Custom Content Model Location

[ppurcellrr]

Hello

At the company I work  a previous developer created a custom amp and created a  custom content model. The content model was placed in the custom amp.  We are using Alfresco 4.1.2 Enterprise  on Tomcat 6 on RHEL.

I wish to move the  location of the model definition to the tomcat / shared/ classes/alfresco directory.

I understand that if I delete the model or  remove the definition I will have problems if I see move the  location will
I run into those problems?

If I understand correctly then currently you have custom contentModel.xml placed under WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model. Now, instead of putting it there, you want to place it under tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension. If this is your requirement, then it is okay to move the file to this location. This way you are just separating your custom content model from out-of-the-box alfresco webapp which is a good practice. Just ensure that you also modify the context.xml loading your custom content model to point to the new location.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Ramesh

You understood correctly. I just wanted  to get a second opinion before I did something that has very far reaching possibilities.

Thanks again  this puts my mind at ease.

Moving location from where a model is loaded should not cause problems.
