These instructions will walk through what is needed when upgrading a Repository AMP
project from using SDK version 2.1.0 to using SDK version 2.1.1.
There are multiple ways to go about an SDK upgrade. These instructions assume that
you have a Repository AMP project where the source code is managed by a Software
Configuration Management (SCM) system such as Git or Subversion. And you cannot just
through away the history of this project, you need to upgrade "in-place". On the other
hand, if your project is small, and you don't mind starting with a new project in the
SCM, it might be easier to just generate a new project from the Repository AMP 2.1.1 SDK archetype and move
the code and other changes over to it from the SDK 2.1.0 project, but this method is not
covered in this article.
Note: In the following instructions the
REPO_AMP_PROJECT_PATH variable denotes the path to where you
have your Repository AMP project folder. So, for example, if your Repository AMP
project was generated in the
C:\alfresco-extensions\acme-repo-amp directory, then this
directory path is the value of this variable.
Important: Make sure you have made a complete backup of your project before
you start the upgrade process!
-
Setting the SDK Version to 2.1.1.
In the IDE, open up the {REPO_AMP_PROJECT_PATH}/pom.xml project file. Scroll down so you see the parent section. Then update it to look as follows:
<parent> <groupId>org.alfresco.maven</groupId> <artifactId>alfresco-sdk-parent</artifactId> <version>2.1.1</version> </parent> -
Updated the commented out Alf Data location value.
In the same project file update the property SkyVault.data.location as follows:
<properties> <!-- The following are default values for data location, SkyVault Community version. Uncomment if you need to change (Note. current default version for Enterprise edition is 5.0.1) <alfresco.version>5.0.d</alfresco.version> <alfresco.data.location>/absolute/path/to/alf_data_dev</alfresco.data.location> --> -
Update version numbers and add a comment to the demo component bean
definition.
In the {REPO_AMP_PROJECT_PATH}/src/main/amp/config/alfresco/module/repo-amp/context/service-context.xml project file update as follows:
<!-- A simple module component that will be executed once. Note. this module component will only be executed once, and then there will be an entry for it in the Repo. So doing for example $ mvn clean install -Prun twice will only execute this component the first time. You need to remove /alf_data_dev for it to be executed again. --> <bean ... <property name="sinceVersion" value="1.0" /> <property name="appliesFromVersion" value="1.0" /> ... </bean>
Your Repository AMP project should now be fully updated to use the 2.1.1 version of
the SDK.
