alfresco 1.3 on liferay 4.1.0 or 4.1.1

[tiofelix]

Follow the steps described in wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_WAR_Liferay is enough to run alfresco on liferay 4.1?? Thanks

[kevinr]

No i don't think it will work - there is another recent forum post where someone has tried this and Liferay 4.1.0 has upgraded the MyFaces JAR to a different version than Alfresco uses at present.

Thanks,

Kevin

Ok, thanks.

    While alfresco 1.3 on liferay 4.1 doesn`t work i will try alfresco on liferay 4.0. I've been having a look at the wiki:

( http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_WAR_Liferay)

     and i have a new doubt:

      What does "Alfresco 1.3.0 WAR file bundle" mean? i have the bundle alfresco+jboss, but thera are too other bundles…are the same steps for all??..or i need to download anymore??
      
       Thanks Gavin & Kevin for being so patient, i am learning a lot.

The bundles for various containers exist to make life as easy as possible when deploying Alfresco.

There are minor differences between the various containers such as TomCat, JBoss, Liferay, WebSphere etc. that mean the WAR file needs some subtle changes between each app-server (mainly this just involves the removal or replacement of a JAR file or two - for the portals it may include an extra deployment XML file or two also).

So the bundles exist to give you a pre-setup environment with a WAR file already deployed that is known to be configured correctly for a specific container. We also bundle the default MySQL JBDC driver into the container so it is pretty much ready to go.

The plain WAR file download you mention is just the Alfresco WAR from the TomCat installation - it is indentical to the one we package with it. The WAR file is generally a good starting point when trying to deploy Alfresco into a new J2EE container.

Thanks,

Kevin

Ok i understand, otherwise i tried all the bundles(tomcat too) following step by step described at the wiki and server throws the exception below:

The instructions on the Wiki are for deploying the WAR into Liferay+Tomcat - you appear to be using Liferay+JBoss. I think you will need an extra step to replace the myfaces JAR files in the JBoss instance with the ones from the Alfresco WAR file. Expand the Alfresco WAR file and extract the WEB-INF\lib\myfaces-api.jar and WEB-INF\lib\myfaces-impl.jar files, copy those files into this location liferay\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\jsf-libs - NOTE I am not 100% sure of this location in a Liferay+JBoss bundle, but it will be similar, you are looking for the myfaces-api.jar and myfaces-impl.jar inside a directory called jsf-libs. Restart the server and it should get you further.

Thanks,

Kevin

I've tried exactly this, and I get this error:

Any idea? I think there's an error dealing with libraries, but I don't know which one…

Alfresco is not currently compatible with Liferay 4.1.X, only version 4.0.0 will work.

Thanks,

Kevin

I did try the latest Liferay (1.4.2) with the latest community version of Alfresco (built from HEAD) the other day and after some deployment issues it did work.

Try the following (presuming you've followed all the other steps in the wiki article regarding the file updates):

- Remove alfresco.war from the deploy directory and copy it somewhere outside the liferay directory structure.

- Start Liferay and login with the test@liferay.com user.

- Go to the admin portlet and the hot deploy tab.

- Browse for the alfresco.war file and deploy.

These steps worked for me, but then I was using Tomcat not JBoss.

Let us know if this worked for you and we can update the wiki page.

e.g the 36mb one?

thanks,
Alex
