Integrating Alfresco Web Client as a set of portlets with Liferay

Could you check the url? I can't reach the Cignex site...

Hi Peter, thank you! The server liferay.cignex.com was down (in last weekend - due to hardware issue). It will be up as soon as possible.

The server liferay.cignex.com is up now. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Server is down. By the way, you're writing a very much awaited wiki article emoticon

Hi Damitry, thanks. The server is up now. Yes, the server has an hardware issue. It is planning to use another server - more stable and robust box - same URL: liferay.cignex.com

Hope that the wiki articles would be helpful.

Hi Damitry, as promised, the server liferay.cignex.com was updated with 64-bit OS Linux (RedHat), 8G available memory. It should be stable and robust. Please inform me if you find any performance issue related.

Hi Jonas,
can it be, that this only works for the enterprise versions and not for Alfresco Community edition. ? I tried both approaches as described here with liferay 5.2.3, TOmcat 6 on java 1.6.0.14. and Alf 3.2 Community. I still get this classcast exception
...
18:49:30,204 ERROR [PortletHotDeployListener:663] java.lang.ClassCastException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException cannot be cast to org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException cannot be cast to org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext

Would be great, if you could check it out

Hi Norgan, thank you. Interesting ... it should work for Alfresco 3.2 community version too. Is the Alfresco E 3.1 working for you? I did not have a package for Alfresco 3.2 community version yet. But I will have it when Alfresco 3.2 E version is ready.

Is it urgent for you? will you use Alfresco 3.2 community version only? It would be nice to know your requirements.

Thanks.

Hi Jonas, I dont have an enterprise license. What I need is 3.1 or 3.2, I think the enterprise version does not have the workflow API yet.

Please sign in to reply.

Oops, I did test 2.1, the same error shows up emoticon

So it must be something I am doing wrong - maybe the java version.

found another exception btw :

PropertyAccessException 2:
org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [org.alfresco.repo.search.MLAnalysisMode] for property 'defaultMLSearchAnalysisMode'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported value: EXACT_LANGUAGE_AND_ALL

Does that look more familiar ?

Hi Norgan, Thanks. Interesting issues ...

You may try the following. You would have everything in this package. :-)
"Or, you can use the result WAR directly: download WAR from http://liferay.cignex.com/palm_tree/0387/sso/liferay/alfresco-portlet/alfresco.war and deploy it in $LIFERAY_HOME/deploy. That’s it."

Please let me know if you meet any issues.

Hi Norgan, Thanks. The JDK I build the WAR is 1.6.0_14. You would need to use JDK 1.6.0_14 or above. I should update the same in blog entry. Please change your JDK version to 1.6.0_14 or above.

Jonas thanks for you effort in putting this together.

Not sure if there is a better place for this. Let me know if there is.

I tried your "Alfresco 3.1 E, LDAP ADS and SSO CAS" on your demo page.

After starting it I get :

Even though I've set the dir.root directory in the WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/repository.properties file.

Also your log4j.properties in WEB-INF/classes is CRLF, LF which the parser does not seem to like.

Yes, did not see that. So that got be further. I now am stuck at the same problem as below...

And when I hit login in the alfresco portlet I get...

Hi James, Do you get it fixed?

I've also tried your 10 step method above but have these problems...

Needed util*jar from liferay's WEB-INF/lib copied into alfresco's WEB-INF/lib

http://10.10.1.218:8080/alfresco/ gives me this now...

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Factories configured for this Application. This happens if the faces-initialization does not work at all - make sure that you properly include all configuration settings necessary for a basic faces application and that all the necessary libs are included. Also check the logging output of your web application and your container for any exceptions!
If you did that and find nothing, the mistake might be due to the fact that you use some special web-containers which do not support registering context-listeners via TLD files and a context listener is not setup in your web.xml.
A typical config looks like this;
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>

Wow this is way awesome, thank you for this

I have a little problem, Document List and My spaces portlets display an error HTTP 500 instead, I saw some errors on console while the war deployed so i guess they are related

Can you add some explanation on the wiki about what the war did, as you do with many things on your book? I don't know where all this portlets came from and why it all works emoticon

Thanks again

Hi Pablo, Thank you. Did you get the issue fixed?

More details about Alfresco integration would be addressed in the book: Liferay Portal 5.3 Enterprise Intranets. Hope that it would help.

Please sign in to reply.

Well, I couldn't fix why 2 of 6 portlets didn't worked, I assumed it was a problem with my 5.3 code from trunk, which is giving me several problems

I'll try again and let you know as soon as I can

I followed the ten setps above to modify Alfresco3.2 R2 Community Edition, but it fails to show up in the 'Add Application' list. Was there something else you implemented in the alfresco.war?

Please sign in to reply.

Jonas Yuan Will Wu

Hi Will, you may try this:

Or, you can use the result WAR directly: download WAR from http://liferay.cignex.com/palm_tree/0387/sso/liferay/alfresco-portlet/alfresco.war and deploy it in $LIFERAY_HOME/deploy. That’s it. Note that use JDK 1.6.0_14 or above.

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Pablo, you may not use 5.3 trunk - it is unstable at moment.

Please sign in to reply.

Hi again,

I wanted to share something that might be weird, probably a mistake of mine but I can't explain this

my company wants to use oracle for liferay, and Mysql for alfresco 3.2 community, because community does not support use of oracle 10XE as I read on their forums.

When Liferay loads it shows it is using oracle10g dialect and all good, but when I deploy alfresco as portlets, this message changes to MySQL dialect

I thought it was a printing error because Liferay runs perfectly and using the oracle DB, but I found that when you deploy new portlets from SDK, the portlets will display an error because they couldn't create their tables... surprisingly I remove alfresco, the dialect message goes back to oracle10g and the portlet deploys correctly

resuming, it seems that although it doesn't affect Liferay it does affect new portlets which need to execute queries

any idea of what's happening?

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Pablo, good catch. Thanks. This would be a bug. I am trying to reproduce the issue and come back to you shortly.

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Jonas, you had any luck reproducing it? It would point to be a bug from the dialect detector right?

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Pablo, sorry that I could not find time to work on this recently. Hope that I could do it as earlier as possible.

Please sign in to reply.

Hi, Jonas,
I have the same problems with Int In and James Arnott. I got the following messages after following your instructions.
Also, I tried your suggestions to create database alfresco from scratch, and remove existing alf_data. Unfortunately it's still the same.
I am using the alfresco.war from http://liferay.cignex.com/palm_tree/book/0387/chapter13/full-integration/ and liveray community version 6.02. LDAP and CAS are working fine.
Do you have any solutions for this?

Thanks!

Hi Jonas, at first a big thank you for the article.
I finally managed it to get Alfresco 3.2 (CE) and Liferay 6.0.2 up and running (without CAS and/or LDAP, still workin on that).
But i only have one portlet "Alfresco Client Portlet". The others don´t show up.

Hi Jonas, thank you for your answer.

It turns out, that i have Alfresco 3.3(CE) and Web Scripts are now a part of Spring Surf (see http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=27373). Don´t know what that means or what to do now.
Now i am looking for help how to integrate the 3.3 webscripts in Liferay 6.

Please sign in to reply.

Ace Man Ace Man

Ok. 1 step further:
In the portlet.xml i changed all refences from "org.alfresco.web.scripts.portlet.WebScriptPortlet" to "org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.portlet.WebScriptPortlet".
Now i am able to add the webscripts in Liferay. But when i add a Portlet then the stylesheet and code gets displayed in the portlet emoticon

I think i have to use an old version of Alfresco.

Hi Ace, Thanks. It should work well when using alfresco 3.3. Do you get this fixed?

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Jonas,
It was a nice article. We are considering liferay as our portal. But we are using open text as our CMS. You mentioned that we can integrate any CMIS compliant CMS in this way. Do we have any instruction on how to integrate with opne text using CMIS?

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Brian, thanks. Of course, you would be able to integrate OpenText using CMIS in Liferay portal 6. You may refer to this blogs: http://www.liferay.com/web/jonas.yuan/blog/-/blogs/integrating-alfresco-through-cmis-in-liferay

Dear All,

i'm trying my first steps on using Alfresco + Liferay, i'm really new to the world of both. And quite lost.

I was trying to have something working to then explore it. But fail to do so.

i have downloaded : liferay-portal-5.2.3

and created databases as explained :

create database alfresco character set utf8;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;
grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;

Alfresco.war was downloaded from => http://www.liferay.com/web/jonas.yuan/blog/-/blogs/integrating-alfresco-web-client-as-a-set-of-portlets-with-liferay

and i copy this file un "<LIFERAY>"/deploy

accessing http://localhost:8081/alfresco/

produce a page containing Alfresco error message : see below,

also blow is the content of the Alfresco.log, if that could help.

many thanks for any help,

best regards.

If you did that and find nothing, the mistake might be due to the fact that you use some special web-containers which do not support registering context-listeners via TLD files and a context listener is not setup in your web.xml.
A typical config looks like this;
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>

Hi Int In,

Make sure that you have created database alfresco from scratch, and remove existing alfresco /alf_data.

Hi,
I have been using liferay 5.2.3 and I followed all the 10 steps as described above..alfresco is running but I am not able to included it as a portlet in liferay...am I doing something wrong?

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Sultan, thanks. Do you get any kind of error message?

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Jonas,
I did it for your 10 steps plan. But when I trying to invoke http://localhost:8080/alfresco, the following System Error appears:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No Factories configured for this Application. This happens if the faces-initialization does not work at all - make sure that you properly include all configuration settings necessary for a basic faces application and that all the necessary libs are included. Also check the logging output of your web application and your container for any exceptions!
If you did that and find nothing, the mistake might be due to the fact that you use some special web-containers which do not support registering context-listeners via TLD files and a context listener is not setup in your web.xml.
A typical config looks like this;
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>

Can you help me with this problem please?

Hi P Cache, thanks. This is due to different version of JSTL. Liferay 6 has upgraded JSTL version.

Upgrading JSTL version in alfresco portlets, you should be able to fix this issue.

Hope that this helps.

Please sign in to reply.

Hi Jonas, thanks for your fast response. I replaced JSTL-1.1.jar with JSTL-1.2.jarin alfresco portlet, but the error still appears. I'm using Liferay 6.0.4 and Alfresco 3.3. I bought your book "Liferay Portal 6 Enterprise Intranets" today. I followed all the steps you described there to integrate Alfresco as a set of portlets. Without success.

Here's the whole error message:

I can't imagine what the problem is. Do you have any idea?

Hi P Cache, you can take cleanup process and restart the portal. cleanup process is available in the book "Liferay Portal 6 Enterprise Intranets".

Hope that it helps,

Thanks

Unfortunately it doesn't work either after cleanup. There is no change in the error message. What's kinda strange is the error message that the required method public static EngineConfigurationFactory newFactory(Object) is missing, although the method is there.

Hi P Cache, Thanks. Alfresco UI is based on JSTL old version 1.1. But Liferay 6 supports JSTL latest version 1.2. I think that it would be better to update JSTL in Alfresco UI portlet. This can resolve the issue completely.

Hope that it helps,

What do you mean with update JSTL in Alfresco UI portlet. I replaced the JSTL-1.1.jar with JSTL-1.2.jar in <Alfresco-HOME>/WEB-INF/lib an build the war new. But this doesn't fix the problem. I also tried to adapt the DTD files in liferay-display.xml and liferay-portlet.xml from Version 5.2.0 to 6.0.0. But without am impact. I'm currently pretty helpless emoticon

Hi P Cache, you may need:

1)replaced the JSTL-1.1.jar with JSTL-1.2.jar;
2)change dependencies
portal-dependency-tlds=\c.tld
at liferay-plugin-package.properties

3) re-deploy the alfresco portlet

Hi Jonas,

I have the same problems as P Cache.
I did you said :
1)replaced the JSTL-1.1.jar with JSTL-1.2.jar;
2)change dependencies
portal-dependency-tlds=\c.tld
at liferay-plugin-package.properties

3) re-deploy the alfresco portlet

The error still remains.
Any more ideas ?

Thank you !
