Problems with installing Alfresco SDK v3

[alr]

Hello,

I am currently trying to install the Alfresco SDK v3 in order to test the JCR capabilities of Alfresco.

Unfortunately I am exiting with a ClassLoadException which is also explained in the wiki - however I already important every jar out of the dependencies directory.

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException:
Error loading class [org.alfresco.filesys.repo.ContentDiskDriver] for bean with name 'contentDiskDriver' defined in class path resource [alfresco/network-protocol-context.xml]: problem with class file or dependent class;
nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/alfresco/jlan/server/filesys/DiskInterface
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/alfresco/jlan/server/filesys/DiskInterface

I do not find any reference to jlan, when going through the SDK sources (except in the DLLs). jlan is not mentioned in any file or directory name (though the imports in the ContentDiskDriver class are resolved it seems to me).

user@host /cygdrive/c/Alfresco/sdk
$ for i in $(find . -name "*.zip" ) ; do unzip -l $i | grep jlan ; done

user@host /cygdrive/c/Alfresco/sdk
$ for i in $(find . -name "*.jar" ) ; do jar tvf $i | grep jlan ; done

user@host /cygdrive/c/Alfresco/sdk
$ grep -ri jlan .
Binary file ./bin/Win32NetBIOS.dll matches
Binary file ./bin/Win32NetBIOSx64.dll matches
Binary file ./bin/Win32Utils.dll matches
Binary file ./bin/Win32Utilsx64.dll matches


So it just looks, as if there are no jlan classes or configurations in the SDK.

Is there anything I haven't understand correctly in the howto about installing the SDK?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi again

the best problems are the ones you can solve yourself. The solution was pretty simple
Checking out SVN, going to projects/alfresco-jlan and calling

ant createJar

Important that generated jar seems to have solved my current problem.

Well, I'm still not done with the SDK it seems. After getting the former stuff working, I now stopped at the following problem:

I get the same incompatibleClassChangeError when executing the foundationexample. Do I use the wrong spring version (the jar file) - I am using the 2.0.2 version from the SDK?

Thanks for any hints!

Hi

though it is somewhat boring to answer my own questions, any step I come closer to a running SDK might be interesting for others as well. However I still could not get the SDK running. It seems that the afresco-jlan.jar is not the right jar due to source code differences with the SDK. When using Java6 I get additionally the following error message which helps a lot:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface org.alfresco.config.ConfigElement, but class was expected

In the SDK org.alfresco.config.ConfigElement is an interface, whereas in the SVN inside the alfresco-jlan project it is a normal class.

So, this did not seem to be the way to go I guess… slowly I am somewhat running out of ideas 🙂

I had this alfresco jlan problem too. To solve it I downloaded the Alfresco-Labs-3a.r1032-Mini-Setup.exe. Installed it and took the alfresco-jlan-embed.jar from there. It can be found in the tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\lib directory. I think you'll also find it in the other Alfresco Labs 3a distributions (but obviously not in the sdk).

Hello,

you have to checkout the alfresco-source code from SVN. There you find "alfresco-jlan"
