Hi Michele

Have a look at those provided in the Alfresco distribution, ex. tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/bootstrap .

Otherwise, use tools like :
ACP Generator http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/acpgenerator/
Talend ETL + Alfresco ETL Connector (though doesn't work on 3.1+) http://knowledge.openwide.fr/Main/AlfrescoETLConnector http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/etlconnector/

Marc

Please note that the bulk filesystem importer [1] doesn't use the ACP format by default. Instead it reads files and folders directly off disk, with metadata stored in "shadow" metadata files (the exact mechanism for this is pluggable, but so far all I've had time to implement is a basic metadata loader that reads Java properties files). More information on the properties format is available in the readme, at [2].

Cheers,
Peter
