of web-client-custom,xml

Hi all,I'm trying to figure out the web-client-custom.xml issue.Is it necessary to include web-client-custom.xml file within a jar file of a custom dialog, if so where (in META-INF or exension folders)?Can anyone explain why we cannot add all extentions to the web-client in tomcat\shared\classes\a

Are you referring to "web-client-config-custom.xml" file? If so, that file should exist or be placed in "alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension" folder. Regarding your other questions you should provide more information, what are you trying to do.

Thank you,

After a lot of trial and error I came to the conclusion that the only place to put the web-client-config-custom is in alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension exactly as you wrote.
The thing that misled me before, is the instructions in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Packaging_And_Deploying_Extensions that shows the required structure of the jar file as follows:

> custom-dialog.jar
          > alfresco
            > extension
               > web-client-config-custom.xml       
            > META-INF
            > faces-config.xml
            > MANIFEST.MF
         > org  
            > alfresco
               > sample
                  > AddAspectDialog.class
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

From that I concluded that there must be a web-client-config-custom.xml within the jar file of the custom dialog and this had not worked properly in case of few jar files each with another custom dialog
