FDK Installation

[jpashley]

Hi,
I am trying to install the FDK in Alfresco version 3.4.c and following the instructions in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/3.3_Forms_Development_Kit.
I have installed the alfresco-community-fdk-3.4.c.amp successfully modifying and backing up the share.war.
When I list the alfresco-fdk-3.4.c.jar I see that the files listed are not being put into the directory structure e.g. alfresco/site-data/template-instances/fdk-unit-tests.xml
I have tried copying the alfresco-fdk-3.4.c.jar into both <tomcat>/shared/lib and <tomcat>/webapps/<appname>/WEB-INF/lib and restarting the services but the files listed in alfresco-fdk-3.4.c.jar to not appear anywhere in the directory structure. Note: appname is share (maybe it should be alfresco?)
I can start the FDK using http://localhost:8080/share/page/fdk and can view a nodeRef but that is all.
Q: How to solve?
Environment: MS Windows XP SP 3. Standard Alfresco Community 3.4.c. installation.

Many thanks Steve,

now all is working find and the exercise has helped better understand the behind-the-scenes Alfresco concepts.

I now want to extend my understanding to work on the "Data Lists" in Share.

I've watched the excellent presentation by Jeff Potts (http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2010/04/25/1156) which gives a good insight into modelling new datalists.

I've followed through his example but can't figure out where to put the files, etc. hence I haven't achieved the desired effect … yet.

Maybe you've had cause to do similar things or have heard of someone who has and could give me pointers in the right direction.
