Hello,

I'm trying to integrate Alfresco and Ephesoft and it's working, I'm able to export a document to Alfresco but the metadata from Ephesoft doesn't appear on the document inside Alfresco. I'm following this example http://tpeelen.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/configuring-ephesoft-and-alfresco-for-cmis-integration but I'm missing something. These are my configurations files:

ephesoftModel.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!– Custom Model –>
<!– Note: This model is pre-configured to load at startup of the Repository. So, all custom –>
<!–       types and aspects added here will automatically be registered –>

<model name="ephesoft:demomodel" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">

<imports>
   <!– Import Alfresco Dictionary Definitions –>
   <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0" prefix="d"/>
   <!– Import Alfresco Content Domain Model Definitions –>
   <import uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
</imports>

<!– Introduction of new namespaces defined by this model –>
<!– NOTE: The following namespace custom.model should be changed to reflect your own namespace –>
<namespaces>
   <namespace uri="http://com.ephesoft.demo/model/content/1.0" prefix="ephesoft"/></namespaces>
   <constraints />
   <types>
      <type name="ephesoft:document">
         <title>ephesoft_scan</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="ephesoft:invoiceTotal">
               <title>Invoice Total</title>
               <type>d:int</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </type>
   </types>
</model>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And custom-model-context.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

<!– Registration of new models –>
<beans>
   <bean id="extension.dictionaryBootstrap" parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
      <property name="models">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco/extension/ephesoftModel.xml</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
</beans>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Like I said, I can see the document but I cannot see the "invoiceTotal" metadata, is something wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Hello there,
Did you do your CMIS mapping  in the DLF-Attribute-mapping.properties file?  The file should be located in the batch class configuration in the cmis-plugin-mapping folder (e.g. C:\Ephesoft\SharedFolders\BCB\cmis-plugin-mapping).  Here you will map the Ephesoft content model to the Alfresco content model.  I am not sure what your Ephesoft document types are but will give an example per your Alfresco content model.

Invoice=D:ephesoft:document
Invoice.InvoiceTotal=ephesoft:invoiceTotal
‍‍‍‍

The first mapping (with the prefix on the right hand of "D") is the document type mapping where "Invoice" is the Ephesoft document type and "ephesoft:document" is your Alfresco document type.  The second mapping is the attribute mapping of "InvoiceTotal" field in Ephesoft to the "ephesoft:invoiceTotal" property in Alfresco.


Let me know if that works for you.
