There are numerous resources related to the form service. When you are exposing custom properties of an object, it is simply a matter of XML configuration to expose those properties as fields on a form.

In your case, however, you are trying to add properties to a user object. The user form is not built to be extensible out-of-the-box. Here is a blog post that discusses how to add properties to the user form in Alfresco Share 3.4. The code will likely not work as-is for Alfresco 4, but it should give you an approach.

I don't know of any. If you can't find any on your own, your best bet will be to attempt to follow the same pattern as the example that works for 3.4 and make adjustments as necessary.

ptvnrao,

If you are trying to add properties to the user object, like the original poster, you can follow the example cited in my first reply. If you are trying to configure Alfresco Share to show custom properties, follow this tutorial:
http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2012/01/09/1509

If you are trying to create generic web forms in Alfresco Share that have nothing to do with content types you'll have to follow the examples that are in various Alfresco Add-Ons or follow various examples available in blog posts.

Regarding Share and Explorer, these are two completely different web clients. Explorer is the old JSF-based client. It is not being actively developed at this point. Share is the new Surf-based client. The Explorer client is currently embedded in the same WAR as the repository itself. So there is really no "flow" or relationship between the two web clients. Many customers have moved to Share for everything. Some older customers have made significant customizations to the Explorer client, so they are slower to move.

Regarding your detailed forms questions, I refer you to the Forms Developer Guide on the wiki.

thanks jeff,
         Thanks for suggestion ,but actually my doubt is lets take share app how this app working in background ,how our request is going throw the how many resources ,which resource is view component and model component and which one is controllers and responsibility respectively.if i know that thing then i will understand how to make changes in alfresco share as per clients requirement like adding dashlets and integrate email from other mail engines etc.And also please tell me previous post mentioned words a little.
       For the forms development which add-on is better and flow of forms executions previously i am installed "alfresco model designer" but i am not clear with that later i am installed "alfresco Form Model Management" for this no good video's there if you don't mind how to create and managed the forms please tell me that step by step or any link for video please…
                                          Thanks for reply and thanks in advance…

I want to know the detailed steps of form creation in alfresco community edition 5.0.c. I'v tried to create a form by copying the form-config.xml by going to C:\Alfresco_new\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco and then changing few properties and renaming it to see whether any changes are implemented or not. But I can't find out where the form is created. Whether it is even created or not? how to configure it then?
