Alfresco suuuucks. It is developed by people without knowledge how to code. Code is flawed.

To configure just simple things such as ftp, smtp or webdav access you should use global search on hundreds of spring configs and when change configuration in 2 or 3 files synchroniously.

Extension mechanism is very poor and unprofessional. Web ui looks ugly. HTML markup is horrible.

Permission model in Alfresco sucks too. There is no ACL support or just mechanism to setup permission on node in JCR. System folder ‘Data Dictionaly’ is visible to all user and there is no correct way to hide it. If you hide, some of the system functions will silently fail.

JCR is sloooooooooooooooooooooow.

If someone will recommend you your boss to use it on production you should convince boss not to do (or just shoot that man).

I am also doing something similar.
I do not know hoe to create the custom-script-context.xml (If you don’t know how to do that, read this) does not help me.

Could you please send me a sample xml?

thanks

did you go any further making a proper workflow UI for alfresco? i would be extremely interested in your progress….

the workflow console is just not user friendly at all!

nice to see growing adoption and use of alfresco and jbpm. We also are working on similar problems, developing custom solutions for our customers based on alfresco. Currently we faced a probloem how to provide customer with more user friendly workflow management UI. Workflow terminal is too geeky and asks for some more advance ui.
