Correct. The book was written before 3.2, so the text does not talk about the newer subsystems configuration. However, the sample code for Chapter 9 for 3.2 Enterprise does include a subsystems directory. It is in the someco-server-extensions Eclipse project.

I like seeing the ldap props set in the global properties file because it centralizes your properties in that file. The drawback is the properties are “further away” from your XML config. If you are using the out-of-the-box configuration, then that isn’t a big deal. If you are changing both, it might be a small nuisance temporarily while you fine-tune your configuration.

Hello,

Im using alfresco community v 3.2r2.

As far as I understand, your code in chapter 9 wasnt to this version of alfresco. For instance, I was not able to find a “ldap-authentication-context.xml.sample”.

However, the code for the 3.2 version you have in this page seems to correspond to the code of your book in what concerns to ldap configuration… Is this correct? Because I was expecting to see something about subsystems like the code for the enterpise edition.

Finally, cam you tell be if it is a good practice to configure ldap inside the global properties file. I see a lot examples on the net doing this…

thank you

Hi Jeff, still making my way through your fantastic book. On page 104, the variable activeFlag on this line of code:
boolean activeFlag = (Boolean)action.getParameterValue
(PARAM_ACTIVE);

Should probably be declared as a Boolean, not boolean.

Also, steps 9 and 10 – that set up variables and imports used by code in earlier steps – really should be steps 2 and 3. Personally, I was creating the class in Eclipse as I read and was a bit frustrated at not knowing if I was doing something wrong because there was PARAM_RESULT in ActionExecutor, but no PARAM_ACTIVE.

Thanks again for the great book.
