where did the subsystems go?

maxcasey — Wed, 18 Feb 2015 18:16:02 GMT

Running 5.0c and the /WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/ folder doesn't have all the same folders that my 4.2e install does. Did these subsystems get removed? Where should I configure FTP and CIFS now?Thanks for the help.

Hello,

those folders didn't get removed, but they are no longer contained in the web application in an exploded format (on the file system). They are now contained in the JAR(s) of the Alfresco sub-project / addon they originate from. The core Repository subsystems should be contained in the alfresco-repository-xx.jar
The way to configure subsystems remains the same - create a subsystems folder structure in /shared/classes/alfresco/extension and drop in your custom Spring context or properties files as you did with previous Alfresco versions.

You shouldn't need to touch the subsystem configuration unless you are doing something out of the ordinary. Most users should just put their ftp and cifs config settings in alfresco-global.properties.

Thanks for the reply guys. I appreciate it! BTW is there a place where i can read up on changes like this from release to release? I assume its more common knowledge for developers but where did you guys learn about this?

Hello,

I can't really recall where I first heard about this / found out. It may have been a blog post of Gabrielle Columbro about Alfresco Maven SDK 2.x, one of the guys in charge of build process at Alfresco or an announcement in the release notes for a Community version.

Ok, quick Google search: It was Samuel Langlois <a href="https://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/developer/2014/06/27/moving-alfresco-build-to-maven/">blog post about moving the Alfresco build process to Maven</a>
