Hi Jeff,

Just so that I understand better, was the spring-test.jar 3.0.0.M3 included via the STS plugin or via the Spring Roo add-on? I'm trying to work out which step in the tutorial did an...

Good questions. In the case you've cited, the endpoint ID is "alfresco-test". That's what you have to pass in to the remote.connect() method since this method expects an endpoint ID. The method is...

By the way - my apologies. I didn't realize that this wouldn't preserve my indentations. Sorry for the lack of XML formatting!

I just committed some changes to /trunk that should help for connecting to Alfresco 3.2.

First, Surf now includes a separate Alfresco 3.2 User Factory. As you discovered (and I hadn't), there...

An excellent question!

The runtime settings let you quickly configure Surf to look for its model objects, templates and web scripts from different places.

The default is "classpath" which means...

If you're using trunk, you should be able to run on Tomcat 5.5 without any trouble. We have a test harness (spring-surf-tests/spring-surf-test-integration) which uses Cargo to smokescreen Surf...

That's a good point. We're thinking through the best approach for this and also want to do it in a way that is consistent with the Spring Security needs of the Alfresco repository (which will be...

I've been running Spring Surf locally against an Alfresco 3.2 repository and it works fine in terms of authentication. The login web script hasn't changed between Alfresco 3.2 and Alfresco 3.3, so...

It's the same thing. Basically, we've sought to keep the Spring Web Editor framework out in the open so that anyone can build plugins for it. You can build it and deploy it and plug in whatever...

Have you continued to have trouble with Jetty?

If you look at a few of the sample applications, such as:

spring-webscripts/spring-webscripts-application-test...

If you take a look at Alfresco HEAD and Spring Surf trunk right about now, they're pretty well in-sync for the upcoming Alfresco 3.3 release.

At Alfresco, we took the time to move Surf into Spring...

We're currently moving all of the Web Studio functionality into a new "productized" framework called the Spring Web Editor. This was checked into trunk (spring-web-editor).

Spring Web Editor...

You're always free to write custom ViewResolver and View implementations if you really need to wrangle the URLs to look like anything you want. You can even use REST annotations on top of...

Alfresco WCM comes with a virtualization server that does have some problems with Spring itself. The virtualization server is a "tweaked" version of Tomcat that lets the container virtualize access...

Has anyone else given integration to Spring Security a shot?

This is something that I'd like to see us include as part of Spring Surf 1.0.0 if there is an implementation pattern that people are...

What exactly about the example from Jeff's deck doesn't work?

You should be able to add a <properties> block under a component instance and access those properties just fine using...

We're pleased to announce the availability of Spring Surf 1.0.0 Milestone 2.

Spring Surf is a view composition plugin for Spring MVC that offers a scriptable, content-driven approach to building...

These are some great questions!

Here are some facts about Spring Surf. I think you'll find it's pretty much what you were hoping for!

Will Alfresco participate in Spring Surf?
Yes. Alfresco...

Hi Roni,

Yes, this is one of the items on our roadmap. We are planning to include support for Portlet 2.0 (JSR 268) via Spring 3.0's Portlet MVC features.

At the base, we'd allow you to...

It's Apache 2.0.

The Wiki is behind at the moment but will be catching up shortly. Very well spotted - however, rest assured, everything in Spring Surf is Apache 2.0.
