Dynamic models - web-client-config-custom - more than 1?

[msvoren]

Hi all!
I'm using dynamic modeling for web-client configuration,
I have my web-client-config-custom.xml file in Data Dictionary.

The question is, can I have more than 1 configuration file there?

The intension is to break this file in 2-3 files, to have just 1 file for e.g. displaying document types, displaying stuff in advanced search, configuring appereance for custom spaces, setting icons..

It is possible, but you will have to specify locations of your additional custom config files. Take a look at webClientConfigSource bean in alfresco/web-client-application-context.xml for an example how the location of default web-client-config-custom.xml is specified.

As per previous post, you can override the webClientConfigSource bean (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Client_Configuration_Guide#Configure_Additional_Config_Files) although, to avoid editing web-client-application-context.xml, you should add an extra context file to your contextConfigLocation (web.xml) which includes your overridden bean, eg.

<context-param>
   <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
   <param-value>
      …
      …
      classpath*:alfresco/extension/custom-web-context.xml
   </param-value>
   <description>Spring config file locations</description>
</context-param>

I have also added this extension point to HEAD, so it should be available in the next nightly build (2.9.0C_dev).
