Registering WCM-forms without GUI

[pyppe]

Hi.

We've got WCM Forms (aka. Web Forms) defined in XSD files. Is there another way of registering/deploying these schemas, other than using the Alfresco Web Client (Data Dictionaries -> Web Forms -> Create Web Form).

I'd like to bundle these files for example in a JAR-file, and then just copy them to Alfresco – so that every time our schemas get updated or we add new schemas (we're in development phase at the moment) we do not have manually upload new files through the Web GUI.

Thanks!

You can export Web Forms (including the XSD, metadata, FTL(s) if any and XSL(s) if any) into an ACP file, and then import those ACPs into any number of target environments, either manually (via the UI) or programmatically (via the command line import tool [1] or the import APIs [2]).

Cheers,
Peter
