ECM + Forms + Dynamic types

[anselmo_abadia]

Hi, I'm using Alfresco 2.9B because I needed the Forms feature. Everything works fine, but I can't define dynamic type in my XSD using JSP. I've tested the same example in Alfresco 2.1 WCM, and it works. Can I use dynamic types in Alfresco 2.9b?  Do I need a virtual host?.

Thanks, Anselmo

If by dynamic types you mean dynamic xs:imports / xs:includes, then the answer is no - those are currently only available to WCM forms because the dynamic code that's imported / included must currently be stored within a Web Project (which is a WCM specific location).

The goal is to update the inclusion mechanism to support web scripts as well, since that will allow dynamic includes in both the DM and WCM sides of the house.  This is being tracked in JIRA ticket WCM-555 (http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/WCM-555) - I'd encourage you to vote and/or comment on this issue if you feel that this is important functionality.

Cheers,
Peter
