message bundle registration

[laurentvdl]

The message bundle registration added in 1.3 is very unreliable when using solr.

The MessagServiceImpl uses search to locate the properties files, meaning the files cannot be found at the time of registration unless they already existed.

Where does it use search exactly?

[thijslemmens]

RepositoryLocation repositoryLocation = new RepositoryLocation(rootNodeRef.getStoreRef(), path, RepositoryLocation.LANGUAGE_PATH);

This is it, I guess.
But what is the difference exactly when uploading manually in the repo?

[laurentvdl]

The eager initialisation causes the problem: if it is called before the property files are indexed, the files are never loaded:

String message = messageService.getMessage("cm_contentmodel.property.cm_name.title", Locale.US);

(only an issue the very first time you deploy a file, like in a production deployment)

[thijslemmens]

That probably explains why we it only sometimes worked. To me it is an Alfresco issue, because with bad timing, you also have this without DE.

Restarting should help in this case. (but that is against the DE philosophy)

[laurentvdl]

Deploying twice also fixes the issue, but ...

I remember the eager loading was also a workaround for another Alfresco bug. (no transaction in scope)

To verify if that workaround is still required from Alfresco >= 5.
