Paths conversions

jbaton — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 21:38:14 GMT

Hi Roy,I want to use the ws api to browse entirely my repository so that I can detect duplicates (same name, mime type and size) to delete them.So after a highly general query, I get the colums and find a NamedValue like this one {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content=contentUrl=store:/

I could really use a feature like this, too. For example, I would like to be able to get a plain string path to an Alfresco folder so that I can bulk upload to it via FTP (since the content service doesn't let you write large files).

In order to get a path that I can FTP to (ftp://serverort/Alfresco/<path>), I have to recursively call GetParents() and GetName() to build the parent hierarchy until I get to the root, then do some string munging to clean it up.

Another option might be to make the Alfresco FTP server more advanced so that you can upload to a specific uuid parent (which would also solve name conflicts between items; Alfresco supports multiple objects in the same namespace with the same name, FTP requires unique names).
