What is the Deployment Receiver?

ttishgar — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 15:14:04 GMT

As I've been reading the deployment section in the wiki (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deployment), I've noted under the Alfresco To File Server Deployment one can use a deployment receiver. What is the receiver and what kind of software does it require?Thanks,Tomer

The file-system receiver is a separate installable that runs on those remote file servers to which you want to persist file assets snapshoted in a web project. The file-system receiver is a light-weight Alfresco server that runs independently of the Alfresco web app, so that assets you manage within a web project can be deployed to server not running Alfresco. This is particularly useful if you are using Alfresco to manage .NET sites, PHP-driven sites, or static HTML sites where you need to push assets to a separate content delivery environment. It is also designed to be used in conjunction with Alfresco –> Alfresco deployment, so that you can deploy web app resources to a separate server running your own app server, where your app calls back into a run-time Alfresco repo (the second deployment target) to fetch assets using either our RMI interface or (ideally in 2.1) using Web Scripts.

Packaging and install instructions for the file-system deployment receiver (including GUI integration) will be available in our next Community drop, 2.1 Community RC2, targeted for availability later this week.

Kevin – thanks for your swift reply. Two follow-up question:

What software is required for the deployment receiver?

Also, in an Alfresco <–> Alfresco deployment setup, how is security handled on the remote server if the initial server relies on LDAP authentication?

Can you provide a link to this community drop? I haven't been able to find the deployment receiver anywhere. I'm assuming that it's accessible, because today is a few months later than the date you posted this message. Thanks.
