Error starting Alfresco after AMP installation

[andrea81it]

Hi,
i found and installed an AMP extension which provide hyperlinks for associations:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/AMP_for_Web_Client_Links_in_Associations

installed following instructions here:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Module_Management_Tool

…and configured the AMP as described, with a faces-config-custom.xml file in my Eclipse project, deployed using the usual ANT script.
Starting Alfresco, i have a "bad stack trace":

09:45:34,531  ERROR [web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed

…

What's wrong?
Before the installation, it worked all fine…
Maybe the faces-config.custom.xml is in a wrong place? I tried to put in in webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF and in webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension, but i can't solve this problem and the worst thing is that i can't remove the AMP extension.
Thank you very much in advance!

I think you need to look into the log message:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [alfresco/application-context.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist‍

It's a good starting point…i created the file application-context.xml in WEB-INF/classes/alfresco and tried to start Tomcat: i got several stacktrace like this:

…so i started to follow the definitions of beans trough the Spring configuration files from web-application-context.xml.
Do i have to add other classpath reference in my application-context.xml?
I thought that using the AMP previously described would be a "ready to use" solution…but now i think it's not so.
I read that is not so easy to uninstall AMP packages…is there a way to revert my Alfresco customization?
Thank you very much!

Your webapp in tomcat/webapps/alfresco is messed up.
If you never touched that location for other customizations and if the alfresco.war file is still there, you can delete the alfresco folder there. On next start, tomcat wil unzip the alfresco.war again and you have a fresch start. The module management tool also did a backup of the alfresco.war when you patched it with the amp.

hope this helps.

Thank you for the tip!!
I restored Alfresco with your suggestion and reconfigured with my own models and web-client-config custom.
