Thanks davix,

it worked, i have gotten the two files.

But i have this other challenge in that i have already used the alfresco-fdk.amp file to deploy the FDK module to my installed afresco but i find it a challenge how to deployment of the alfresco-fdk.jar.

This is what the Alfresco documentation says about the alfresco-fdk.jar deployment

Installing the JAR

Presuming the Tomcat instance you are using has been configured to use the shared folder you can simply drop the JAR file (alfresco-fdk.jar) into <tomcat>/shared/lib.

You can of course drop the JAR file into the application's WEB-INF/lib folder too i.e. <tomcat>/webapps/<appname>/WEB-INF/lib but this will be removed when you update or upgrade your application so the technique above is recommended.

If you are installing the FDK into an older Spring Surf application that does not contain the required import statement the fdk-context.xml file can be manually added to your application using the following import:

<import resource="classpath:alfresco/fdk-context.xml"/>

Coming to what i have in my installed alfresco, I dont have the lib folder in my <tomcat>/shared, and also after file in <tomcat>/webapps/alfreco/WEB-INF/lib

I encounter the exception below to load the form console
http://localhost:8080/share/page/fdk

please what do i do

If I understand correctly, are you saying you don't find the lib directory in /webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/ path?

You should be installing into tomcat/shared/lib. If it doesn't exist then create it. And remember to configure tomcat 6 shared class loader as per the wiki.

I have created the lib folder manually inside Tomcat/shared but don't understand the part of configuring the configuring of the tomcat 6 shared class loader you talked about.

The wiki i am reading did not illustrate how to do this

Hello,

Actually I downloaded two files. Applied AMP, it is having 3 xmls files.
I could not find

<edit-form template="/fdk/templates/tab-edit-form.ftl" />‍

actually I want to display or create form like shown in
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Forms_Development_Kit#Examples
it is like Gadget Type. But AMP not providing tab-edit-form.ftl. I am not able to run this. Does anybody have latest AMP for this ?
