The missing glue between Alfresco and Spring MVC

Works on Enterprise as well as on Community and it ruses a widely accepted REST framework

The docs are on the wiki page

You should use it when

• You need custom APIs
• You want to be more productive
• You write custom webscripts

You would benefit of

• Faster development
• Java developers know how to use Spring MVC

Supported Alfresco versions

v7.5.0-RELEASE

• 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

v7

• 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
• Tested on Alfresco Community 6.0.7-GA, 6.1.x, 6.2.0-GA

v6
