Developping a ECM Connector for LiveCycle Content Services ES

Hello everyone,
I few weeks ago, I saw that Adobe LiveCycle had many connector to store documents in a ECM Repository/Document Repository.
Article onhttp://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/connectors/ shows integration with ECM documentum, IBM filenet and IBM Content Manager.
I wonder why Adobe does not provide a connector to JSR 170 or JSR 283 : Content Repository for JavaTM Technology API Version 2.0.
JSR 283 is the java specification of documents and content repositories. It has many options. http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283
Do you have tested LiveCycle Content Services ES with the JSR 170 or 283 to create a connector and to store documents ?
Do you know where to find these exemples ?
Thank you very much.

Hello Steve,
Thank you for your answer.
My Content Repository in the one of RSD Folders. In fact, I could have a CMIS interface on it, but after a study, it happends that it will take a lot of time to me. And it is not excatly what I need, because we already have the JSR 170 level 1 compatibilty, with API compatible with JSR 170. ... But your idea is a good idea.
What I wanted, is a example ... but I have started with my API. That I use directly in the component. Adobe does not provide any example with JSR 170 or JSR 283 in order to create a Component. I think they should jave some examples with this.
PS: I also use Flex so we are nearly using the same technologies , lol
Thank you

LiveCycle ES Connector for IBM Content Manager connection problem

I've recently installed Adobe LiveCycle ES 8.2.1 and we're trying to get the Connector for IBM CM working. First off here's what software levels we're using:
LiveCycle ES 8.2.1
WebSphere Network Deployment 6.1.0.21
IBM HTTP Server 6.1.0.21
IBM DB2 UDB 9.1(FP 6a)
IBM Content Manager 8.4
IBM Information Integrator for Content 8.4
Java JRE 1.5(SR 8a)
Our application(s) connect to our databases remotely. The DBs reside on our z/OS(which is at level 8.1)
When I try and enter in the database/datastore info in the Connector fields under services I get this error in LiveCycle
Failed to save settings.
Error: Not able to validate the connection with the IBM CM. Either credentials or database is wrong.For more information see the exception stack trace.
and I see the following in the SystemOut.log

The server can connect via DB2/command line to the z/OS without a problem and the datasources within WebSphere test connect to the databases without any problem as well. Any help is much appreciated. I can provide any additional details upon request.
Thank you in advance

Nick,
I am getting the exact same error. I have tried installing Adobe Livecycle 8 on two separate machines and they both give the same problem. In viewing at the logs, it seems that the IBM CM jar files are not being recognized by the Adobe installation. For me, I get the following logs as well in addition to what you see.

The DKDDO class is in the jar files that are inside II4C installation folder. I think that the file "adobe-component-ext.properties" that they ask us to create to reference the IBM CM jars is not being picked up by the Adobe Connectors for IBM CM. Do you see the " java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" in your logs? Any resolutions you had regarding this.
I even tried to copy the ibm jars to various paths and copied the props files ad various different locations. I am under the impression that the documentation may not have been updated for this change.

Developing Third Party Connectors for the Universal Worklist

Hi,
We need to develop a third party connector for the Universal worklist.
In order to retrieve the workflow items we want to use a web service that will be developed according our needs.
The documentation that I found regarding the UWL states that in terms of connectivity we can use Web based protocols such as HTTP and Web Services, but i couldn't find any example for this, besides the SONIC.
Has someone already developed a third party connector? Examples?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
José

Hi,
Have a look at these PDFs...

Configuring SharePoint Connector for LiveCycle

Hello,
I am having some trouble setting up the SharePoint connect for LiveCycle. When entering the user credentials in the configuration page, I get a 401 Unauthorized error from Share Point server. However, using the same credentials, I am able to log into the Share Point site successfully.
Both systems are sync'd to the same LDAP and I've followed the instructions quite closely from Configuring LiveCycle ES2 Connector for Microsoft SharePoint.
My settings are similarly as follows:
Server: sp.lkp.com:80
User: spuser
Password: *******
Domain: LKP
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?
The instructions for the server say:
SharePoint Server Host Name: The host name port number of the web application on the SharePoint server, in the format [hostname]:[port]. , should my link point to something more specific than just the server url?
Thanks in advance.

Should Basic Authentication be enabled as well even if I opt to use NTLM or Kerberos authentication?
I will check if it is enabled when I have a chance to check tomorrow.

Configuring Content Services ES2

HI,
ATt the Configuring Content Services ES2 screen in the Livecycle Configuration Manager,I want to configure it for Clustered environment and integrate with Documentum.
Please let me know what are the values that need to be given in the "Indexes Root Directory" and "Content Storage Root Directory"
Regards,
Leena

Leena:
The LiveCycle Content Services you are configuring here has nothing to do with Documentum. If you are trying to integrate LiveCycle with Documentum, you need to install and manually configure the LiveCycle ECM Connector for Documentum. More here:

Content services = full alfresco funtionality + LC -Services?

Is "LC Content Services ES" a complete Alfresco-Installation + Integration Services to LC Es?
Which version of Alfresco is included with LC ES Update 1?
Best regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
1. 0n which version of Alfresco is ContenSpace based?
Alfresco 2.1
2. Is the full functionailty of Alfresco available except changes made by Adobe? Which changes has been made by Adobe (not in detail but as topic list ) Can I rely on full Alfreso functionality as described and outlined by Alfresco if a license LC content space togehter with other LC components?
The features documented in the LiveCycle Content Services documentation are supported by Adobe and hence we recommend
you refer to the LiveCycle documentation.
The key differences between Content Services and Alfresco Enterprise Edition are:
- Web Content Management is not embedded/distributed.
- Replacement of jBPM with LiveCycle Process Management.
- Replacement of PDF libraries
- Security enhancements to ensure Single Sign on with other LiveCycle components such as Workspace and integration with LiveCycle user management.
- Support for the full LiveCycle 54 platform matrix including clustering/failover.
- Integration of LiveCycle Solution Components such as PDFG/Rights Management.
The key architecture of Alfresco in terms of Java APIs, ACPs, customization of content models, actions,etc.. stays the same.
Upcoming over the next few months are documentation updates specifically aimed for developers around the SDK and articles posted on the developer network which should bridge the current gap.
Please call Adobe Enteprise Support with any issues you have and they can help you.

ECM Connector + Turnkey Installation - Error with MySQL (NoClassDefFoundError)

Twice I have installed LiveCycle ES for JBoss Using Turnkey (following the documentation)... W2K3 Server, 2GB RAM, 32GB Hard Drive, Java 1.5.0.15.
The core services work good, but it's ECM Connector for Documentum that throws up an error. (Snippets of the server.log below)
I searched for aspectj.org namespace and it belongs to MySql. Am I supposed to copy a jar file somewhere? I searched the docs but couldn't find any mention.
Odd enough, the sample ECM Documentum Connector Services work, it's the standard ones that don't (Authentication, Connector, etc)
EMCDocumentumContentRepositoryConnector: 1.0 Stopped com.adobe.livecycle.ConnectorforEMCDocumentum 8.0.3188.1.83522.8
When I click start, I get internal error and server.log fills up with the class not found errors.
Any insight you could provide would great helpful.
Thanks in advance,

Client flex app for livecycle es2

Hi all,
I am working on developing Flex client app for LiveCycle ES2. I need to implement authentication&authorization services in flex app. As far as I know, there is no efficient way to implement it in Flex. (At least I have tried couple of example from forums, it did not work properly at all. Once the browser is refreshed, the application gets initialized again and the session get lost...)
As far as I know, LiveCycle Workspace is a Flex app. After login to that application and once the browser is refreshed, the session state is kept. It seems session management is achieved for that application.
Is there any way to handle the same in flex client app?..
thanks in advanace

Is there no answer to my question ??? OR I am at the wrong place ??

Classloading issues with Oracle AS 10.1.3.3 and Content Services 10.1.2.3

Hi,
Installed
Oracle Content Services 10.1.2.3 and Oracle AS (SOA Suite) 10.1.3.3.
Goal
Deploying custom webservices on the Oracle AS which invoke the Content Services webservices API. These custom webservices are invoked from ESB processes to upload content.
What does work
The pre-installed oc4j home of Oracle AS 10.1.3.3 has no pre-defined shared library for Oracle Content Services. So if we create a shared library containing the Oracle Content Services 10.1.2.3 jars (axis.jar, commons-discovery-0.2.jar, commons-logging-1.0.3.jar, content-ws-client.jar, http_client.jar and wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar) and include this shared library during deployment of our custom webservices, content is nicely uploaded without problems.
Problem
However, we created another oc4j instance (oc4j_services) on which these webservices should deployed and run instead of the oc4j home instance. This time Oracle AS already creates a pre-defined shared library for Content Services containing a 10.1.3 version. This library is not compatible with Content Services 10.1.2.3.
We tried to create another shared library with the same name (oracle.ifs.client) but another version number (10.1.2.3) and import it during deployment of our webservices (and exclude the 10.1.3 version), we also placed the Content Services 10.1.2.3 jars into the oc4j home applib and oc4j_services applib directory. Nonetheless, we either get a classnotfound or exceptioninitialization error.
Anyone has a solution to this?
Regards, Ronald

The log file shows:
ERROR [AJPRequestHandler-RMICallHandler-6]: oracle.classloader.util.AnnotatedNoClassDefFoundError:
     Missing class: oracle.ifs.fdk.RemoteLoginManagerServiceLocator
     Dependent class: oracle.ifs.examples.ws.WsConnection

     Configuration: <ejb> in /oracle/as_soa/j2ee/oc4j_services/applications/FAC_WS_Content_Services
The missing class is available from the following locations:
     1. Code-Source: /oracle/as_soa/j2ee/oc4j_services/shared-lib/oracle.ifs.client/10.1.2.3.0/content-ws-client.jar (from <code-source> in /oracle/as_soa/j2ee/oc4j_services/config/server.xml)
     This code-source is available in loader oracle.ifs.client:10.1.2.3.0. This shared-library can be imported by the "FAC_WS_Content_Services" application.
But, if I select the shared library in Oracle AS EM, it states that my application (FAC_WS_Content_Services) does import this shared library.

Need to auto-generate SDK for REST web service.

My company has developed a REST API for some web services, and we'd like to provide users with a Java SDK for consuming those services.
Our services are described by an XSD schema. On the backend, we are using JAXB to create Java classes corresponding to the schema. We create the request objects based on the parameters in the REST url, and JAXB converts our response objects from Java to XML.
We'd like to provide our users with similar Java classes on the client side. They should be able to create the object corresponding to the request, fill in various parameters, and submit it to our web service. The SDK should automatically convert the object into a REST URL, hit the URL with a Get, read the XML response, and convert that response into Java objects.
It seems like we should be able to auto-generate such an SDK based on our schema.
It seems like there are several tools for doing this for SOAP web services. For example, Apache Axis has Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java.
Can anyone recommend tools for creating client-side libraries for consuming RESTful web services? Does anyone have advice on products to avoid?

Replying to my own post here. The WADL2Java project on java.dev seems to be more like what I need. The only user-experience I've seen on the 'net is in this forum post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5239123&tstart=0

FTP URL on OCS10g Content Services

I can't find a FTP URL on OCS10g Content Services.
How to connect FTP service of OCS 10g Content Services?

Finally, I can connect to workspaces successfully.
I was confused between Original FTP and OCS FTP.
OCS FTP concept is different from Original FTP one.
OCS FTP stores files to Database, not File system.
Step by step OCS FTP
STEP 1. Enabling FTP
====================
Oracle® Content Services
Administrators Guide
10g Release 1 (10.1.1)
B14493-01
Page. 4-3
You can enable FTP for Oracle Content Services so that users can upload and
download files using FTP. The FTP protocol is disabled by default after Oracle Content
Services is installed and configured.
To enable the Oracle Content Services FTP server:
1. Access the Oracle Collaboration Suite Control and navigate to the Content
Services Home page.
2. You may want to change the default port number for the FTP server. To do this:
a. In the Administration section, click Server Configurations.
b. Click FtpServerConfiguration.
c. Click IFS.SERVER.PROTOCOL.FTP.Port, in the Properties section.
d. Update the Value with the desired port number and click OK.
e. Click OK on the Edit Server Configuration page.
3. Return to the Content Services Home page and click Node Configurations, in the
Administration section.
4. Click the name of the node configuration that corresponds to the node where you
want to run the FTP server. You can only run the FTP server on regular nodes; you
cannot run FTP on HTTP nodes.
5. Scroll down to the Servers table and click FtpServer.
6. Select Active and Initially Started.
7. Click OK on the Edit Server page.
8. Click OK on the Edit Node Configuration page.
9. Return to the Content Services Home page and restart the node.
Repeat this procedure for any additional regular nodes on which you want to run FTP.
STEP 2. SET FTP password
========================
Oracle® Collaboration Suite
Security Guide
10g Release 1 (10.1.1)
B14489-01
Page. 2-27
Users can set their FTP password in the Oracle Internet Directory Self-Service
Console, by setting the IFS password entry that appears in the Application Passwords
section of the Change Password page.
STEP 3. Connect FTP Site
========================
In the Windows command prompt
ftp <server name>
username and password is not OS account.
You must use OCS account to connect to workspaces.
You must reset password for FTP.
FTP password is different from Portal password.

Livecycle connector for sharepoint Set Document Content for Office documents

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how the LiveCycle 9.5 connector for sharepoint works. It all works like a charm, exept for the set document content activity in a LiveCycle process.
When I have a file named test.txt on my Sharepoint server, and I execute the process with the "set document content" activity to replace the content with the content of the same test.txt files' content which I changed for the experiment, it gets updated without any problems.
Yet, when I have a file named test.docx on my Sharepoint server, and I try to replace the content with that of the content of the same test.docx file with altered content, the document content doesn't get updated to the new content.
Is there a certain configuration that I need to do, to make this work or is this a known issue of the connector?
Thanks in advance for your answer
Kind Regards,
Ronald Kamp
Junior Flex/Java/LiveCycle Consultant at iDA MediaFoundry.

Hi Ronald,
I could not get this reproduced at my end. We were successfully able to replace contents of a .docx file as well.
Can you please attach the livecycle process along with the thread in case issue has not yet been resolved at your side?
Thanks
Raghu

This certification is currently being evaluated for upgrade to a new version. At this time, I cannot give a definitive answer about whether or not there will be an EE 6 version. We also do not have any info on retirement of the EE 5 version. I don't expect that this certification will retire terribly soon, as it is still getting a good amount of traffic. I'm sorry, I realize that my answer is not very informative or helpful, but that is the only info I have at this time. If you are interested in this certification, I would recommend that you go ahead and go for it. Even if we do end up retiring the certification path, the certification remains valid. It remains on your list of certifications in CertView and you can continue to use the OCM logo.
If you are worried about getting 1/2 way through the path and having the path retire, I can tell you that we typically provide at least 3 months notice for a retiring exam/certification path. This path may require extra time because of the length of time that it takes to complete this certification path. Whenever this certification path is set to retire, we will make every effort to contact all candidates who are working on the certification at that time, so always be sure that your email address is updated and correct in your Pearson VUE profile.
