In the latest version of Records-Management it's possible to create a custom share-config for records management -

rm-share-config-custom.xml‍

, and work with it like in the document management. It's possible because

rm-context.xml‍

has this option in the configuration bean:

rm-context.xml:

   <bean id="rm.custom.config" class="org.springframework.extensions.config.ConfigBootstrap" init-method="register">
      <property name="configService" ref="web.config" />
      <property name="configs">
         <list>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-share-config.xml</value>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-form-config.xml</value>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-share-workflow-form-config.xml</value>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-share-config-custom.xml</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But in the version 2.3.c this rm-share-config-custom option doesn't exists.

rm-context.xml from version 2.3.c:

    <bean id="rm.custom.config" class="org.springframework.extensions.config.ConfigBootstrap" init-method="register">
      <property name="configService" ref="web.config" />
      <property name="configs">
         <list>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-share-config.xml</value>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-form-config.xml</value>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-share-workflow-form-config.xml</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I want to be able to create a custom share-config for version 2.3.c.
As far as I understand I need to override "rm.custom.config" bean and put this additional value there.
But when I tried it I got following exception:

SEVERE: Exception starting filter Authentication Filter

This rm-kind evaluator comes from rm-form-config.xml, but I don't understand how my change could be related to this config file.

My question is why am I getting this exception and how to be able to add custom share-config without upgrading records-management?

P.S.As a workaround for the moment I overwrote the whole file and did changes there. But it's not a proper solution.

Hello,

I succeeded to have an rm-share-config-custom.xml by overriding the bean rm.custom.config. You need to create a spring context xml file in the right folder. To find the "right folder" I open the surf-config.xml and you can see the import order of the spring contexts. Yours should be imported after alfresco/web-extension/*-context.xml. Here an example of the surf-config.xml:

<!– Import Slingshot –>
   <import resource="classpath*:alfresco/slingshot-application-context.xml" />
   <import resource="classpath*:alfresco/slingshot-documentlibrary-context.xml" />
   <import resource="classpath*:alfresco/web-extension/*-context.xml" />
   
   <!– SURF: support for Surf application config –>
   <import resource="classpath*:org/springframework/extensions/surf/application/*-context.xml" />
   
   <!– SURF: support for custom application configuration overrides –>
   <import resource="classpath*:org/springframework/extensions/surf/override/*-context.xml" />
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In my case I created a new spring context file in this folder {share}/amp/config/org/springframework/extensions/surf/override/, with this content:

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

<beans>

  <bean id="rm.custom.config" class="org.springframework.extensions.config.ConfigBootstrap" init-method="register">
    <property name="configService" ref="web.config"/>
    <property name="configs">
      <list>
        <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-share-config.xml</value>
        <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-form-config.xml</value>
        <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-share-workflow-form-config.xml</value>
        <value>classpath:alfresco/rm-share-config-custom.xml</value>
      </list>
    </property>
  </bean>

</beans>
