Starting an Extension in Alfresco 4.0 - alfresco

Question

I want to run the extension
("C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\scheduled-action-services-context.xml)
I have made some changes in it, however when I restart the server I don't see it in my log files.
Do I need something else to start it.
EDIT:
Here is the content of my scheduled action services:
<!--

-->
<bean id="templateActionModelFactory" class="org.alfresco.repo.action.scheduled.FreeMarkerWithLuceneExtensionsModelFactory">

<!--

</property>
<property name="parameterTemplates">

AND WHEN I CHECK THE STDOUT, I'M SEEEING THIS ERROR:

The problematic instruction:

Could someone explain me this.. I have written a cron to run every 8 minutes but its not working

Answer 1

"Run the extension" doesn't really make sense. When you start Tomcat, the Alfresco web application will load that Spring configuration file automatically because it is on the classpath (assuming you have set up your shared classloader correctly) and it ends in "context.xml". If you aren't seeing something you expect in the log files, check log4j.properties to make sure you have a logger set. If all else fails, use a remote debugger like Eclipse and set a breakpoint in one of the Java classes referred to by your context file.

Answer 2

Maybe your error is because of https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-9981
