Works on Enterprise as well as on Community and it ruses a widely accepted REST framework
- You need custom APIs
- You want to be more productive
- You write custom webscripts
- Faster development
- Java developers know how to use Spring MVC
- Possibility to disable parent context servlet behavior @AlfrescoDispatcherWebscript(... servletConfigOptions = {ServletConfigOptions.DISABLED_PARENT_HANDLER_MAPPINGS, ...})
- DispatcherWebscript servlet context can inherit all parent context properties (alfresco global included), or by annotation @AlfrescoDispatcherWebscript(inheritGlobalProperties = true, ...)
- Tested on Alfresco Community 6.2.0-GA
- Tested on Alfresco Enterprise 6.2
- the querytemplate module has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major release (Alfresco 5.2+ include a REST API and we recommend using classes from the package org.alfresco.rest.api)
- @AlfrescoRestResponse can be used to annotate a controller or a controller method in order to use Alfresco Rest API response processing
- clearer isolation of Spring MVC Web and specific Jackson processors have been removed by default, since spring has been updated to 5.1.x in Alfresco ACS and Alfresco introduced org.alfresco.rest.framework.jacksonextensions.RestJsonModule which we are reusing now. Therefore if you want to continue using any of the serializers/deserializers or converters/formatters you need to manually include them in your WebMvcConfigurer implementation
- use @EnableWebAlfrescoMvc which enables @EnableWebMvc and reuses com.gradecak.alfresco.mvc.rest.config.DefaultAlfrescoMvcServletContextConfig otherwise just use @EnableWebMvc and customize your servlet context as needed
- ResponseMapBuilder has been deprecated use a Map instead
