Hi,

Were the patches for the Tabbed Property Sheet applied to SVN?

I am interested in adding the tabs to my Alfresco.

Thanks, Mark

Hi,
we are pleased to hear that you've started to use some components "with minor changes". Even more that you are willing to contribute your patches. If you could attach them to a post here, I'm sure they will be useful.

As for the missing classes, you are right, they are related to custom features of ours:
- BrowseBean is responsible for incorporating some property values of objects into their name in the web client. Which means that if a "Person" node has properties "firstname=John" and "lastname=Doe", you'll end up seeing "John Doe" in the Alfresco Web Client instead of the usual hex-code id, if was the configuration for "Person". That what can be seen on the wiki: http://www.side-labs.org/wiki/index.php/Features:Alfresco:Components#BlueXML_Browse_Component
- LucenceUtils (I'm doing a little bit of guessing here) is for searching nodes based on the properties.
- the other classes exist because 1- we added support for association classes and 2- we offered the possibility to replicate the metadata/properties of objects into a database separated from the Alfresco database. That replication database is created from what is put in the models, i.e. if you have data types "Person" and "Company", you'll easily find the corresponding tables in the replication database, with specific column names (for instance, "firstname" and "lastname") and know what objects exist, etc. Which is not that easy using the Alfresco database. That's the database that we are querying.

The main purpose of the missing classes was to make using association classes possible.

For Alfresco 3.2, we removed the association classes (and bringing them back is an issue still open for discussion), in part because of the amount of work and the complexity. So I do not recommend you head for those classes. If you're not into association classes, you're better off without them.

How does the associationEditor class compile when you remove the import directives ?

We'll get back to you for the availability of the classes.

Thanks,

First, for the instructions for the TabbedPropertySheet to be complete, you will also have to add the following to the web-client-config-custom.xml:

Code:

I have now incorporated your very nice looking TabbedPropertySheetComponent into my code base. I had to do some minor changes, the first one was probably related to me running 3.2 and that the component was built for Alfresco 2. The other change I did was to keep track of which tab is selected during a roundtrip to the server. This behaviour was present in the old forge component, and I had the need for it so I imlemented it.

I know you are not supporting this code anymore, but I still wonder if you want my me to create a patch of my changes as a contribution for you?

My next thing will be to incorporate your AssociationEditor. Unfortunatly, the code present in the svn-repository are missing some classes. The following imports are missing:

Code:

import com.bluexml.alfresco.modules.browse.BrowseBean;

import com.bluexml.alfresco.externalUpdater.SQLUpdater;

import com.bluexml.alfresco.modules.associationSynchronization.NodeService;

import com.bluexml.alfresco.utils.LuceneUtils;

import com.bluexml.alfresco.dataLayer.sql.SQLRequester;

import com.bluexml.alfresco.externalUpdater.DatabaseDictionary;

I suspect your Sql-related classes could be some custom stuff to your product? Or are you querying the Alfresco tables?

Anyway, it would be great if you could provide me with those missing classes, I can then try to make them work in Alfresco 3.2 and contribute the changes back to you.

Au revoir
/Erik

Hi billerby,

To be complete, if you want to activate custom association editor. You can define a file callled "faces-config-custom.xml" and to write :

Code:

                              "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">

      org.alfresco.faces.AssociationEditor

      org.alfresco.bluexml.UICustomAssociationEditor

      org.alfresco.faces.ChildAssociationEditor

      org.alfresco.bluexml.UICustomChildAssociationEditor

After, if you want to use tabs :

Yes I'm very interested.

I only need an xml-configuration example for the tabbed property sheet. The old one seems to have been replaced in order to conform to the Yahoo-tabView javascript components that you are using for the rendering.

Thanks

Hi,
unfortunately, we don't support anymore these components based on Alfresco Web Client.

Nevertheless, I'm going to look after the author's module to ask him more details.

Are you also interested by the other modules?

Re: source code to jsf components

billerby — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:47:50 +0100

Hi again,

Since the configuration of the tabbed property sheet seems to be totally different in the svn-version compared to the one described here "http://www.side-labs.org/wiki/index.php/Features:Alfresco:Components#BlueXML_Association_Editor_Component" I wonder if there is any documentation of how to configure the tabs properly. By looking at the TabPanelsElementReader I notice a lot of new elements, and attributes and a lot of missing ones compared to the docs on the webpage mentioned above.

Just a point in the right direction would make my day

Thanks!

Re: source code to jsf components

billerby — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:56:34 +0100

Thanks,

This is great. I'm stuck with the Alfresco Explorer in my current development project, and we have a lot of metadata to edit and a lot of associations. I have already made use of the PropertySheet-component from the forge-project where it was originally posted. I however noticed that the component breaks the client side validation. This is because of how the parent property sheet component was written and I have submitted a contribution patch to Alfresco (https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-1947) that in conjunction with a small fix in the tabbed property sheet component fixes that. I dont know if you guys ever made the client side validation work in your adaptation? Otherwise I can contribute that code (It looks like Alfresco will commit my patch in 3.3 - that is what I hope anyway).

Next week I will try to use your AssociationEditor with 3.2, and if something breaks I promise to contribute the changes needed to get it fixed (that is if I succeed

Have a nice weekend.

Hi,
you will find at the following url the code corresponding to these modules:
* http://www.side-labs.org/svn/SIDE-Labs/trunk/1.0/

Please feel free to change it and to contribute. It would be a great thing for your karma

What do you want to do exactly? We didn't port it on Alfresco 3.2 because we don't use Alfresco web client anymore, we only use Alfresco share now. What are your requirements?

Hi,

In this webpage http://www.side-labs.org/wiki/index.php ... _Component

it says "This components make available to all and are free."

Where can I find those components? I'm really interested in the source code of your Association Editor and if there are compatibility issues with version 3.2 of Alfresco I'm willing to adapt them to make them work.

Thanks

Re: Problem with quick start tutorial

pcb — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:24:20 +0100

When updating BlueXML plugins, uncheck the option "Show the latest version of a feature only". Then you can choose ONLY 1.2.60 for Alfresco generator...

FranckTlse — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:48:05 +0100

I'll wait for the new SLAM version to be available, thank you for the quick and precise answer.

Re: Problem with quick start tutorial

pcb — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:06:13 +0100

Well...

I see two problems :

- Firstly, we're releasing a new version of SLAM that you'll have to download and use. This one is compatible with latest generator version.

- We made a mistake by publishing 1.2.61 generator version on the update site. You must downgrade it and use 1.2.60.

How ?

On Eclipse (BlueXML Developer Studio), Help menu - Software updates - Manage configuration
Browse to BlueXML Alfresco Generation and click on "Replace with another version". Then choose an anterior one, ideally 1.2.60.
But it's not enough into access and detect last version by update function. In your file browser, go to Eclipse directory. In "features", delete "org.bluexml.generator.alfresco_1.2.60" directory, AND in "plugins", delete "org.bluexml.alfresco.generator_1.2.60.jar".

Then update the bluexml plugins and find 1.2.60 version... With new SLAM (available in a few hours on our sourceforge space), it normally works well !

We're trying to set a release process linking SLAM with our generators into avoid these mistakes...

Re: Problem with quick start tutorial

FranckTlse — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:34:08 +0100

Cleaning temp and work do remove the error messages, Thanks for the fast answer.

Yet, it does not work and I am not able to associate contents to the new data types defined in Blue XML studio. Not sure how to troobleshoot that.

I downloaded the latest version of SLAM available.

Blue XML Alfresco Generator is version 1.2.61

Are these versions incompatible ? I didn't know I was not supposed to update

What version of alfreso generator should I use with SLAM ? Or is it better not to be using SLAM for now, and use the latest version of alfresco generator ?

Re: Problem with quick start tutorial

pcb — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:16:22 +0100

Hi,

This may come from several points :

- Firstly, shutdown SLAM and delete "temp" and "work" directories. Start SLAM and see... IO errors often come from the shutdown failure of Tomcat (Tomcat 5.5 is unstable for shuting down).

If it still not working, i need more informations :

- Which SLAM version do you use (2.0.1 is the last available one).

- In BlueXML Developer Studio, what the Alfresco Generator version ?

Anyway, SLAM users must NOT update Alfresco generator (in BlueXML Developer Studio) with Update Site. SLAM is available for a range of generator versions, so we'll inform about that with next SLAM version.

Thanks for using BxDS

I encountered a problem running the Quick Start tutorial from the wiki (http://wiki.bluexml.com/index.php/Quick_Start)

I managed to generate the project and deploy it to Alfresco, but when restarting Alfresco I get some error messages :

Code:

13:01:35,668  ERROR [catalina.session.ManagerBase] "IOException" lors du chargement des sessions persistantes: java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: org.alfresco.web.ui.common.component.UIListItem

Has anyone else run into such problems ? For information I'm using the SLAM bundle with Alfreso+Liferay.

Hello,

I'm working on the last nigthly builds of Alfresco (the future 3.0 version).
There is a problem with BlueXMl libraries, which are calling org.alfresco.web.ui.common.Utils.getFileTypeImage instead of org.alfresco.repo.web.scripts.FileTypeImageUtils.getFileTypeImage ...

Are you working on a branch of blueXML for ALfresco 3.0 ? If not is it possible to acces your source repository to make a patched version ?

Re: Cannot seem to get quickstart tutorial running

jckermagoret — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:04:20 +0200

Hi,
* Select your obl file, do a right-click and choose "Deploy Alfresco Configuration";
* Select "Copy to Alfresco Installation Foolder" and, normally, everything is directly copied to Alfresco;
* Restart Alfresco and everything should be fine

When in Deploy Alfresco Configuration dialog window, you will see your Alfresco Configuration in Eclipse. If paths are wrong, go to Windows/Preference/BlueXML and adapt it to suit your needs.

Re: Cannot seem to get quickstart tutorial running

bchevallereau — Mon, 26 May 2008 14:55:54 +0200

Hi,

When you click on the obl file to deploy, in the new dialog, you can choose options like "Copy" or "Delete". If you unselect "Copy" and "Delete", you have a new folder in "Alfresco Configuration" containing all generated files (and next moved on your alfresco installation).

The destination folder is the tomcat folder, so by default :

For Windows : c:\alfresco\tomcat
For Linux/Mac : /opt/alfresco/tomcat

Re: Cannot seem to get quickstart tutorial running

Asterion — Mon, 26 May 2008 14:46:58 +0200

I think the problem I am actually having (in my head) is exactly what files to copy where. The problem is always post deployment so I assume I am either copying the wrong files or copying to the wrong place.

Is there a list of exactly which files to copy to exactly which locations? I know it is inferred in the tutorial but the problem is making me feel like a newbee so feel free to treat me like one

Re: HTML Doc generation

Hi,

You are right, it's a bug . It is added to Bugzilla (http://www.bluexml.net/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=104) and it is fixed.

If you can't wait the next version, you can add the last link in the page overview-frame.html. You must add at the end of the file :

Code:

Re: HTML Doc generation

pcb — Thu, 15 May 2008 14:21:11 +0200

The first problem is OK : it's just the focus...

I tried your test suggestion and it's accurately matching the bug : I renamed 'Thesaurus' to 'AThesaurus' and i see it as a package link in the package frame. And my "new last alphabetical" item 'Tarif' doesn't appear in the package frame.. It may be a problem with a ending condition.

Thanks

PS: The problem is only the missed link in the package frame. The targeted page exists..

If the generation is performed, it's maybe a problem of focus.

It's curious. Can you chane the name of this package to see if it is generated ?

I have designed a model with many packages in it. All diagrams are contained in the same obldi files but in the matching "sub-package". I'd like to generate an HTML doc, so I first create an "allFiles.ref" REF file and then I right-click and launch the doc generation.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick answer. Perfect

Re: Operation in Class Diagram

bchevallereau — Wed, 14 May 2008 09:18:24 +0200

Hi,

A tab panel, called Options, is available in each dialog. This panel contains all meta-informations (extra informations) that can be added on the model. A meta-information called type is available on the concept of operation.

BlueXML Developer Studio is not a modeler for Alfresco. BlueXML Developer Studio is a modeler with an Alfresco generator. So all meta-informations are not used by the Alfresco generator. It's the case for this meta-information. We think to add profile on BlueXML Developer Studio to hide all un-used meta-informations for a target platform.

Actually, operations are generated as webscripts. We working on actually how to generate it as Alfresco action.

voorhees — Wed, 14 May 2008 09:04:40 +0200

Hello,

I'm trying a little bit to develop class diagrams with BlueXML Developer Studio for Alfresco...
When I create an operation on a class and I click on options, I have the choice between two types which are button or
action.

I didn't find any example on this kind of use and I would like to know what is really possible to create in Alfresco with this ?

What I'm looking for is to define Alfresco actions through BlueXML Developer Studio...

Thanks for your answers.
