Hi All,

I have an article that has an AWE edit tag embedded.  The served app is running on a standalone tomcat server.  I can edit the page and it brings up a huge form with every metadata field that is associated with the content.  So AWE is working.  Editing it through share brings up only relevant fields for an article which it is picking up from forms registered for share. 

I want to replicate this behaviour when editing through AWE.    I have tried registering a form for AWE but not getting much look.  Any help appreciated.  This is what i have done to date:


The documentation here http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Editor#WAR_File_Deployment says that I should include form I want to register in the 

awe-config-custom.xml can be placed in the shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension folder.

  I have done this.  My form has been registered as follows:

<!– Document Library pop-up Edit Metadata form –>
         <form id="doclib-simple-metadata">
            <field-visibility>
               <show id="cm:name" />
               <!– tags and categories –>
               <show id="cm:taggable" for-mode="edit" force="true" />
               <show id="cm:categories" />
            </field-visibility>
            <edit-form template="../documentlibrary/forms/doclib-simple-metadata.ftl" />
            <appearance>
               <field id="cm:title">
                  <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textfield.ftl" />
               </field>
               <field id="cm:description">
                  <control>
                     <control-param name="activateLinks">true</control-param>
                  </control>
               </field>
               <field id="cm:taggable">
                  <control>
                     <control-param name="compactMode">true</control-param>
                     <control-param name="params">aspect=cm:taggable</control-param>
                     <control-param name="createNewItemUri">/api/tag/workspace/SpacesStore</control-param>
                     <control-param name="createNewItemIcon">tag</control-param>
                  </control>
               </field>
               <field id="cm:categories">
                  <control>
                     <control-param name="compactMode">true</control-param>
                  </control>
               </field>
            </appearance>
         </form>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

My Webscript that includes the awe edit tag is as follows, ie references form.

<@markContent id=asset.id title="${asset.title!asset.name}" formId="doclib-simple-metadata" nestedMarker="true" />‍

It is not picking up my new form though.  Can anyone explain steps and what I might be missing.

You say that the app is running on a standalone tomcat server, have you configured Tomcat to add "shared/classes" to it's shared classloader?

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Install_Tomcat6 particularly step 6.
