dotCMS 2.1 XMLSitemap plugin deployment

[Peter Laca]

Hello,

I am having troubles with deploying XMLSitemap plugin on dotCMS 2.1 (Commerce license). We have dotCMS 2.1 running on JBoss 5.0.0.
Plugin was downloaded from https://github.com/dotCMS/plugin-XMLSiteMap
JAR file is located in WEB-INF/lib
web.xml is merged with web-ext.xml


The plugin is not deploying (as far as I know from logs). I have also tried to merge dotmarketing-config.properties with plugin.properties, copy plugin classes directory into WEB-INF classes, but nothing changed.
How can I correctly deploy the plugin?

Thank you in advance,
Peter

Peter,

I was just looking at this plugin last week and in the deployer its using pluginId = org.dotcms.plugins.XMLSitemap

https://github.com/dotCMS/plugin-XMLSiteMap/blob/master/src/org/dotcms/plugins/XMLSitemap/deployer/XMLSitemapPluginDeployer.java

I think unless you clone the project on a folder called org.dotcms.plugins.XMLSitemap it won't be able to look for you.

You don't need to manually merge any files. If the plugin deploys it will be in the plugin table in the database.

It may have deployed but the job might not be scheduled correctly, so move the folder to the name above, change the manifest version and restart dotCMS to get the plugin redeployed.

Then check for the job in the database to make sure it was created correctly. The tables to check are:

qrtz_excl_cron_triggers

qrtz_excl_triggers

qrtz_excl_job_details

Thanks

Maria

Maria,

I found the plugin and properties in PLUGIN and PLUGIN_PROPERTY table, but I can't find the jobs in DB. The only one job in QRTZ_EXCL_CRON_TRIGGERS with CRON_EXPRESSION same as the XMLSitemap is DeliverCampaignJob.

I am not sure what folder do you mean?
Now we have the plugin jar file only in WEB-INF/lib folder.

Peter

Peter,

I meant the folder under plugins/ (in the file system) where you installed the plugin.

What did you do to install it?

If you cloned it from github on a specific folder under plugins, just rename the folder to org.dotcms.plugins.XMLSitemap and redeploy the plugin.

Make sure you change the manifest version on the plugin to get it to deploy again.

I have always just left my install as "plugin-XMLSiteMap-master".  Do you think this would cause issues?  Mine seems to have deployed correctly but I still have issues with how the plugin runs.  Not sure if I should rename the directory.

Nathan,

Don't rename just yet. I haven't tested the plugin locally just looked at the code the other way on github so I'm not 100% sure that's the error but since Peter said it wasn't deploying I thought that could be the issue.

What is the error you're getting with the plugin?

Maria,

we don't have any plugins directory in dotCMS, since we are deploying from exploded war on JBoss. However, after several reboots and deletes from PLUGIN and PLUGIN_PROPERTY table, it now works.

Anyway, is there any way to preserve the plugin deployment functionality from the plugins folder even if we are deploying from exploded war on JBoss?

Thank you,
Peter
