I'm implementing an action when a file (document) is created in a folder. I have access to the noderef of the document.I like to get the full folder name where the document has just been created. My code has condition logic on how to act based on the folder name.How do I do this in java?Thanks a bun

You can use something like :


Document doc = (Document) session.getObject(object_id);
doc.getPaths().get(0);
‍‍‍‍

the name of the document is concatenated at the end of the path so you have to remove it.

I'm in java. Not JavaScript so I don't think I can use this.
I have access to the NodeRef and the NodeRefService which I can use but I can't find any reference showing me how to get the Path of the document. I can get the FileInfo object for the document but this FileInfo only seems to contain the file name and whether the noderef is a file or a folder. I need the full path like /Sites/aptest/documentLibrary/DropOff/Invoice1.pdf (not just the file name which is Invoice1.pdf)

Use NodeService's getPath method ,which will return Path object ,then use Path Object's toString()/toPrefixString()/toDisplayPath() method according your requirements.

Hi,
This may help you.

<java>
Path folderPath = nodeService.getPath("FOLDER_NODE_REF");
If you need the folder path as prefixed string,

String prefixedPath = folderPath.toPrefixString(namespaceService);

</java>

Please use following method of org.alfresco.service.cmr.model.FileFolderService,it is used to resolve a file or folder name path from a given root node down to the final node.

for rootNodeRef you can pass company root node
public FileInfo resolveNamePath(NodeRef rootNodeRef, List<String> pathElements) throws FileNotFoundException;
