Alfresco 3 Sources - extending a class that DOES NOT exist

[jayjayecl]

Hello,

I have some serious trouble understanding something in Alfresco 3 sources.
The class org.alfresco.web.ui.repo.component.UINavigator seems to extend the class org.alfresco.web.ui.common.component.SelfRenderingComponent.

But, browsing those sources, there is NO class SelfRenderingComponent !!!
How is that possible ?

another thing I could not get :
when browsing the javadocs (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_JavaDoc), how can we choose the version of Alfresco release ?
I could not notice any labels on the pages telling "javadoc for Alfresco 2.x" ?
Besides, I have the same problem when browsing sources on the svn …

thanks for any reply

If you checked out the source code from svn at some point it's probably best if you generate the java doc for the version of the code that you have. There is an ant target "generate-docs" defined in build.xml that should do this for you.

The SelfRenderingComponent seems to have been moved to the webscript-framework part of the sources.
And the webscript-framework sources are not zipped in the Alfresco 3 SDK (there is only the webscript-framework.jar lib in its /lib folder).

FYI, we opened a JIRA issue for this: http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-2034

Go vote for it asap!  😉

Thank you for that.
Any JIRA opened for the lack of versions notes in Javadocs or SVN ?

I got it from here: http://kickjava.com/src/org/alfresco/web/ui/common/component/SelfRenderingComponent.java.htm
It is an old version, but works.

How about http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/webscript-framework/s... instead?
