Hey,we need to customize tasks list view so that tasks for every user are visible for everyone. First, I thought I could use webscript to fetch all the active tasks and return them but then I noticed there is no that kind of method that would return tasks of every user. So only solution seems to be

Hey,

I built the Alfresco project using Maven. I added a custom class (CustomWorkflow that extends Workflow) to alfresco-repository module. I've then deployed the newly built alfresco.war to my Alfresco server. Then I added a dependency to alfresco-4.2.e/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-template-services-context.xml like this:


<beans>
    <bean id="workflowTemplateExtension" parent="baseTemplateImplementation" class="org.alfresco.repo.template.CustomWorkflow">
        <property name="extensionName">
            <value>workflow</value>
        </property>
        <property name="serviceRegistry">
            <ref bean="ServiceRegistry"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But when I start the server I get an class not found error. For some reason Alfresco doesn't find the class even though it should be included in alfresco.war. What I'm doing wrong?

You will need to create your own class and than inject the services which you want to use in that class.

In your example the class attributes value should be replaced with your own custom class.
<c>
<beans>
    <bean id="workflowTemplateExtension" parent="baseTemplateImplementation" class="org.alfresco.repo.template.CustomWorkflow">
        <property name="extensionName">
            <value>workflow</value>
        </property>
        <property name="serviceRegistry">
            <ref bean="ServiceRegistry"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>
</c>
