AWE config for WCMQS surf war running on a remote server

[boneill]

Hi all,

Can anyone advise on how you configure awe so that it allows users to use incontext editing of a page from an editorial site running on a remote server to the alfresco server.  This seems to have been asked before but no one has answered it.  It seems like a pretty normal use case to me to seperate your website app server from the server running the alfresco webapp.

Many thanks

Hi Guys,

Can anyone from alfresco comment on this.  We have been all over the code trying to track this down and cant find it. 

There is no documentation that we can find on this at all.  We looked at awe and the customer app but that did not tell us much because it has done it as part of config in web.xml which the tag libraries in customoer.jar then use.  Looking at the awe tag library used in wcmqs there is no obvious place that we can find it being set to localhost 8080.

If someone could help that would be great.

Regards

Sorry for the delay in replying - we've just had our annual kick-off which absorbed my time.

The best reference I have for this is actually in a blog post written by Kev Roast. In step 2 of the instructions on that post he describes how to override the default "alfresco" connector which is the one that the AWE uses. One of the properties that can be changed is the endpoint URL, and this is what you'll need to adjust.
