Custom Behavior

[mtw999]

Hi,

I created custom behavior (following ecmarchitect tutorial). When I start alfresco, I get an exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Error loading class [com.mydev.alf.Rating] for bean with name 'ratingsbehaviour' defined in file [/home/alfrescodev/AlfrescoArtifacts/projecttemplate/config-share/alfresco/web-extension/custom-slingshot-miketrain-context.xml]: problem with class file or dependent class; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/alfresco/repo/node/NodeServicePolicies$OnDeleteNodePolicy


why is org/alfresco/repo/node/NodeServicePolicies$OnDeleteNodePolicy not being found? Is this a classpath issue? I have included Repository project/jar in my project but oit made no difference.

Hello,

where did you put your custom JAR that includes your compiled behavior / policy class? If you put it somewhere in /tomcat/shared/ or /tomcat/lib/ it will not work. If you have a compiled Java class that depends on some Alfresco Java classes, the JAR needs to be put in /tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/ preferably by installing it via the AMP mechanism. This is due to the way classloader lookup dependencies.

Thank you for the information. I'm running Jetty inside of Eclipse, so I'm not quite sure I need to put my custom jar/class with respect to it. I will try to figure this out.

Solved my problem. My class was under share webapp, not alfresco. Dumb!

Thanks,
