Import space with module

[major_king]

Hello everybody,

now i've spend a lot of time to import/create a new space during the insatlling-process of a custom module, but now all my ideas are gone. I studied the "Basic Sample AMP" from the SDK and the RecordsMananagement-AMP. The Module will be installed and started successful. But when i look into the web client, there is no new space
Perhaps anybody can post a little example or find the error in my files:

Thank's a lot for helping.

one thing that jumped out at me:
  module-context.xml has a wrong value for classpath -
   

<value>classpath:alfresc/module/repocon/ui/web-client-config.xml</value‍

>
  should point to "classpath:alfresco" instead of "classpath:alfresc"

I am assuming you are making sure that the bootstrap-context.xml is included in the amp file and gets installed into the right location, i.e.
     alfresco/module/repocon/context/bootstrap-context.xml

Are you getting any messages about attempting to bootstrap?

Lastly, keep in mind that after the module got first bootstrapped, it will not go through the bootstrapping process again, so to continue testing this, you need to either recreate db / file system every time, or to keep renaming your module file.   So if you have already installed the module before, maybe it's just not re-bootstrapping it because it thinks the module is already installed.

Hi,

the bootstrap-context.xml is included and installed to "alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\module\repocon\context"

I develope on an VM, so everytime I changed the module I reset the VM.

When I start the alfresco-server, I get this message:
16:02:06,315 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.module.ModuleServiceImpl] Found 1 module(s).
16:02:06,502 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.module.ModuleServiceImpl] Installing module 'repocon' version 0.1.

I also take a look on the other modules in the svn-repositroy and tried a lot, but there will be no custom space after booting the alfresco-server

Perhaps anybody has another little sample, which only imports a new space in company_home…

Thanks a lot!

Regards.
Christian

You said you looked at Records Management AMP already.  I'd suggest to try rip out functionality until all it has is the code that creates the spaces.  Perhaps that will get you closer.

Hi major_king,

I'm not 100% sure about this as I haven't tested it, but from your log messages it says that your repocon AMP is version 0.1, while in your bootstrap-context.xml file you have your "sinceVersion" value set to 1.0.  From what I've read, this means that bootstrapping will only work on modules versions 1.0 and higher (which might be your 0.1 isn't working).

The only way I could get this to work was by working with an AMP that did bootstrap data correctly, then slowly modified it to suit my needs.  I'm also now an expert at clearing out my database as a result.

Please let me know if this helps, it's a hunch that I haven't had a chance to test myself.

Hi rosemaryl,

i have already fixed the problem last week after a lot of try&error. I can't spezify my fault exactly, but now it works and that makes me very happy But thanks for answering.

If somebody has the same problems, send me a pm for my files.

Regards,
Christian
