Type not supported error with custom content

[monitloth]

I would like to create a folder, which is a custom folder type (memo:myproject). I get the following error:

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: The type is not supported by this service: {http://www.memo.com/model/content/1.0}myproject

My memo-model-context.xml file is correct.
memoModel.xml:

I did not test if this model is read by Alfresco, because now I want to create it to test it.
It is a folder derived type. If there is some other way (like node browser), please tell.

In my code

FileInfo fileInfo = this.getFileFolderService().create(
            this.navigator.getCurrentNode().getNodeRef(), projName,
            QName.createQName(MyProjectModel.NAMESPACE_MEMO_CONTENT_MODEL, "myproject"));
‍‍‍‍‍

And I get the following by JSF:

The type is not supported by this service: {http://www.memo.com/model/content/1.0}myproject
‍‍‍

It should a simple error.

Thanks.

Hi,
What version are you using.  The FileFolderService does a check on the hierarchy

        if (dictionaryService.isSubClass(typeQName, ContentModel.TYPE_FOLDER))
        {
            if (dictionaryService.isSubClass(typeQName, ContentModel.TYPE_SYSTEM_FOLDER))
            {
                return FileFolderServiceType.SYSTEM_FOLDER;
            }
            return FileFolderServiceType.FOLDER;
        }

Version 3b CE. Hmm

Hi,
I've just written a unit test to double-check this and I can confirm that the subtype check works.  My conclusion is that the type has not been registered with the dictionary.  Do you have a custom-model-context.xml (copied from our custom-model-context.xml.sample) in your extensions folder; have you fixed it up to point to your custom model?
Regards

[monitloth]

Here it is (memo-model-context.xml):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<beans>
    <!– Registration of new models –>
    <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
        <property name="models">
            <list>
                <value>alfresco/extension/memoModel.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

When I change the location of the memoModel.xml in memo-model-context.xml. I get the same. So, I have no XML parsing error. It can be that it is not registered, in the console at startup I get no notification of this.
I think the problem can be in memoModel.xml. Because I based on "scModel.xml" from http://ecmarchitect.com/, which worked.

Thanks

Hi,
Your model looks right.  Switch on debugging in WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties:

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.dictionary.DictionaryDAOImpl=DEBUG‍

Regards

[monitloth]

No notification. I will look at the the working example to figure out why it doesn't work. It should be some code forgotten, misplaced in XML. Thanks.

[derek]

The first thing to do is to put some rubbish (invalid XML) into your custom XML context file.  If that breaks things, then you'll know that the bean is being loaded.  Also, ensure that you don't have multiple custom model loaders.  You should list the models to load in the single location.

[monitloth]

Ok, I got it.

I had 2 "-context.xml" files. The first was read. By including the two in the same file, I got errors and now it works.

A few notes:
I also used a jar files where configuration files where added, so I had two of the same models and other sort of configurations. If I understand it good, the jar files have priority. So make attention for this, if you have an error.

The "web-client-config-custom.xml" must be placed in the extension folder, as default configured in "web-client-application-context.xml".

Great, thanks
