Liferay 4.3+Alfresco 2.1: MyFacesContextFactoryImpl problem

[hbf]

Hi,

I've followed http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_2.1WAR_Liferay4.3 on a fresh Liferay4.3 install to get both Liferay and Alfresco running. Unfortunately, at startup, I get an error complaining that class com.liferay.util.bridges.jsf.myfaces.MyFacesContextFactoryImpl cannot be found:

A grep on the tomcat installation shows me:

hbf-laptop:/opt/liferay-portal-tomcat-5 root# grep -r MyFacesContextFactoryImpl *alfresco.log:javax.faces.FacesException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.liferay.util.bridges.jsf.myfaces.MyFacesContextFactoryImpl# MORE LOG FILES THAT MATCH…Binary file temp/liferay/com/liferay/portal/deploy/dependencies/util-bridges.jar matcheswebapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml:              <faces-context-factory>com.liferay.util.bridges.jsf.myfaces.MyFacesContextFactoryImpl</faces-context-factory>Binary file webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/util-bridges.jar matcheshbf-laptop:/opt/liferay-portal-tomcat-5 root# ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

To me this looks like there *is* indeed a class MyFacesContextFactoryImpl but not under com.alfresco… but com.liferay…!? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Many thanks for a hint,
Kaspar

Hi,

I also tried as per instructions given in

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_2.1WAR_Liferay4.3

and I ended up with the same error. When faces-config.xml is not included in web.xml, alfresco starts and the web interface can be accessed via http://hostname/alfresco, but alfresco client or any other portlets  don't get registered with the liferay.

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Lakmal

That's odd - during the deploy of the WAR file, Liferay should copy in the following file into webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/util-bridges.jar - does that file exist in your installation? There should also be 'util-java.jar' and  'util-taglib.jar' copied from Liferay.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,

No, i can't find those files in there. I tried copying them from liferay  to lib directory  in alfresco and running the startup script, but still the same problem.  I even tried placing the inside the war file and then deploy, but no change. Also I noticed that when I include the faces-config.xml file i'm getting this error.  When that happens I can't even see the alfreso interface outside of liferay, but without that file, the i can access alfresco from outside. Any ideas?

Regards,

Lakmal

When you followed the steps on the wiki, you dropped the alfresco.war into your Liferay deploy dir and Liferay sucessfully processed it and created the exploded (and modified) liferay\webapps\alfresco dir? I'm not sure why it has not copied those JAR files over during deploy - there are other modifications it makes to the web.xml file during deploy also - they are also needed which is probably why it's not working. It's almost like it's not making those mods…

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Yes the alfresco directory is exploded within the webapps folder, and also the alf_data directory within the bin directory. I don't know however what components are missing further. I tried to deploy the war file within the liferay portal… Then I'm getting the following error. I don't know why it's getting black listed..

Lakmal

When you followed the steps on the wiki, you dropped the alfresco.war into your Liferay deploy dir and Liferay sucessfully processed it and created the exploded (and modified) liferay\webapps\alfresco dir? I'm not sure why it has not copied those JAR files over during deploy - there are other modifications it makes to the web.xml file during deploy also - they are also needed which is probably why it's not working. It's almost like it's not making those mods…

I had the same problem after my installation. The reason is: The alfresco.war file to be deployed contains no portlet.xml and no liferay-plugin-package.xml files, so the AutoDeployer does not recognize the war file as a Liferay plugin. On my machine, the deployment was simply ignored, the war file was not exploded. I found this out by running the Tomcat server in debug mode ("catalina jpda run") and debugging it inside Eclipse.

After I added those 2 files, everything worked OK.

Could you please add those 2 files to the liferay43files.zip file and upload it again? I do not want to publish those files here because I am not sure whether the content is correct.

Thanks,
Matthias

No problem I'll add those files - it's very odd that it worked ok here on our development laptops (I had other devs test it also with no problems)…

I'll let you know when the zip is updated.

Thanks,

Kevin

[kevinr]

I have updated the zip file and updated the wiki instructions. Please can you let me know if it all works for you now.

Thanks for your assistance,

Kevin

Hi,

After adding those two files, the util*.jar files are in the lib. However it appears that there are some incompatibilities in the files, may be due to version changes? I get the following errors now. Anyway I will wait till the zip file is ready to test again.

I also have a question about the mysql database. When you follow the guidlines exactly as given in the wiki, I think it will use the HSQL database. Don't you need to have the custom-hibernate-dialect.properties file modified in the extensions folder?
