Feature to run Alfresco & Share in different tomcat instances

[shazada]

to get this working I've done the following:

1. Created my own archetype
2. Changed the share pom.xml with the following:

<properties>
        <maven.tomcat.port>8081</maven.tomcat.port>
    </properties>
<plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
            <!-- The Alfresco Maven Plugin contains all the logic to run the extension in an embedded Tomcat with the H2 database. -->
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.alfresco.maven.plugin</groupId>
                <artifactId>alfresco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${alfresco.sdk.version}</version>
                <configuration>

                    <!-- We need the flat file H2 database to run the Repo -->
                    <enableH2>false</enableH2>
                    <!-- We always need the Platform/Repo webapp - alfresco.war -->
                    <enablePlatform>false</enablePlatform>
                    <!-- Enable Solr webapp so we can use search -->
                    <enableSolr>false</enableSolr>
                    <!-- We need Share webapp, so we got a UI for working with the Repo -->
                    <enableShare>true</enableShare>
                    <!-- Enable the REST API Explorer -->
                    <enableApiExplorer>false</enableApiExplorer>

                    <!-- JARs and AMPs that should be overlayed/applied to the Share WAR (i.e. share.war) -->
                    <shareModules>
                        <!-- Bring in custom Modules -->
                        <moduleDependency>
                            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                            <artifactId>contezza-case-collaboration-share</artifactId>
                            <version>${project.version}</version>
                        </moduleDependency>
                    </shareModules>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>

3. Changed the major pom.xml and set enableShare to false.
4. Copied the test/resources/share to share project
5. run mvn install alfresco:run on major pom. And the same but on the share project.

@shazada, it should be possible to do this with SDK 3 and an all-in-one project by making two invocations of run.sh with arguments to disable share or platform/SOLR and to update the port for the share instance. I don’t think Pom changes should be required.

I'll give it a try!

The configuration needs to be a variable otherwise it can't be picked up on the command line. Other wise create 2 profiles and override there the config one for Platform and the other one for Share
