Manually fix 'user can't change start location' problem

[rosemeyer2]

Hi,

there is a bug in 3.2r so that a user can't change his start location in the profile. It switches back to My Alfresco even if you have choosen something different. I learned from JIRA, that this is fixed in 3.3. nightly. I would like to give my 3.2r a fix, so does anyone know, what file to update?

Regards,
Rudolf

Well, Community 3.2r2 is cl 17458, so this fix is already included in r2, but it's still not working. Do I get something wrong here? Regards, Rudolf

The fix is on a different branch and hasn't been merged across to HEAD yet.

Thanks,

Ah, ok, so there is a community branch and a enterprise branch, now I understand the "copy 3.2 to HEAD" changelist, these are bugfixes for the mainline. I successfully compiled the web-client jar and now changing start location works. Thanks a lot.

i made the change that is written above and i have this error when i enter alfresco

java.lang.ClassFormatError: Incompatible magic value 791617604 in class file org/alfresco/web/bean/repository/Preferences

i changed the Preferences.class that i found at C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\lib in the alfresco-web-client-3.2r2.jar file

to this

public void setValue(String name, Serializable value)
    {
        QName qname = QName.createQName("http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0", name);
        UserTransaction tx = null;
        try
        {
            FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            tx = Repository.getUserTransaction(context);
            tx.begin();
            getNodeService().setProperty(this.preferencesRef, qname, value);
            tx.commit();
            cache.put(name, value);
        }
        catch(Throwable err)
        {
