SlingshotUserFactory.java changed?

jriker1 — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:09:50 GMT

I have downloaded the latest head version and was implementing my customizations that were done in prior versions. All went well until I tried to compile. It contained messages like: ….site\SlingshotUserFactory.java:114: cannot find symbol [javac] symbol : variable CM_DIVISION [javac] loca

SVN HEAD is a bit unstable at the moment due to the big SURF changes. Try again in a day or two.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Mike. I didn't get the latest head version since I noticed it reference temporarily merging to head. Went for the head version right before it. Revision I'm using is 17879 if it matters. If you think it's safer to go back some revisions let me know which revision to pull else I'll wait.

Thanks.

HEAD just passed all the unit tests on the build machine, so try grabbing it again now.

Cheers,

Thanks Mike. Note my build was fine without the modification I listed at the start of this thread. It was just when I added this to the file it was complaining. This is the same customization I did in 3.2 so not sure if the method to add a new attribute to a user has changed since then and this won't work however will go thru and implement my customizations again to see.

Latest head seems broken. If I download the head I get 45415 files. My prior download a moth or so ago gave me 63225 files.

Was that prior to the removal of Surf, and the Web Studio Projects?

Re: SlingshotUserFactory.java changed?

Web Studio, Webscript Framework and Web Framework projects are all now part of Spring Surf.

The build machine does a clean svn checkout and build, so the number of files is probably correct.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Mike. What revision should the latest head version be? Also I couldn't find for example AlfrescoUserFactory.java in my last dump which I have modified in the past to add attributes to a user such as their employee number pulled from the AD.

Also noticed in ScriptUser.java that items like:

    public void setInstantMsg(String value)
    {
        this.user.setInstantMsg(value);
    }

are no longer in there where I also used to add changes for adding a new attribute to user.

Thanks.

Any updates on how to add an attribute to the user? Below are changes that were made that I noticed:

AlfrescoUserFactory.java is gone
ScriptUser.java doesn't seem to store most of the set and get functions anymore
user.java doesn't seem to store the prop's directly or have the set and get functions either

What I normally did:

Add cm: values to contentModel.xml

Add QName values to ContentModel.java

Added the appropriate labels in slingshot.properties

Added one of my attributes to the div in my-profile.get.html.ftl so it shows

Added appropriate entries in userprofile.get.html.ftl

In the SlingshotUserFactory.java added the appropriate writer.WriteValue get entries

Added get and set values for the new attributes in ScriptUser.java

Added CM_ references to the http string in AlfrescoUserFactory.java

In User.java added PROP_ static strings and get/set functions

I can still do this except for the items I listed are missing or look like the method of implementing things has changed. Any thoughts on how to implement adding an attribute to a user profile in the current release?

Looking thru the code and using InstantMsg as an example. I find the following files need to be edited to add a new attribute. Can anyone comfirm?

root/projects/remote-api/config/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/repository/person/person.lib.ftl"
root/projects/repository/config/alfresco/model/contentModel.xml
root/projects/repository/source/java/org/alfresco/model/ContentModel.java
root/projects/slingshot/config/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/console/users.get.html.ftl
root/projects/slingshot/config/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/dashlets/my-profile.get.html.ftl
root/projects/slingshot/config/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/profile/userprofile.get.html.ftl
root/projects/slingshot/source/java/org/alfresco/web/site/SlingshotUserFactory.java
root/projects/slingshot/source/web/components/console/users.js
root/projects/slingshot/source/web/components/profile/profile.js
Thanks.

Tried using my new theory but same deal.

    [javac] symbol : variable CM_DIVISION
    [javac] location: class org.alfresco.web.site.SlingshotUserFactory
    [javac]             writer.writeValue(CM_DIVISION, user.getDivision());
    [javac]                               ^
    [javac] C:\Users\yarbrsr\workspace\Alfresco3.2r2\projects\slingshot\source\java\org\alfresco\web\site\SlingshotUserFactory.java:117: cannot find symbol
    [javac] symbol : method getDivision()
    [javac] location: class org.springframework.extensions.surf.site.AlfrescoUser
    [javac]             writer.writeValue(CM_DIVISION, user.getDivision());

There is a reference to

writer.writeValue(CM_INSTANTMSG, user.getInstantMsg());

and anywhere that InstantMsg or instantmsg is referenced in the source code I have injected similar code for Division or division but it still complains it can't be found. What am I missing here?

Thanks.

It's "Bueller" :wink:

Sorry, I'm not currently up-to-speed with the Spring 3/SURF changes on HEAD and exactly what that implies for customizations yet. I suspect there might be some new override mechanisms you have to put in place for the code that's moved to the Spring 3 jars, but that's a complete guess at the moment.

I did figure it out, the challenge is the java files were stored in JAR files which eclipse wasn't searching. Wasn't there in the prior head versions I retrieved. Now I need to figure out how to recompile java files in the jar and save all the class files in a new JAR file which looks like what is being done in the code today. The ANT script doesn't seem to facilitate this.

Thanks.
