A <strong>corrupt dynamic content model</strong> to Alfresco (5.0.d CE) was deployed and activated.By corrupt I mean, the content model is not valid, because a wrong type has been used which does not exist. Something like:
<property name="my:name">
<type>test</type>
</property>
where "test" is obviously not valid - but the mistake in the model does not really matter here.So, this content model was deployed dynamically to the
Repository > Data Dictionary > Models
and then unfortunately <strong>activated via Alfresco API call</strong> (and not via Share UI; since the Share UI usually checks if a model is valid before actually allowing to activate it).This causes the Alfresco repository to not start anymore but fail with the error:
2016-01-19 18:17:11,780 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] [localhost-startStop-1] Context initialization failed
org.alfresco.service.namespace.NamespaceException: A namespace prefix is not registered for uri my.test.model
on booting up.
My question is now, <strong>how to deactivate this corrupt model again</strong> without having access to the running Alfresco repository instance, this not able to access the Data Dictionary > Models folder anymore.<strong>I already tried to deploy a customModel.xml and custom-model-context.xml with the same model name</strong> etc. inside to the /alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension folder, but this does not seem to override the dynamic model. When booting up Alfresco, I still get the error above.Any ideas anybody? Thanks!Just for reference, this is the customModel.xml file that I use to override the old one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
