Here we are bootstrapping two groups, one called Knowledge Base Consumers and one called Knowledge Base Coordinators. The last bit of the group bootstrapping adds the groups to different Zones. The AUTH.ALF zone is for authorities defined within Content Services and not synchronized from an external source, such as LDAP. The APP.DEFAULT zone is for person and group nodes to be found by a normal search. We can store this XML file as part of the Repository JAR module extension project in a file name such as import-groups.xml.

The group XML file can be loaded via a Spring bean configuration as follows:

<beanid="org.alfresco.tutorial.bootstrap.patch.groupsLoader"class="org.alfresco.repo.admin.patch.impl.GenericBootstrapPatch"parent="basePatch" >
