My work around for this problem stay in this function, that return the id of the reference if it already exist:

private static String findFolderOrContent(Reference root, String toSearch) {
        String idReference = null;
        RepositoryServiceSoapBindingStub repoService = WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService();
        try {
            QueryResult results = repoService.queryChildren(root);
            ResultSetRow[] rows = results.getResultSet().getRows();
            ResultSetRow currentRow;
            NamedValue[] colums;
            String currentName;
            String currentValue;
            for (int i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
                currentRow = rows[i];
                colums = currentRow.getColumns();
                for (int y = 0; y < colums.length; y++) {
                    currentName = colums[y].getName();
                    if (currentName.equals(Constants.PROP_NAME)) {
                        currentValue = colums[y].getValue();
                        if (currentValue.equals(toSearch)) {
                            log.info("findFolderOrContent, [" + toSearch + "] trovato");
                            log.info("findFolderOrContent, id [" + currentRow.getNode().getId() + "]");
                            idReference = currentRow.getNode().getId();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (RepositoryFault e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (RemoteException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return idReference;
    }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So my old function become:

public static Reference createOrGetId(String name) throws RepositoryFault, RemoteException {
        Reference folder = getCompanyHome();
        try {
            String idFind = findFolderOrContent(folder, name);
            if (idFind != null) {
                if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
                    log.debug("createOrGetId, la cartella [" + name + "] esiste già");
                }
                folder = new Reference(getStore(), idFind, null);

            }
            else {
                if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
                    log.debug("createOrGetId, la cartella [" + name + "] NON esiste, procedo nella sua creazione");
                }
                RepositoryServiceSoapBindingStub repoService = WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService();
                String currentPath = getCompanyHome().getPath();
                String newPath = currentPath.concat("/cm:").concat(name);
                folder.setPath(newPath);
                ParentReference parent = new ParentReference(getStore(), null, ConfigManager.getInstance().getConfigValue("alfresco.percorso.company.home"), Constants.ASSOC_CONTAINS, Constants.createQNameString(Constants.NAMESPACE_CONTENT_MODEL, name));
                NamedValue[] properties = new NamedValue[] { Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.PROP_NAME, name) };
                CMLCreate cmlCreate = new CMLCreate(name, parent, null, null, null, Constants.TYPE_FOLDER, properties);
                CML cml = new CML();
                cml.setCreate(new CMLCreate[] { cmlCreate });
                UpdateResult[] updateResults = repoService.update(cml);
                folder = updateResults[0].getDestination();
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error("createOrGetId, Exception ", e);
        }
        log.info("createOrGetId, id [" + folder.getUuid() + "]");
        return folder;
    }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I hope that this can helpfull for others users.

An elaborated guess: try endoding your paths using helper class org.alfresco.webservice.util.ISO9075#encode()

WOW, this is exactly I needed.

My solution work, but from the id of the node, I can't get the path of the existing reference, so my first solution with your response works very fine.

Other question, if I want to retrive the reference from id, how I can do?
I try with this code

new Reference(getStore(), id, null);‍

but I can't retrive the path.

Can you help me please?

Thanks for your response

Hmmm, it should work this way - just found this in a tool i once wrote:


Store  spacesStore = new Store(Constants.WORKSPACE_STORE, "SpacesStore");
…
Reference companyHome = new Reference(spacesStore, folderId, null);
‍‍‍‍‍

So what happens in getStore()?

getStore() do this command:

Store  spacesStore = new Store(Constants.WORKSPACE_STORE, "SpacesStore");‍
