Custom Content Model Location

ppurcellrr — Wed, 07 May 2014 20:21:50 GMT

HelloAt the company I work a previous developer created a custom amp and created a custom content model. The content model was placed in the custom amp. We are using Alfresco 4.1.2 Enterprise on Tomcat 6 on RHEL.I wish to move the location of the model definition to the tomcat / shared/ classes

If I understand correctly then currently you have custom contentModel.xml placed under WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model. Now, instead of putting it there, you want to place it under tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension. If this is your requirement, then it is okay to move the file to this location. This way you are just separating your custom content model from out-of-the-box alfresco webapp which is a good practice. Just ensure that you also modify the context.xml loading your custom content model to point to the new location.
Hope this helps.

Moving location from where a model is loaded should not cause problems.

Thanks Ramesh

You understood correctly. I just wanted to get a second opinion before I did something that has very far reaching possibilities.

Thanks again this puts my mind at ease.
