Move a content to a space - moveNode()

Hi all.I need to move the content of one space to another space.I tried this (from http://alfrescotips.wordpress.com/)NodeRef target = new NodeRef(new StoreRef("workspace://SpacesStore"), target.getUUID());this.nodeService.moveNode(source, target, ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS, ContentModel.ASSOC_CHIL

In what context are you running this code? In the dialog framework of the jsf environment? The target referenced here is the node you want to move. You need to either operate directly on this node within an Action for example. Otherwise you will have to find the node you need to move with the SearchService or if you know its id you can always construct the NodeRef with the store and the id of the node.

Please clarify and we will try to help you.

thank Erik,
about the target node I know only the name (Company home/SelectedDocs) and so I need its NodeRef

Ok, so you are moving a folder? I still need to know in what context you are executing the code? If you dont know what I refer to please paste the class inside code markup in your next post.

I'm not moving a folder but its content (some docs) from it ("folderA") to target folder ("folderB") by activating a custom action that apply to content level.
I start from the Jeff Potts "Alfresco Developer Guide" sample code (an action executer class that I'm changing properly):


   protected void executeImpl(Action action, NodeRef actionedUponNodeRef) {
      Boolean activeFlag = (Boolean)action.getParameterValue(PARAM_ACTIVE);
      if (activeFlag == null) activeFlag = true;      
      if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Inside executeImpl");               
      // set the sc:isActive property to true
      // set the sc:published property to now
      Map<QName, Serializable> properties = nodeService.getProperties(actionedUponNodeRef);
      properties.put(SomeCoModel.PROP_IS_ACTIVE, activeFlag);        
      if (activeFlag) {
         properties.put(SomeCoModel.PROP_PUBLISHED, new Date());
      }      
      Node node = new Node(actionedUponNodeRef);      
      // if the aspect has already been added, set the properties
      if (node.hasAspect(SomeCoModel.ASPECT_SC_WEBABLE)) {
         if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Node has aspect");
         nodeService.setProperties(actionedUponNodeRef, properties);
      } else {
         // otherwise, add the aspect and set the properties
         if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Node does not have aspect");
         nodeService.addAspect(actionedUponNodeRef, SomeCoModel.ASPECT_SC_WEBABLE, properties);
      }                              
      if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Ran web enable/disable action");                                 
   }

Ok, so my guess is that your action will be run on the parent folder and the requirement is that when the action is run, you need to move all content in this folder to another folder?

Some rough code:


   // Get all children of the action node 
   List<ChildAssociationRef> children = nodeService.getChildAssocs(actionedUponNodeRef);
   for (ChildAssociationRef childAssociationRef : children){
   NodeRef nodeToMove = childAssociationRef.getChildRef();
        // For every child call nodeService.move with you target folder nodeRef.
    }

yes, but how I get the target folder nodeRef? I know its name is: "company home/selectedDocs".
thanks!

No - that's its path not name.

You either do a search and get the node ref from the search results.
Or "walk the tree" to get details such as node ref.

There are also many utility methods available to get nodes based on path. Take a look at the FileFolderService first.

I use this function to get the target NodeRef:


      protected NodeRef getFolderRef()
       {
       StoreRef storeRef = new StoreRef(StoreRef.PROTOCOL_WORKSPACE, "SpacesStore");
       ResultSet resultSet = searchService.query(storeRef, SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE, "PATH:\"/app:company_home/cm:selectedDocs\"");
       return resultSet.getNodeRef(0);
       }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and catch a NullPointerException on searchService.query
What I did wrong?
Thanks

You did not inject the SearchService into your java bean?

No.
How can I proceed? At what level I do it? Some code snippet would help me.
Thanks!

You have to declare SearchService in you spring bean configuration file (the xml-file, ending -context.xml)

Like this:


   <bean id="format" class="my.company.alfresco.action.MyActionExecuter"
      parent="action-executer">
      <property name="searchService">
         <ref bean="SearchService" />
      </property>
      <property name="nodeService">
         <ref bean="NodeService"></ref>
      </property>
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

When you start Alfresco the SearchService will be injected into you class via the setSearchService that you should have declared in your ActionExecuter.

Erik, after your suggest the SearchService is now injected!
Which is the correct syntax of the "query string" parameter if my target node name is selectedDocs according to the following path:
- Company Home
….WorkingSpaces
….selectedDocs <——
….deletedDocs


results = searchService.query(workspaceStore, SearchService.LANGUAGE_XPATH, ?????????????);
‍‍‍

I found some samples for the root ("/app:company_home") but not for the spaces leaves.
thank you very much!

Re: Move a content to a space - moveNode()

redbull — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 14:22:49 GMT

I solved!
I use Search Service with the LUCENE query language:


results = searchService.query(workspaceStore, SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE, "+PATH:\"/app:company_home/cm:selectedDocs\"");
‍‍‍

Thanks.
