How to see maven modules as projects in Eclipse Package Explorer

When a user, not project's creator, downloads a maven project with modules inside. He/She sees a project that contains all modules. To get all modules as projects you can follow these tutorial:

1.- Download parent project
2.- On File menu, select import > Maven > Existing Maven Projects
3.- Push next
4.- Browse to downloaded project in Root Directory select list.
5.- Check pom.xml files listed below
6.- Push Finish

Now you can see the parent maven project and all modules as projects. All modules are synchronized with parent project.

Jasypt: Encryption on Java

Jasypt is a java library which allows the developer to add basic encryption capabilities to his/her projects with minimum effort, and without the need of having deep knowledge on how cryptography works.

• High-security, standards-based encryption techniques, both for unidirectional and bidirectional encryption. Encrypt passwords, texts, numbers, binaries...
• Transparent integration with Hibernate.
• Suitable for integration into Spring-based applications and also transparently integrable with Spring Security.
• Integrated capabilities for encrypting the configuration of applications (i.e. datasources).
• Specific features for high-performance encryption in multi-processor/multi-core systems.
• Open API for use with any JCE provider.

How to transform all docs to PDF/A-1 format in Alfresco

Look for alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\mimetype\openoffice-document-formats.xml file.

<document-format>
<name>Portable Document Format</name>
<mime-type>application/pdf</mime-type>
<file-extension>pdf</file-extension>
<export-filters>
<entry>
<family>Presentation</family>
<string>impress_pdf_Export</string>
</entry>
<entry>
<family>Spreadsheet</family>
<string>calc_pdf_Export</string>
</entry>
<entry>
<family>Text</family>
<string>writer_pdf_Export</string>
</entry>
</export-filters>
<!-- ADDED TO TRANSFORM TO PDF/A-1 -->
<export-options>
<entry>
<string>SelectPdfVersion</string>
<int>1</int>
</entry>
</export-options>
<!-- ADDED TO TRANSFORM TO PDF/A-1 -->
</document-format>


With this change, all transformation to PDF will be exported to format PDF/A-1.

How to enable full repository access on Alfresco Share

In a tomcat installation, edit tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml file.

Look for RepositoryLibrary condition:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="RepositoryLibrary" replace="true">
<!--
Whether the link to the Repository Library appears in the header component or not.
-->
<visible>false</visible>

<!--
Root nodeRef for top-level folder.
-->
<root-node>alfresco://company/home</root-node>

<!--
Whether the folder Tree component should enumerate child folders or not.
This is a relatively expensive operation, so should be set to "false" for Repositories with broad folder structures.
-->
<tree>
<evaluate-child-folders>false</evaluate-child-folders>
</tree>
</config>

And modify visibility to true:

<visible>true</visible>


This works on Alfresco Enterprise 3.2R and above.

How to know your most used commands

There is an easy way to know how you spend your time on linux terminal:

history | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10

In my entries Alfresco appears on top 5. I think i need a shortcut.

Java Architecture for XML Binding

First of all we need to download and install JAXB in your pc. (See below for links)

After install, we can proceed defining a XSD file. An example jb.xsd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

xmlns:jb="urn:org:jblanco:example:expedient:1.0:schema"

xmlns:cmn="urn:org:jblanco:common:1.0:schema"

targetNamespace="urn:org:jblanco:example:expedient:1.0:schema"

elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">

<xs:annotation>

<xs:documentation xml:lang="en">

Expedient.

</xs:documentation>

</xs:annotation>

<xs:import id="cmn" namespace="urn:org:jblanco:common:1.0:schema" schemaLocation="common.xsd" />

<xs:element name="expediente" type="jb:expedienteType" />

<xs:complexType name="expedienteType">

<xs:complexContent>

<xs:extension base="cmn:generalType" >

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="numero_expediente" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:string" />

<xs:element name="fecha_apertura" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:date" />

<xs:element name="fecha_cierre" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:date" />

<xs:element name="volumen" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:string" />

</xs:sequence>

</xs:extension>

</xs:complexContent>

</xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>

Don't forget namespaces, inheritance... ;)

Finally, execute XJC command to generate java classes:

xjc -p org.jblanco.example.bean jb.xsd

xjc -p <package> xsd_file.xsd

Output:

jblanco@in2:/opt/tmp$ xjc -p org.jblanco.example.bean jb.xsd

parsing a schema...

compiling a schema...

org/jblanco/example/bean/ExpedienteType.java

org/jblanco/example/bean/ObjectFactory.java

org/jblanco/example/bean/package-info.java

To use multiple xsd files add an import, for every xsd you want, in the main file.

Hint:

To create an object with multiple inheritance, we can use group tag. An example:

<xs:complexType name="complex1Type">

<xs:sequence>

<xs:group ref="cmn:metaGrp1Group" />

<xs:group ref="cmn:metaGrp2Group" />

</xs:sequence>

</xs:complexType>

<xs:group name="metaGrp1Group">

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="identificador" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:string" />

<xs:element name="fecha" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="xs:date" />

<xs:group ref="cmn:metaSubgrp1Group" />

</xs:sequence>

</xs:group>

<xs:group name="metaSubgrp1Group">

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="nivel" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="cmn:nivelType" />

</xs:sequence>

</xs:group>

<xs:group name="metaGrp2Group">

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="codigo" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />

<xs:element name="serie" type="xs:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />

</xs:sequence>

</xs:group>

<xs:simpleType name="nivelType">

<xs:restriction base="xs:string">

<xs:enumeration value="Unidad" />

<xs:enumeration value="Expediente" />

<xs:enumeration value="Compuesta" />

</xs:restriction>

</xs:simpleType>
