The ImporterActionExecuter will not overwrite files or folders.

You could copy the ImporterActionExecuter and implement your own version of it to overwrite existing files and folders. Or you could change it to accept another configuration parameter to specify the behaviour.

Hi, Thanks for your confirmation,

I am trying to modify the ImporterActionExecuter.java and not able to get any methods in NodeService.java that can replace/update a content/folder in the application.

I also found that the update action of a content in the UI is using separate bean(ContentUpdateBean.java) to update the content.

I am trying to modify the code in FileFolderServiceImpl.java

        try
        {
            assocRef = nodeService.createNode(
                    parentNodeRef,
                    ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS,
                    assocQName,
                    typeQName,
                    properties);
        }
        catch (DuplicateChildNodeNameException e)
        {
            throw new FileExistsException(parentNodeRef, name);
        }

Help me in guiding any option to update/replace the content.
