Configurations

Connexion between ARender and Alfresco

ARender for Alfresco connector enabled communication between ARender and Alfresco Content Services (and Alfresco Process Services).

By default, ARender is configured to communicate with a local Alfresco using CMIS.

To configure the CMIS connection (editor recommendation) with a remote Alfresco, add the below property:

arender.server.alfresco.atom.pub.url=http://alfrescoHost/alfresco/api/-default-/cmis/versions/1.1/atom

Authentication will be done using an Alfresco ticket.

To configure the SOAP connection (editor recommendation) with a remote Alfresco, add the below properties:

arender.server.alfresco.use.soap.ws=true
arender.server.alfresco.soap.ws.url=http://alfrescoHost/alfresco/cmisws/cmis?wsdl
arender.server.alfresco.user=userNameValue
arender.server.alfresco.password=passwordValue

Context path handling

The context path is the path that’s used by applications (for example, Alfresco Share, SOLR, SharePoint, and others). If you want to deploy to a context path that isn’t /alfresco, it needs to be specified with the following property:

arender.server.alfresco.context=my-context-path

By default, the context path is alfresco (for /alfresco).

Annotations

Details on annotation storage

No configuration is needed for annotations storage in Alfresco.

Annotations will be stored as a child node of the document Node itself. Child node name is: cm:arender-annotations-v{version document}.

Annotation child node image

The installation is complete

You can now start the alfresco server and try to open a file with a link formed like this:

http://{arender_serveur}:{arender_port}/ARenderHMI/?nodeRef={nodeRef}&user={user}&alf_ticket={ticket}&versionLabel={version}
