Blog AMP

[marco_altieri]

I installed the alfresco-blog-integration-2.1.0.amp but alfresco module does not start anymore.
In the log file I found this error message:

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Failed to initialise config service
…
…
…
Caused by: org.alfresco.config.ConfigException: Unable to construct action 'addBlogDetails' evaluator classname: org.alfresco.module.blogIntegration.ui.AddBlogDetailsEvaluator
…
…

I tried both on Windows and Linux and I got the same error.
Alfresco 2.1 is running on a JBoss bundled with Liferay.

Thanks,
Marco

but if you post the entire error I could try.

The entire exception stack trace is too long.
This is a longer excerpt:

Hi,

Just a couple of questions to help diagnose the problem.

- Did you use the module management tool to install the AMP?
- I presume Alfresco was running before the AMP was installed?

In the mean time you should have a back-up of the orgional WAR made by the MMT.  You should be able to replace the modified WAR with the backed-up one to revert you're repo to the state is was prior to installing the AMP.

Cheers,
Roy

I have better understood the problem.
I was using a compiled version of the extension.
It seems there is a bug in DefaultBlogIntegrationImplementation: the extension does not work when I deploy the compiled version, but it works well if I substitute in the compiled jar the DefaultBlogIntegrationImplementation.class with the same class contained in the downloaded amp.

The difference is in AddBlogDetailsEvaluator class.
The one that is not working extends BaseActionEvaluator, the other one implements ActionEvaluator.

All the evaluators have the same problems…
