Hey, is it possible to add aspects to a node with RESTful API?

Hi,

Sure can, that's how Alfresco share itself does it.
If you monitor the request sent when you add an aspect, you'll see it uses this webscript:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/script/org/alfresco/slingshot/documentlibrary/action/aspects.post

Another nice way to find out is to go to http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/index/all
and then fire a search for you keyword "aspect"

What are the parameters I have to send with my POST request?
Could you give me an example json string please?

When I monitor the same webscript as Alfresco, I see that the webscript needs something like:


{"added":[],"removed":["abc:doc"]}

This is the URL where I send my request:


localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/slingshot/doclib/action/aspects/node/workspace/SpacesStore/f94028fd-d693-4809-a9c6-091f92639243

Everytime I send the POST request I receive the error message: 302 Found…

I've managed to solve my problem.

The request URL has to look like this:


localhost:8080/alfresco/s/slingshot/doclib/action/aspects/node/workspace/SpacesStore/f94028fd-d693-4809-a9c6-091f92639243
