I'd like to have the zip file unpacked as part of the process. I know this functionality exists in the GUI (I am using Alfresco 2.1) but finding the way to do this in the API is proving difficult.

Looking at the source for org.alfresco.repo.action.executor.ImporterActionExecuter it seems that the Importer API is used for ACP files but not for zip files - the action unzips the zip to a temporary directory and then loads the content in file-by-file. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Bit of a shame really…</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Ian.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:01:31 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/how-to-programmatically-import-and-unpack-a-zip/m-p/185383#M138513 ifairman 2009-02-03T16:01:31Z
