Exception Starting Server afte Spring framework Registration

[oluwasegzy]

Can somebody help me with how to resolve this issue,

I am using a java class as my controller for webscript.

I registered my Spring framework configuration file as shown below

<?xml version=’1.0’ encoding=’UTF-8’? >
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC ‘-//SPRING//DTD BEAN 2.0//EN’
‘http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd’>
<beans>
<bean id="webscript.org.example.javadir.get"
class="org.example.JavaDir" parent="webscript">
<property name="repository" ref="repositoryHelper"/>
</bean>
</beans>

but i have this exception when starting my Alfresco Tomcat Server

Offending resource: class path resource [alfresco/application-context.xml]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from file [C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\javadir-context.xml]; nested exception is org.apache.xerces.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Don't use an editor that inserts "smart quotes".

Thanks,

Thanks MikeH,

I have used a better editor and it seems to have worked but am still having this exception when launching the Alfresco application

Before this exception, there were some ClassNotFoundException i encountered, which i had to paste the appropriate jar into the  classpath of Alfresco

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.example.JavaDir cannot be cast to org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractWebScript

Looks like your class definition is wrong. Difficult to debug without source. I suggest you look at our code and see what you've done wrong.

Thanks,
Mike

I dont seems to find a fault with the source code,



package org.example;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.alfresco.repo.model.Repository;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.Cache;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.DeclarativeWebScript;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.Status;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptException;
import org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptRequest;

public class JavaDir extends DeclarativeWebScript {
   private Repository repository;

   public void setRepository(Repository repository) {
      this.repository = repository;
   }
   public Repository getRepository(){
      return repository;
   }

what am i actually doing wrong

[mrogers]

DeclarativeWebScript is in org.springframework.extensions.webscripts so your "import" is incorrect.

I'm surprised you can even compile your code, I suspect you are compiling against an old version.

[oluwasegzy]

The DeclarativeWebScript class i extended is the same class on the code in the Alfresco Book am using, it got imported from
org.alfresco.web.scripts

Also from what i read, the DeclarativeWebScript  class from org.alfresco.web.scripts is one of the two JAVA classes that implement the most difficult part of the interface org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScript.

I dont understand it when u said i should import and use  DeclarativeWebScript  from org.Springframework.extensions.script


Am compiling the code against the alfresco-labs-sdk-3c SDK

[mrogers]

You need to use the right / matching version of SDK.  

I suspect you are using alfresco > 3.3 and your SDK is not for that version.   In particular the web script framework moves to SpringSource in versions > 3.3.

The Labs 3c SDK is for Labs 3c only  :!:

Thanks,

can i get a link to the Alfresco 3.4d SDK,  thats the version of alfresco am using

Can you not see the big orange download icon in the top right hand corner?
