Exploding the alfresco.war file

[creative77]

I have tried to unpack the alfresco.war file so I could make a change to one of the *.xml files. When I build the .war again and deploy the file it fails to deploy.

I was wondering if this is not possible without using the source to rebuidl everything.

This should be possible, in fact in some of the UI based samples in the SDK there is a target in the build.xml file that actually does this, it extracts the WAR file, overlays the new files and re-builds the WAR file. The target is called "integrate-extension".

So, no, you shouldn't need all the source to do this.

One other thing is that I am using a database implementation. I think I read on another post somewhere to do what I want to do, I need to wipe out the database instance.

Is this true.

Also, are there any plans to extend the DB schema to store content in the data store.
