topic Creating rules with isAppliedToChildren is not supported?? in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/creating-rules-with-isappliedtochildren-is-not-supported/m-p/272987#M226117 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have to create a rule to apply an action to company home for my functional test and this rule should also be applied to children. It is possible to create a rule by hand with isAppliedToChildren=true option. However I have to do this via web-services-client and I just noticed that you don't have this option in org.alfresco.webservice.action.Rule. The option is available in org.alfresco.service.cmr.rule.Rule but not in both org.alfresco.webservice.action.Rule and org.alfresco.repo.webservice.action.Rule. Anyway long story short it is not possible to create a rule that can also apply to children nodes simply is not possible with web-services-client. I just want to know why? Is there a specific reason why the feature is not supported.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>You can also check the method that converts web service rule to repository rule, there is anything regarding isAppliedToChildren option.</SPAN><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; private Rule convertToRule(org.alfresco.repo.webservice.action.Rule webServiceRule)<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; NodeRef ruleNodeRef = null;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (webServiceRule.getRuleReference() != null)<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ruleNodeRef = Utils.convertToNodeRef(<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; webServiceRule.getRuleReference(), <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; this.nodeService, <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; this.searchService, <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; this.namespaceService);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; // Get the rule type name<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; String[] ruleTypes = webServiceRule.getRuleTypes();<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; // Create the rule<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rule rule = new Rule();<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; List&lt;String&gt; ruleTypesList = new ArrayList&lt;String&gt;(ruleTypes.length);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for (String ruleType : ruleTypes)<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; {<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ruleTypesList.add(ruleType);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rule.setRuleTypes(ruleTypesList);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rule.setNodeRef(ruleNodeRef);&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; // Set some of the rules details<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rule.setTitle(webServiceRule.getTitle());<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rule.setDescription(webServiceRule.getDescription());<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rule.setExecuteAsynchronously(webServiceRule.isExecuteAsynchronously());<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rule.applyToChildren(webServiceRule.get);<BR /><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; // Set the action<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Action action = convertToAction(webServiceRule.getAction());<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; rule.setAction(action);<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return rule;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<BR /><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><BR /><SPAN>I don't want to modify the source code, is there a workaround?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 25 Dec 2010 20:00:40 GMT umututkan 2010-12-25T20:00:40Z Creating rules with isAppliedToChildren is not supported?? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/creating-rules-with-isappliedtochildren-is-not-supported/m-p/272987#M226117 Hi,I have to create a rule to apply an action to company home for my functional test and this rule should also be applied to children.
