Best way to get single property of all files in a space

seshu — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 06:32:30 GMT

Hi,I would like to know the best way to retrieve property (e.g name) of all files in a space and display those in a web page. NodeService has an option to get a property/properties from a file not from all. Any help would be appreciatedThanks,Seshu

Thanks a lot Gevin.
What i understand from the search service is it will return documents not metadata properties based on property search criteria. Is this not the default behaviour? I need to get all values of a property of all files in a space. I will read the search functionality again.

Thanks,
Seshu

I think you have 2 ways :
- Use Web Services and do your request against repository
- Use Freemarker template in web client or outside web client
