A few answers here:

First, you can override the bootstrap sequence by providing your own xx-context.xml in the extensions folder. Within that file, provide your own definition of the bean with id 'spacesBootstrap'.

Second, a template space is just like any other space, except it lives in the Data Dictionary folder. So, if you want to create a template space, just create a Space as usual in the Web Client and decorate it with rules etc. You can then just move or copy that Space into the appropriatet Data Dictionary folder. Or, you can export it to an .acp file, which can then be used in the bootstrap process by placing the .acp in the extension folder and referring to it in the 'spacesBootstrap' bean.

Hi David,

Thanks for your valuable reply.

Now i have created a template using 'Advanced Space Wizard'

The created template is like the one given below, for this i logged as admin


                         Project
                             |_ A
                                |__ A1
                                |__A2
                             |_ B
                                |__ B1
                                |__ B2
                             |_ C
                                 |__ C1
                                 |__ C2

Assume that A,B and C are different level of documents and each level of documents can by accessed by group of users for example

Document(space) A and its sub document (sub spaces) should be accessed by User1,2 and 3. Similarly Space B and space C and it sub spaces are accessed by user4,5 and 6 for (SPACE B) and user7,8 and 9 for (SPACE C).

My question is, I logged as admin and in the 'Manage User Space' action, at present i can set user for SPACE A only but i am not able to set for its sub spaces A1 and A2.

After setting the space A, I logged in as user1 and i get into the space A and space A is empty and i am not able to see the space A1 and A2

So what is the correct configuration to get subspaces also.?

or it is not possible to apply in 1.3 ? if no, please say the steps to configure.

Thanks
