Labs 3a - sharepoint document workspace

[jharrop]

Hi

I'm trying to get this working.

My client is Word 2007 (on XP).

In Word, when I go to create a document workspace, I give "http://192.168.1.98:8080/alfresco" as the location for the new workspace, and click "create".

In its typical helpful fashion, Word responds "A problem occurred while connecting to the server.  If the problem continues, contact your administrator."

Alfresco did create the directory in "Company Home"

I've attached packet sniffer results below.

The final request:

HEAD /alfresco/Test4/Test.docx HTTP/1.1‍

had response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK‍

That doesn't look correct (the file doesn't exist).  But given the 200 response, I would have expected Word to issue a further request. 

Any ideas?

thanks

Jason

I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I've seen an issue where Word 2003 appears to append a space to the end of the url. This seems to cause the connection to fail.

Also try connecting via File->Open

i.e. File-Open and use http://192.168.1.98:8080/alfresco as the filename. You should be asked for your Alfresco username and password and then be able to browse the repository, open docs etc.

So the first time I press the "create" button (this with SVN HEAD with a little extra logging added) I get a null pointer exception:

I'm not sure what code is returning the 200?

[jharrop]

I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I've seen an issue where Word 2003 appears to append a space to the end of the url. This seems to cause the connection to fail.

I've been looking out for that, and haven't notice any extra spaces.

Also try connecting via File->Open

i.e. File-Open and use http://192.168.1.98:8080/alfresco as the filename. You should be asked for your Alfresco username and password and then be able to browse the repository, open docs etc.

I did try this; sometimes the "create" button did create a directory which is visible there alongside "Data Dictionary", "Guest Home" etc; other times, it didn't.  The directory "Sleepy" which the logs above say was created, is *not* visible in the File - Open dialog, nor in the /faces/jsp/ view of Company Home.

I dug up an old computer running Word 2003, and found that on Word 2003, create workspace works fine, and the document is saved to the worksapce.

No null pointer exception (on a quick test); and where Word 2007 sends HEAD (and receives  a 200, at which point things stop), Word 2003 sends GET (and receives a 404), and then OPTIONS and a sequence of other requests.

So, I'm wondering whether this stuff is currently known to work on 2007?  If not, what is the priority of making it work?

thanks

Once one adds support for HEAD in the sharepoint module, Word 2007 can create a sharepoint document workspace.  See ALFCOM-1857

The null point exceptions are due to session being null.  When this occurs it results in errors in both Word 2003 and Word 2007:  ALFCOM-1858

Finally, the sharepoint module has no support for PROPFIND, which manifests itself as an error when you press the "Get updates" button:   ALFCOM-1859

And another one: VTISESSION cookie sometimes set twice (to different values) in the response: ALFCOM-1861

My pleasure - I'm looking forward to the advantages this will offer users once it is working properly.

cheers,
