Crash: createNode() nested exception is ...could not insert

jsauer — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:58:53 GMT

Hi, I just need to import some thousand demo data for performance testing. I wrote a tiny JavaScripttestDoc = space.childByNamePath("test_doc.pdf");if(testDoc!=null){ var newNode; for(i=0;i<500;i++) { newNode = space.createNode("test_" + i.toString() + ".pdf","cm:content");

Hi,
following up my problem from yesterday I talked to some Alfresco Enterprise implementors and from what I learned is that Alfresco JavaScript implementation is not suitable for creating lots of nodes, as I tried in the above mentioned script. And the content size is not the issue (as I have figured out by myself already)

It seems just to be recommended to do lightwight work from within JavaScript and delegate the main workload to Java code 😞

I would like to start a discussion here about scripting issues, work arounds and other scripting technologies.

What can be achieved by JavaScript scripting?
What to be avoided by using JavaScript?
What kind of workarounds / best practices do exist?
Which other scripting technologies do exist and have been integrated with Alfresco? (BeanShell, Groovy)
Do alternate scripting technologies address some of the problems of the JavaScript implementation?
Live / code examples of alternative scripting

Waiting to hear from you (Alfresco? ;-))

Regards
Jörg

Please go ahead, and as and when you bottom out any issues please record your best practice guidelines on the Wiki and raise any faults or problems in JIRA.

Waiting to see what you come up with
