Link/Copy Folder RULES?

aweber1nj — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 02:36:51 GMT

Any way to do something analogous to "Link to an existing rule set" when creating/updating folders with CMIS?I'd like to define a few folder rules, and then copy those rules when I create cmis:folder objects via Apache Chemistry. (I could identify the folders from which I'd like to copy the specifi

hey refer this link

But I guess there is one more api in the actionservice i.e. applyRule.
you can use that 😎

I may be reading that code wrong, but isn't that implying that the rules already exist on the object, and the code is just forcing them to execute?

(This is a related topic I'm interested in, as I'd like to be sure that if I create rules on a folder, that they would be applied to all new objects added to the folder, regardless of which "client" they come from - i.e. webdav, Share, CMIS, etc.)

I am really looking to see how, if I have "Folder A" with a defined set of rules, when I create "Folder B" (via CMIS), how can I copy the set of rules so they are now also on "Folder B" and will auto-run for objects placed into that new folder?

Thanks for the reply!

Well Then in that case I think you have to see the logic of space template.
We can achieve this from webclient via space template.
But if we want to do it from the CMIS then you have to follow the similar thing.
Create one space attache the rule to that and when ever you want to create new space create the copy of the existing space and rename that.
That is the way I only see.
