Bootstrapping ModuleComponents with versions does not work

[kartech11]

Hi Alfresco Experts, 

Please can you tell me why bootstrapping is not working as expected? I am putting my share and platform jar under .

/opt/alfresco/app/alfresco/modules/share/ and /opt/alfresco/app/alfresco/modules/platform

Currently, I see that the first JAR (5.1 version) that I added got picked up by alfresco. I then added but the next versioned JAR (5.2) but that did not get picked up by alfresco. The logs do say that the jar version has been upgraded.  But I don't see the changes getting applied by alfresco.

1. I have tried both the ImporterModuleComponents with the same moduleId but different versions ((higher version to the previous) - This does not work

2. I have also tried have different names and different version (higher version to the previous) - This also does not work

3. I also added a depends On with the higher version dependent on the lower version. This also does not work

Once a patch has been applied to an Alfresco installation, it's not applied anymore.

You should change "moduleId" value in order to be loaded.

I changed the moduleId to a different name and also increased the version., but that did not import the new module with the higher version. Not sure what I am missing here.

Have you tried with...

 <property name="executeOnceOnly" value="false" />

?

[kartech11]

But won't that try executing the module every time alfresco starts up? That will cause issues if my importer is bootstrapping content model or sites for example, isn't it?

[angelborroy]

Yes.

You can also change your strategy and use "org.alfresco.repo.admin.patch.impl.GenericBootstrapPatch" instead.
