Problems with custom Model/aspects

[ke4qqq]

Hey guys,

I am running the alfresco/tomcat bundle, and trying to play with some of the custom model/aspect stuff. I have included the log as well as the three pertinent files. I admit I am a newb to Tomcat/Alfresco, but I must be missing something.

I think you should point your attention to the next message

Caused by: org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException: No unmarshaller for element "model" (line 1, col 7)‍

When I look at your custommodel

<model>
<aspects>
  <!– Custom Business Strategy Solution Details Aspect –>
  <aspect name="custom:SolutionDetails">
  …
  </aspect>
  …
</aspects>
</model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I am missing the name for you model and the xmlns (schema)
my custom model starts like the following:

<model name="cu:custommodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">‍

where the prefix (cu) is defined in the namespace section

  <namespaces>
    <!–Define a namespace for my nef definitions –>
    <namespace uri="my.new.model" prefix="cu"/>
  </namespaces>‍‍‍‍

[frederick]

Also, since you are using the dictionary type 'd:text', you must import the dictionary model like this:

<model name="…" xmlns="…">

…

   <imports>
      <!– Import Alfresco Dictionary Definitions –>
      <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
   </imports>
…‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

HI Guys,

I am having the same problem. did anyone managed to get it working?
Please let me know.

Thanks,
Croc

[almer_bolatov]

There is a file in <tomcat>/shared/classes/alfresco/extension customModel.xml
take it as an example.

[rleones]

I'm getting the same problem…

Could someone help to solve it?

[sujaypillai]

Hi rleones,

Please paste your custom model file over here as the above post is too old.

[rleones]

Sujay, Thanks for your help, but I've already solved the problem.

I've put the wrong xmlns on the custom model. I've changed for this one:

<model name="my:model" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">‍

After this, I haven't gotten the error anymore.
