    Jeff,

    I am using alfresco 2.2. I would like to include Solr in my alfresco and change my search web scripts to use the same. I would really appreciate if you could provide me with some in the process of doing the same.

    Also I wanted to know if its is possible via the SerachService to implement pagination while quering alfresco. I did not see anything the SearchParameter object. It would be great if you can pointers for the same.

    Thanks,
    Gaurav

    Preordered the PDF.

    Looking forward to it, hopefully you can and will finish it fast and the PDf would be published early in October 😀

    Hi Jeff,

    I will be ordering your book, no doubt about that 🙂
    As to the list of subjects to be explained in your book. I have a question about “Set up your development environment using Eclipse, Apache Ant, and MySQL”

    Is there still a chance you could include a short explanation in the paragraph covering this item on how to have the same Dev environment setup (Eclipse, MySQL) but then with Maven2 (pom file, config, extension archetype versus AMP) (maven2alfresco), since Maven seems to gain some momentum at this time.

    Regards,

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks for reading and for the book order! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to cover Maven. The book is already much longer than we anticipated, and my editor is looking for things to cut, so Maven will have to get covered in a blog topic at some point.

    Hey Jeff,
    Great blog, lots of really useful information.

    I was wondering what version of Alfresco your book was written to be companion with?

    I am using Alfresco ENT 3.1 and will more than likely upgrade to 3.2 when it is released.

    Thanks,
    Scott.

    Scott,

    Thanks, I appreciate it.

    The book was originally written against 2.2 Enterprise and 3.0 Labs. I’m finding that all of the code works with 3.0 Enterprise and 3D Labs Stable. I think the vast majority of it will work with 3.1 Enterprise. I noticed a potential problem with the “Execute Script” JSF dialog example in 3.1 last night which may be a version issue.

    In any case, the book covers the core of the platform which really doesn’t change much from release to release, and any tweaks needed to get the examples to run across versions are fairly minor.

    Nevertheless, I’d like to maybe restructure the source code and start to manage version-specific branches to make it easier on folks. I’m just not sure how soon I’ll get to that.

    The biggest gap from a “developer topics” perspective is Surf, which was only just coming out as we were publishing. If Surf is an interest, you might check out the presentations at:

    Hope that helps,

    Jeff

    Thanks Jeff, great info, I’m ordering the book right now.
    I’ve no interest in Surf at the moment so no worries there.
    Version-specific branches of the source code would be brilliant.

    Thanks again,
    Scott
