Check out/in Javascript API

lista — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 11:45:07 GMT

Hi all,I'm playing around with Check out/in functionalities, and what I have noticed is that while through Alfresco I have a couple of options (example is "Check in changes and keep file checked out "), API does not directly support them. Is this something that is 'left out' on purpose, or is it not

Hmmm, have not done this in Javascript, but in Java world there is a checkin() method with this signature:

public interface CheckOutCheckInService 
{
…
   public NodeRef checkin(
         NodeRef workingCopyNodeRef,
         Map<String,Serializable> versionProperties,
         String contentUrl,
         boolean keepCheckedOut);
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

which should do what you want? Other options (version description, major/minor version update) may be contolled by passing appropriate versionProperties.

Here's the Javascript API, obviously parts are left out.
I guess in case of really needing the 'keep checked out feature', I'll switch to Java backed web scripts.

Thank you for the answer,
