AuditSurf

[dranakan]

Hello,

There is a software auditing alfresco : http://www.atolcd.com/btn-ll/audit-alfresco.html
It seems to be very good !!!

Atoldc creator, have you evaluate the loose of performance (approximately) having this audit on the server ?

I just have problem to start it (with Alfresco 3.2 / MySql):

Unfortunatly, AuditSurf is only compatible with Alfresco Enterprise 3.1 and 3.1.1 (will work on a V3.0 E with some glitches)
Otherwise, AuditSurf will need some changes to be compatible with Alfresco Entreprise 3.2.

Sincerly.

[gronfelt]

Are there any plans on making it compatible with 3.2 E and would that mean that it would also be compatible with 3.2 CE?

[bertrandf]

Yes we will make it 3.2 E compatible, but not 3.2 CE (but I will try to do a 3.2 CE version on my own).

[gronfelt]

Just out of curiosity, what are the main differences between E and CE that causes it not to work with CE?

[bertrandf]

The only difference is JMX (Enterprise Only feature), AuditSurf use JMX (System monitoring).

[bertrandf]

The 3.2 CE version is on the forge

Hi Bertrand,

I have tried to deploy AuditSurf (enterprise edition version) on an Alfresco 3.1.1 Enterprise release,
but I get the following error in our jboss server.log:

2009-09-22 07:35:26,625 INFO  [STDOUT] 07:35:26,625  ERROR [web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Error loading class [com.atolcd.alfresco.audit.repo.AuditQueriesServiceImpl] for bean with name 'beanAuditQueriesService' defined in file [D:\jboss-4.2.1.GA\server\default\deploy\alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\com.atolcd.alfresco.audit\module-context.xml]: problem with class file or dependent class; nested exception is java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file‍‍‍

Our jboss uses the following java version:

07:33:41,203 INFO  [ServerInfo] Java version: 1.5.0_16,Sun Microsystems Inc.
07:33:41,203 INFO  [ServerInfo] Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.5.0_16-b02,Sun Microsystems ‍‍

Seems like the AuditSurf classes were build on a newer java version.
Can you please tell me what version(s) are compatible with Auditsurf?

Best Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

AuditSurf was built with Java 1.6. We've never test it on Java 1.5.
I will try to compile it with a Java 1.5 and I'll PM it to you.

Sincerly.

[alexr]

Thanks Bertrand, that would be great.

Regards,

Alex
