Tomcat 'web-extension' folder missing

[jeremy]

Hi.

I have been trying to configure Share so that the options "Google Docs Document", "Google Docs Spreadsheet", and "Google Docs Presentation" appear in the "Create Content" menu.

The articles that I have read on how to do this configuration (e.g. forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=26879) say that the file share-config-custom.xml needs to be altered.

This file (share-config-custom.xml) is supposed to be in the folder tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\web-extension. However, this 'web-extension' folder does not exist in my tomcat installation.

I have searched the Tomcat directory for the share-config-custom.xml file and it isn't there.

I build Alfresco via NetBeans, using revision 22371 (so my version is later than 3.3g). Alfresco builds successfully.

I think that the build of Alfresco should produce the 'web-extension' folder in the Tomcat installation, and that this folder should contain the share-config-custom.xml file, but it isn't happening.

Thanks.

If the folder isn't there then create it.

The build should create it though, shouldn't it ?

It's not clear cut since that folder is outside the control of the webapp.   
Yes if you are using the installer which is installing tomcat containing Share, then it should set it up and I think there's already a
JIRA issue on that.

However for development you could have installed tomcat with your own shared class path,
or if you are going purely with the default settings then you don't need that folder at all.
