I've just started to investigation Alfresco and firstly I've tried to deploy example of custom aspect from SDK into working Alfresco application.
So, what I've done:
1. Built custom-aspect.jar (using Ant)
2. Stopped Tomcat (alf_stop.bat)
3. Copied custom-aspect.jar into 'tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\lib'
4. Started Tomcat (alf_start.bat)
5. When Tomcat had started, I checked that custom-aspect.jar file is still exists in WEB-INF\lib folder (just in order to be sure).
But I didn't find that new aspect was added. What I've done:
1. Login into web client as admin.
2. Navigated into "My Home" space.
3. Tried to add new rule for all items with action "add aspect to item".
4. I expected to find added aspect ("contenthits") in the list but didn't find it. Why?
Please, help me to find my mistake.
