umamaheswari — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 09:41:34 GMT

[size=14] Hi All,I upgraded the Alfresco Community Edition in my system from 3.4.b to 4.2.e. I started the server and the start up was fine. But when i built the customisation and placed the jar in respective lib folder , I am getting lot of BeanCreationException. I will post a part of the log here.

There might be few of injected services are removed or gets renamed in latest version
For instance in your this bean com.customrule.executor.CustomSiteServiceImpl
It is throwing error of not able to set "directNodeService".

Best way is to compile your code against 4.2 sdk and check all missing dependencies.

Thanks for the reply Mits,

I have compiled the build against Alfresco-SDK-4.0.d only and got this error.

But all the services which you are injecting in your context files for your custom beans are you able to search all those beans within SDK 4.0.d?

Hi Mits,

I am able to search those bean definition only if I have added SDK AlfrescoEmbedded in my Workspace. This "directNodeService" is a property that is called in init method of SiteServiceImpl in 4.2.e which was not mandatorily checked in 3.4.b. My question is which is the appropriate way to declare this "directNodeService" and define since its a new property in this version.
Is it mandatory to add SDK AlfrescoEmbedded into my workspace always besides adding jars also to build and run customisations successfully ??

Thanks once again..

Que:which is the appropriate way to declare this "directNodeService" and define since its a new property in this version?
Ans: I do not think way of declaring property is changed just two step
Step1: Insert following tag in your bean defination


       <property name="directNodeService" ref="nodeService"/>‍‍

Step2: defind property in bean and generate getter setter for that property.

Que: Is it mandatory to add SDK AlfrescoEmbedded into my workspace always besides adding jars also to build and run customisations successfully ??
Ans: Well not necessary but a good practice.

Mits,

I have declared the property in site-services-context.xml as


<bean id="siteService" class="com.customrule.executor.CustomSiteServiceImpl" init-method="init">

…
…
<property name="directNodeService" ref="nodeService"/>
..
…
</bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

but No luck I still get the same error.

Any suggestions ??

Thanks,

You havn't given enough information about your configuration to help.

But in general you should never change any of the alfresco config directly - it should be overridden.   One side effect of hacking files and not isolating your changes it becomes difficult to post your config on the forums for help!   Another side effect is that it makes updating much more difficult.

Clearly there's been a change in the spring config between 3.4 and 4.2. that your overrides are interfering with.

The good news is that its simply an initialisation error so it should be easy to track down.    I'd pay attention to the difference between your definition of the siteService and "baseNodeService which is what you are replacing.
