FTR postCommit callback

Good day,Looking for some guidance on how to call a bash shell script from FTR after a successful replication job.There are references to being able to execute a callback here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/FSR#postCommit_callbackI can also see that code exists in FileSystemDeploymentTarget.java to

You inject your callback via spring into the definition of your deployment target.

Here's an extract from filesystem-target-sample.xml

            <!– Add your prepare callbacks here –>
            <property name="prepare">
               <list>
                  <bean class="org.alfresco.deployment.SampleRunnable" />
               </list>
            </property>

            <!– Add your postCommit callbacks here –>
            <property name="postCommit">
               <list>
                  <bean class="org.alfresco.deployment.SampleRunnable" />
               </list>
            </property>


There's a sample Java class org.alfresco.deployment.ProgramRunnable that can run a program such as bash.   It has three properties, program, directory and arguments.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for you quick response.

Sorry, I'm not following. There's a hole in my knowledge. Does the filesystem-target-sample.xml live under the File Transfer Target folder of your desired destination in your repo or is it deployed to the FSR?

Thanks,
Ben

Ahh, please excuse my ignorance. I was using the File Transfer Receiver as opposed to the Deployment Receiver.

Trying the Deployment Receiver now.

Hi again Mark,

After doing some more research, I have another Q. Is there anyway to call a script using File Transfer Receiver as opposed to the Deployment Receiver? I have no interest in boot-strapping AVM.

The FTR works well and is straight forward enough to setup. Just need to invoke an external script.

Ok well, in the end I downloaded the Alfresco source code and created a mechanism to handle the callbacks. Based my patch on existing code from the Deployment Receiver.
