Cannot run Alfresco samples

[fluca1978]

Hi all,
I'm new to Alfresco and I'm trying to set up a development environment using Eclipse Helios and Aflresco CE 3.4c. I've downloaded the SDK and imported all the projects into my workspace, I've set up all the libraries so that I can compile the projects and here comes the first problem: the project SDK Embedded is missing, that is it is nowhere in the SDK directory. I've removed the dependency on such project and Eclipse can compile my projects. However, if I try to run the FirstFoundationClient I got the following exception:

I've checked the configuration file of the project and it contains the right parameters for me: CE installation path and database data.

dir.root=/sviluppo/alfresco-3.4c/alf_data



db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.username=alfresco
db.password=alfresco
db.name=alfrescodb
db.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/alfrescodb
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
hibernate.query.substitutions=true TRUE, false FALSE
db.port=5432
db.host=localhost

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Luca

Seems it was a problem of the runtime configuration, that was not updated with the build path in Eclipse. Now when I run the sample application I got the following exception:

The problem is that I cannot find Script.hbm.xml on my disk, either within the SDK or the CE installation. Am I missing something?

[mrogers]

Are you sure you have the correct version of the SDK.   That file does not exist on Alfresco 3.4

[fluca1978]

Thanks,
I removed all the runtime libraries from Eclipse and added again all the jars found under server/dependencies and now I can run the first couple of examples. Now I'm asking myself if this is the right procedure, since the manual does not talk a lot about adding such a lot of jars to the project before you can run it. Is there a smarter way to get started?

Thanks,
Luca

I'm getting the exact same error message.  I made certain my CE and SDK installations were both 3.4.c.  I'm thinking it is a class path issue, but I have not figured it out yet.  I'll keep plugging away at a better solution and will let you know if I find something out.
