[opencms-dev] Scheduled task

[Samuel Shum Hiu Yeung (FS)]

Thanks Andreas,

Now i have made it. Indeed I do need to specify the project id to be
synchronized because the current project id is always set to 'online' by
default.

There is also another bug found. During synchronization, if a resource is
deleted in vfs, it does NOT get deleted from the Server file system.
Instead, the file from sfs is copied back to vfs as a new file Again. This
is very different from what is described in the user guide for version
4.6(chapter 10, p173). Is this a bug in the synchronization module?

Thanks so much,
Samuel Shum

Samuel,

I didn't try this, but I think there are two possible reasons for your
exception. First, the resource does not exist (I assume you checked
that), and second, the system is in the Online project while
synchronizing. So you have to change the current project to an existing
offline project before synchronizing your folders.

You can do that as follows:
CmsProject myProject = cms.getRequestContext().currentProject();
int oldProjectId = myProject.getId();
cms.getRequestContext().setCurrentProject(anOfflineProjectId);
cms.syncFolder("/absolute/path/to/your/folder/");
cms.getRequestContext().setCurrentProject(oldProjectId);

Be sure that the resources are present in the VFS of OpenCms! I hope
this helps.

Thanks Andreas,

Now I have successfully run the scheduled task to publish a project. But
while trying to synchronize a folder, I got the following exception.

[05.03.2003 19:41:10] <opencms_cronscheduler> Error running job for
com.opencms.core.CmsCronEntry{41 * * * * Admin Administrators
sg.com.frontline.cms.ScheduleSync /user_projects/samuel_folder/} Error:
com.opencms.core.CmsException: 2 Not found. Detailed error:
[com.opencms.file.CmsSynchronize] /user_projects/samuel_folder/.  at
com.opencms.file.CmsSynchronize.synchronizeServer(CmsSynchronize.java:15

 at sg.com.frontline.rapid.cms.ScheduleSync.launch(ScheduleSync.java:18)
 at com.opencms.core.CmsCronScheduleJob.run(CmsCronScheduleJob.java:68)

My confusion is mainly on the Foldername to be passed to the method
syncFolder(Foldername). Shall it be the system file path or the virtual
file path? I tried both put both throw me some Not Found exception.

Thanks,
Samuel

Samuel,

you can publish a project by using the method publishProject() of the
CmsObject, e.g. "cms.publishProject(ProjectId);". All you need to know
in the launch() method is the project ID of your project, which you can
pass as a parameter from the Backoffice and then cast to int. You can
easily get the project ID by viewing the source code of the head frame
of the OpenCms workplace.

For synchronization, use the method syncFolder(Foldername) of the
CmsObject.
