Uploading content to user sandbox using RestfulAPI

Hi everyone,I'm struggling with - as it seemed to be really trivial and basic finctionality of Alfresco - sandbox content upload via RestfulAPI.I belive my configuration is fairly standard and during long searches I've seen a few similar to mine posts, which have not been answered. That is why I've

Ok, I have found the solution !!!

The key lies in the global domain transaction properties.

Go to:

WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\domain\transaction.properties ->

and remove read-only switch. I have not experienced any issues so far, but remember about backing up your work.

server.transaction.mode.readOnly=PROPAGATION_REQUIRED

After restart UploadContentServlet works perfectly for avm.

So to summarize:

1. Create node in sandbox with RestFul API with temp content:
http://192.168.0.141:8080/alfresco/service/api/wcm/webprojects/pim/sandboxes/pim--admin/assets/www/avm_webapps/ROOT/YOUR_FOLDER/
and standard set of JSON properties

HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
           PostMethod method = new PostMethod(base);
           String input = "{" +
                 "\"name\" : \"" + params.getParameter("name") +"\", " +
                 "\"type\" : \"" + params.getParameter("type") + "\", " +
                 "\"content\" : \"" + params.getParameter("content") //only string for JSON parser -> temp content, overwritten in step 2
                 + "\" }";

           method.setRequestEntity(new StringRequestEntity(input,"application/json", null));
           int statusCode = httpClient.executeMethod(method);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. Go with proper content upload:


      String base = "http://192.168.0.141:8080/alfresco/upload/avm/pim--admin/-1;www;avm_webapps;ROOT;YOUR_FOLDER;your_file.pdf/your_file.pdf?ticket='+ticket;

//get file stream
File file = new File("d:\\your_file.pdf");
      
      long length = file.length();
      if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
         System.err.println("file to large !!!");
       }

      byte[] contentBytes =  new byte[(int)length];
      FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
 HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
//       Credentials cred = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("admin","tim");
//       httpClient.getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, cred);

       PutMethod method = new PutMethod(base);
           method.setRequestEntity(new InputStreamRequestEntity(fis));
//           method.addRequestHeader("Expect","100-continue");
           method.setParams(params);
           
        
          int statusCode = httpClient.executeMethod(method);
       if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
          System.err.println("Method failed: " + method.getStatusLine());
       } 

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and that's it.

I hope you'll save some time, because I have spent quite a bit to figure that out

This is about the API - POST /alfresco/service/api/path/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}/children
mentioned in the link http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_RESTful_API_Reference#Create_folder_or_document_.28createDocument.2C_createFolder.29_2

Question - ContentStream contentStream, how do we pass ContentStream without using CMIS option?

Thanks.
