Hi, I am trying to utilize the web service api to access the alfresco repository. Alfresco and the WCM extension work great, however; I am having problems with the web service samples for Java. Here is my sample scenario:1. In Data Dictionary, created a new space (Create Space) called "Articles".2.

Data dictionary is a system folder. XPATH for it is /app:company_home/app:dictionary. So your files will be under /app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:articles.

By the way, why are you creating spaces within the Data dictionary?

Hello All,

I have similar problem,i want to get the refrence of space within Data Dictionary for e.g (Models).
The XPath for accessing is "/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:Models" but it is not returning it.
Is their any other way of accessing the folders withn Data Dictionary ?

Thanks,

This is the correct XPATH for my instance of alfesco.

/app:company_home/app:dictionary/app:models

I suggest you use the node browser built into Alfresco Explorer to investigate and double check your queries.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, it worked for me.
Also can you tell me how to check for the XPATH using node browser or create an XPATH for any other node, like i am creating an XPATH for "web client extension" node in Data Dictionary as "/app:company_home/app:dictionary/app:web client extension", but it giving an exception

"org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.XPathException: 06070008 Error executing xpath:
xpath: /app:company_home/app:dictionary/app:web client extension"

Thanks,
