Vic (Versatile Information Client) Wiki

Prerequisites

A CMIS 1.0 compliant Content Repository.

NOTE: Vic has only been tested against Alfresco Community version 4.0 and above.

Setting up the Content Repository

Simple
Do nothing! It is possible to connect to a content repository without any configuration at all.

Advanced
The Vic configuration file is located in the Vic Common project under /resources/properties/vic-config.properties

host - This is the URL which is used to connect to the content repository. This configuration is used as a default but can updated by the user at runtime.
user.home - The content repository folder within which the individual user home folders are held. It is assumed that the user home folders match the usernames e.g. in Alfresco /User Homes/jbloggs1
vic.config.remote.location - The content repository location within which Vic specific files are stored. Although not required, Vic uses xml files within this folder or sub-folders to read and display metadata (properties) associated with content.
cmis.binding.type - Options are 'webservices' or 'atompub'. Default is webservices. NOTE: the host URL will need to be in the correct format to match the binding type.
help.url - A web link to the Help pages.

NOTE: If you are testing Vic using the admin user, remember to create a home folder for the admin user
