Eclipse-Alfreso different machines

[iruizdeeguilaz]

Hello

I would like to know whether it is possible to configure an ecplipse applitacion in different machine and how to put it in the alfresco-global.properties  dir.root…

I have imported skd 4.0 and I am using a comunnity version 4.0 to my first steps….

Thanks

while I was waiting for a response about this issue I tried other thing, a opencmis example; I got a example from a public svn with two java classes and a pom.xml, I execute the pom to get the maven dependences, I a changed the url and the user/pass and I was able to connet with my Alfresco repository….. I only had a problem with a jar but it was easy to solve (slf4j-nop-1.7.5.jar)….

I am thinking that opnecmis looks easier

I will have to make a html form to upload documents with their metadata… managing the sessions, and searching in the repository….
perhaps the most suitable way is opencmis….

do you agree?

thanks

I suggest you write your questions more clearly.

And don't hijack your own threads.

ok

firstable, I got the sdk of Alfresco 4.0 and I tried to make a connection with my repostiroty from a Java application/eclipse. one of the fisrst things you have to do is configure alfresco-global.properties: there is a line called : dir.root…. all examples show how to do it when you have the eclipse in the same machine than the alfresco…. it was my first question

the second one was that I tried with the openCMIS client and it was easier… I did a little java app and I was able to upload a document with a custome type and a custom aspect… (create sessopn, create folder, create a document, define metadata)
I will have to do a java Web application (it is an existing one that I have to add a new tab) where the users can upload documents,changes and deletes…and they can make a litle searchs bassed in some metadata… I am new in Alfresco, in my first steps I feel that opencmis could be a good way to develop what I need…….

do you use opencmis to do this kind of things???? this was my second question…

Dir root could point to a mapped drive.     However when developing you probably also want to start/stop/debug and reconfigure tomcat which is easiest if it is running locally.

Yes.  Open CMIS is the preferred remote API.
