Alfresco 3c, jboss and WCM

[inspiron82]

Hi guys,
our configuration is:

-Alfresco ver.3c
-jboss 4.2.3
-apache tomcat 5.5.17

Now we would like to install WCM module.

Which are the differences between WCM installed on Alfresco 3 rather than 3.3?

Can u tell me which files I have to download and configure to achieve the goal?
Can u please tell me where i can find some comprehensive guide or tutorial?


thanks a lot

Yes,   normal backup and restore procedures apply to all alfresco stores.

I finally managed to create the website of the tutorial and to see it in the preview.

I deployed it on the standalone deployment engine  using port 44100.

Now I have to deploy the web app created with wmc on an application server like jboss, and I have some question:
1)which the best deployment strategy for my purpose? Standalone(44100), filesystem(50500), avm(50500) or alfresco(50500)?
2)what are the pros and cons of the previous strategies?

3)I have to develop and maintain three different web app created with wcm… Is there a way to tell Alfersco wcm to deploy webapp1 on jboss1, webapp2 on jboss2 and webapp3 on jboss3?

I forgot… Obviously my aim is to allow access to the site only to some alfresco's users, like only users that are subscribers to a service… Is it possible? thanks

thanks a lot, you are useful as usual…

On Labs 3c you only have the choice of FSR or ASR deployment.    ASRs have an Alfresco runtime and therefore have capabilities like full text search and permissions.    You will use an ASR to back up a dynamic website.  FSRs are file level deployments only so typically you are adding files to be displayed by a web server.

Yes.    You can selectively deploy bits of a web project or deploy a whole web project.    

First you have to decide whether to have one or more than one "Web Project".   The decision for how many web projects should be based on the contents, who owns and authors the content and what is the lifecycle of the content.    Common patterns are - one big web project,     one web project for content authors and one for the "system" and one common web project and a set of web projects which are translated for different domains.

You can also divide up a single web project into individual webapps,  and deploy part of the web project based on a path query.
