Installing Alfresco War File On Tomcat With Liferay

[wcameron]

I am installing alfresco.war on the same tomcat instance that can with my liferay installation for 4.1.12

When i log into the alfresco application i get the following exception can anyone give me some idea of the cause of the problem.

javax.faces.FacesException: Error calling action method of component with id loginForm:submit
caused by:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Exception while invoking expression #{LoginBean.login}
caused by:
java.lang.RuntimeException: class configured for MessageDigest(provider: CryptixCrypto)cannot be found.
caused by:
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: class configured for MessageDigest(provider: CryptixCrypto)cannot be found.
caused by:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: cryptix.jce.provider.md.MD4

This problem seem to go away once you stop tomcat and start again.

Anyone know the source of the problem and way around it?

I found a great post to facilitate the installation of Alfresco war with Liferay 4.3 (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_2.1WAR_Liferay4.3)

After several issues I'm now able to select a one of the installed Alfresco portlets..

However, when one is selected from the following..

  AlfrescoMyTasks
  AlfrescoDocList
  AlfrescoMySpaces 
  AlfrescoMyWebForms

There is an error message presented about the script cannot be found (404).. I do see the scripts are available.. Could this be a config setting? or perhaps a missing component?

Any help / pointers to possible cause would be much appreciated..

The error message produced is as follows..

The Web Script /alfresco/168s/ui/doclist has responded with a status of 404 - Not Found.

Hi! I'm just trying to deploy alfresco 2.1 in liferay 4.3, according to http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_2.1WAR_Liferay4.3, without being successful. After I place the alfresco.war in the liferay deploy directory the log shows "processing alfresco.war" but nothing more happens. I've seen that the war-file is missing a portlet.xml file. When I add some other portlet.xml file it starts unpacking and do everything that should be done during deployment but of course i get errors due to the wrong portlet.xml file. Must there not be a portlet.xml file in the war package?

My aim is mainly to be able to use the web script portlets.

[joe_otero]

Patrik,

I didn't have any problems related to a missing file.. I did have problems preventing an install due to DB and memory..

DB issue (I'm using MySQL) was resolved using the files found to define the account and db found in the downloaded Alfresco package (alfresco\extras\databases\mysql)

Storage issue was resolved by updating the Catalina.bat file to increase memory.. (set java_opts statement - found instructions in Liferay install doc (http://content.liferay.com/4.3/doc/installation/liferay_4_installation_guide/onepage/) section on Alfresco install


Please let me know if you experience the 404 issue I reported..

[szimano]

It's missing portlet.xml - i took the one that is in the svn. Alfresco loads but has the problem that you can't upload files.

Cheers,
Tomek

[joe_otero]

portlet.xml was in the package I downloaded.. It was deployed to E:\liferay-portal-tomcat-5.5-4.3.0\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF.

your not getting the 404 error when one of the Alfresco portlets? I take it your using Jboss?

To what extent of the following portlets functioning..

AlfrescoMyTasks
AlfrescoDocList
AlfrescoMySpaces
AlfrescoMyWebForms

[szimano]

no - i tried with tomcat 6.0.
