Seam Client for Alfresco rivet

[rivetlogic]

SCAr

SCAr (Seam Client for Alfresco rivet) is a production-ready demo application for accessing an Alfresco document management repository. SCAr is built with JBoss Richfaces, JBoss Seam and RAAr (http://wiki.rivetlogic.org/display/RAAR/).

A demo site can be accessed at http://scar.rivetlogic.com.

SCAr lives here:

Feel free to ask questions about SCAr in this thread.

I see. That's the problem. RAAr also has a compatibility matrix with Alfresco version which you can find here:

http://wiki.rivetlogic.com/display/RAAR/Compatibility+Matrix

The reason this is the case is because sometimes the Alfresco Foundation Services' APIs change from one release to the next.

We would need to release a new version of SCAr that uses RAAr 1.9.0 in order for it to work with Alfresco 3.0.x

Is this something you need soon?

Yes, I need to give a 'proof of concept' demo by 2nd week of January.
My original plan was to use the Alfresco UI, but there is too much unwanted functionality in it.

SCAr has a very neat UI compared to Alfresco and I would like to implement it.

What is the best possible ETA?

[rivetlogic]

We'll do our best to try and push it out this week. I'll post on this thread when I have an update.

Hi,

We just released SCAr 1.0.3 which works with Alfresco 3.0.x using RAAr 1.9.0.

You can download it here: http://wiki.rivetlogic.com/display/SCAr/Downloads

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

I am still getting the following error

May be it is because of wrong config inside app-config.xml

<repository-config>
   <repository-url>http://p1-alfresco:8080/alfresco</repository-url>
   <repository-public-url>http://p1-alfresco:8080/alfresco</repository-public-url>
   <repository-root-location>/app:company_home</repository-root-location>
   <std-folders-location>/app:company_home/app:dictionary/app:space_templates</std-folders-location>
</repository-config>


How do I find out repository-root-location and std-folders-location?


Reg,

Amitoj.

My Alfresco Node Reference is

workspace://SpacesStore/11f9c67b-405e-4ff8-9842-6557c97b0d40


and Home folder path is

/Company Home/User Homes/MilkyWay


or is it the Unix path to alf_data?

/opt/Alfresco/alf_data

[rivetlogic]

Hi,

Your app-config.xml file looks ok. The paths used in that file are the same one you use in Alfresco lucene queries.

The error you're getting is this:

11:51:53,840 ERROR [TreeUtil] A CMA runtime exception occurred:
com.rivetlogic.core.cma.exception.CmaRuntimeException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.Acc
essPermission.getPosition()I

getPoisition() is a new method added in Alfresco 3.0 which implies that you're not using RAAr 1.9.0.

The versions you should be using are:

Alfresco 3.0
RAAr 1.9.0 AMP
SCAr Alfresco 1.0.3 AMP
SCAr 1.0.3

Are these the versions you're using?

Also make sure when you apply the amps to use the -verbose argument to make sure the AMPs are being installed correctly.

The versions I am using are correct

I re-installed the Alfresco 3.0 with the two AMPs RAAr and SCAr I downloaded today.
Also re-installed SCAr.

Hi,

We looked into this issue and found that Alfresco's 3.0 Community version (downloaded from the Alfresco website) is missing the following method:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.AccessPermission.getPosition()

This method is available in the Enterprise version which is what we test RAAr against.

It seems that your options are:

- Get a free trial Alfresco Enterprise 3.0 version for your proof of concept

OR

- Checkout the HEAD of the Alfresco Community source from SVN and verify that this method is there, then compile/build alfresco.war

Hope this helps,
