  1. Please do not remove alfresco support, I've moved to orbeon also for alfresco integration!
    I'd expect a better integration and not removing it!

  2. Support for sending to Alfresco had not been tested at all with 4.0 and there did not seem to be any interest, hence our discussion. Did you have any success integrating with Alfresco with 4.x?

  3. My project started on a 3.9 version and I'm now running 4.1, I tested it
    in 3.9 and was now creating other parts of my project.
    Erik, I undertand your idea, but after 6 months of troubles and new learnings this cut my legs!! I'll test it next Monday on 4.1 .

  4. Hopefully we can find a solution. We might need your help to restore Alfresco support in 4.3 if that makes sense. Please let us know if you have any success with 4.1.

  5. Good evening Erik,
    I've tested now the funtcionalty.
    It works, writes both xml and pdf on alfresco 4.0.e when I press the workflow-send button.
    the strange thing is I get :

    Not Found
    Oops, the page requested was not found!

    after it wrote all in alfresco

  6. Maybe because it's trying to navigate to a success page via oxf.fr.detail.send.success.uri, which maybe doesn't exist.

    I have added an issue to restore Alfresco support in 4.3:

  7. Hi all, I hope the Orbeon staff is able to restore the Alfresco support. I'm starting a new project composed by Liferay, Orbeon and Alfresco !!

    Thank you in advance,
