TestModel.java

markthompson23 — Wed, 07 Dec 2005 23:48:21 GMT

I cannot get the TestModel.java app to validate the models. I have made no changes to the existing code nor I have added new models. Here is the output from the console:Testing dictionary model definitions… alfresco/model/dictionaryModel.xml alfresco/model/systemModel.xml alfresco/model/contentMod

The model files are searched for within the classpath. Can you check that the config directory containing them is added to your classpath. The four models listed are found in:

/projects/repository/config/alfresco/model

The Alfresco data dictionary guide has a section on Testing the model definition.
http://www.alfresco.org/mediawiki/index.php/Data_Dictionary_Guide#Step_5:_Testing_the_Model_definition

You will need the following jar files on your classpath:

    * projects/repository/build/dist/repository.jar
    * projects/core/build/dist/core.jar
    * projects/3rd-party/lib/jibx/jibx-run.jar
    * projects/3rd-party/lib/xpp3.jar
    * projects/3rd-party/lib/commons/commons-logging.jar

and add . for good measure!

Then from within alfresco-src-1.1.0\projects\repository\config
run:


java -cp [as above] org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.TestModel alfresco/extension/customModel.xml

It is working now.

The following was already in the repository project's .classpath:

<classpathentry kind="src" path="config"/>

I added:

* projects/repository/build/dist/repository.jar
* projects/3rd-party/lib/jibx/jibx-run.jar
* projects/3rd-party/lib/xpp3.jar
* projects/3rd-party/lib/commons/commons-logging.jar
* projects/core/build/dist/core.jar

to the project's classpath and it is working now. How did you know to add those jars RBramley? They are not mentioned in the wiki link.

I'm still not sure why it couldn't find the files to begin with since the config directory was on the classpath.

At any rate, thanks for the help. I was a little embarassed to have to ask but now that I see what fixed it, I'm not sure I would have ever known to add those files.

Glad I could help.

I found out the hard way by resolving ClassNotFoundException(s)! :wink:
So I ended up creating a validateModel batch file…

I ended up scrapping my Eclipse workspace and started from scratch re-importing the projects. I decided to add each jar listed above one by one to see if there was one in particular that mattered.

After adding the core.jar, it worked (without any of the others). As a matter of fact, I removed the core.jar also and it continues to work.

Not sure why but I thought I would pass it on.
