I think you don't need to use AIKAU…

I believe would be better to make custom action that will do everything what you want. Take a look at this post http://www.marversolutions.com/wordpress/2012/04/15/adding-document-library-actions-in-alfresco-4-0/

Hi Satheesh,

Please look at the below method on crudservice.js file.



onCreate: function alfresco_services_CrudService__onCreate(payload) {
       
         var url = this.getUrlFromPayload(payload);
         this.serviceXhr({url: url,
                          data: this.clonePayload(payload),
                          method: "POST",
                          successMessage: payload.successMessage,
                          alfTopic: payload.alfResponseTopic,
                          successCallback: this.refreshRequest,
                          callbackScope: this});
      }

The above is used to create a node (file/ folder) in a given destination node reference.

I believe you might need to do the request two times for each different destinations.

Simplest way,you can use folder rules in the destination folder, whenever there is a folder is created, create an another folder in the new location also. In this case, you no need to create anything extra code, mostly goes in the configuration side.
