Problem creating new Nodes with the PHP Library

plaico — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 08:21:57 GMT

There are two things I'd like to know about the PHP Library. Firstly, I could not manage it to create a new node using the following code:$new_child = $currentNode->createChild('cm_content', 'cm_contains', 'cm_phpinfo.php');$new_child->cm_name = 'phpinfo.php';$new_child->setContent('cm_cont

I'm sorry - the code is fine
it just might have worked the first time I tried. After that, the error message appeared because the file already existed.

hi, how do u commit the new node or the new content created? cos to me, the problem is when I call the function $session->save();

i receive back the soap error as u did, but the node is anyway created.(I can have confirmation by take a look at the repository in 8080).

this is the code i'm talking about:


if($_REQUEST['add']){
//AGGIUNGO UN NODO
$new_child_store = $currentNode->createChild('cm_folder', 'cm_contains', 'cm_myStore');
 $new_child_store->cm_name = 'myStore';
 //print_R($new_child);exit;

$session->save();
//$session->clear();
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

this is the error code:


Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [soapenv:Server.generalException] (null) in C:\Programmi\Apache\htdocs\alfresco2\Alfresco\Service\WebService\AlfrescoWebService.php:67 Stack trace: #0 C:\Programmi\Apache\htdocs\alfresco2\Alfresco\Service\WebService\AlfrescoWebService.php(67): SoapClient->__soapCall('update', Array, Array, Array, Array) #1 C:\Programmi\Apache\htdocs\alfresco2\Alfresco\Service\WebService\AlfrescoWebService.php(49): AlfrescoWebService->__soapCall('update', Array) #2 [internal function]: AlfrescoWebService->__call('update', Array) #3 C:\Programmi\Apache\htdocs\alfresco2\Alfresco\Service\Session.php(172): AlfrescoWebService->update(Array) #4 C:\Programmi\Apache\htdocs\alfresco2\Examples\SimpleBrowse\index.php(116): Session->save() #5 {main} thrown in C:\Programmi\Apache\htdocs\alfresco2\Alfresco\Service\WebService\AlfrescoWebService.php on line 67‍‍

hope to hear good news, i'm also looing for a solution to upload content.
have a good day

Hi,

Could you help me by providing the code you use to connect to the repository and get the value of $currentNode.

Cheers,
Roy

hi
thks for reply. here's the code:


session_start();

$repository = new Repository();
$ticket = null;
if (isset($_SESSION["ticket"]) == false)
{
      $ticket = $repository->authenticate($user, $password);
      $_SESSION["ticket"] = $ticket;   
}   
else
{
     $ticket = $_SESSION["ticket"];    
}
$session = $repository->createSession($ticket);

$store = new SpacesStore($session);
   
$currentNode = null;

if (isset($_REQUEST['uuid']) == false)
{
      //set the $currentNode the first time
      $currentNode = $store->companyHome;
      
      $path = 'Company Home';

}
else
{
      //set the $currentNode while browsing the repository
      $currentNode = $session->getNode($store, $_REQUEST['uuid']);
      
      $path = $_REQUEST['path'].'|'.$_REQUEST['uuid'].'|'.$_REQUEST['name'];
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now i added a button to set a new node while browsing the repository.

I got the problem in the __Soapcall method of AlfrescoWebSevice.php when it call the parent method ::__soapCall() of soapClient.
Strange also the fact that the code smtimes is working.

cheers

Hi,

Yes it is odd that the problem in intermittent.

I'm guessing the issue is coming from the repository (unfortunately error handling in the PHP lib is not something I have been able to get to yet!) and the web service errors we receive are generally not very helpful.

Perhaps inspecting the repository log will help to uncover what the issue is here.

Also you could try running the Unit tests shipped with the library. This may help to flush out any issue that might be there. ( see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_PHP_Library_Installation_Instructions#Running_The_Unit_Tests )

Cheers,
Roy

thks roy,
i found a way out of this problem.
soon i'll post the solution.
In my case the problem concern the value I post to create the currentNode obj, in particular the uuid values passed by get.

Can u tell me if is possible with the actual API upload document from file?

Hi,

Here is an example of how you can set content from a file using the PHP library:


    public function testWriteContentFromFile()
    {
       $contentData = $this->getContentNode()->cm_content;
       $contentData->mimetype = "image/jpeg";
       $contentData->encoding = "UTF-8";
       $contentData->writeContentFromFile("alfresco/resources/quick.jpg");
      
       $this->getContentNode()->cm_content = $contentData;
       $this->getContentNode()->cm_name = "1myDoc_" . time() . ".jpg";
       $this->getSession()->save();
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope this helps,
Roy

hi roy,
i'm just one step from the result(..hope).

i try to follow yr example and this is the situation.

now i'm writing in the node class (name:node.php; i downloaded the PHP Client Library 2.1 RC from the community library)the follow code, but in the final saving session i'll get just a soap error:



public function updocformfile(){

//$this CONTAIN THE NODE OBJECT    
    
    $upload = $this->createChild('cm_content', 'cm_contains', 'cm_ciccio.txt');

    $contentData = new ContentData($upload, $property, $mimetype, $encoding);
    
    //$contentData->getContent();
    
    $contentData->mimetype = "text/plain";
    $contentData->encoding = "UTF-8";
    $contentData->writeContentFromFile("c:/path.txt");

//AT THIS POINT $contentData->content CONTAIN THE CONTENT OF THE FILE
    
    $upload->cm_content = $contentData;
    $upload->cm_name = "ciccio.txt";

//HERE IN THE OBJ $upload I HAVE ALL THE PARAMETERS SET UNDER [_properties:private] - I'LL SHOW IT BELOW    
    
    $this->getSession()->save(); 
  }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

just a portion of $upload object

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

without the saving session, the file(named ciccio.txt) appear in the right position (even if isn't possible to open).
Appling the last instruction ($this->getSession()->save()), i got this error

I receive the same error as the original poster. It seems to be related to the browser session. If I close the browser and then reload it, the exception goes away. It seems that maybe the ticket is expiring on the server side before it expires on the client side?

Here's a way to create folder, doc and navigate from a point of the tree:


//create a folder in root alfresco root directory
      function createFol($currentNode,$session)
      {
        $new_child_store = $currentNode->createChild(

        );
        
        $new_child_store->addAspect("cm_titled");
        
        $new_child_store->cm_name = 'myStore';
        $new_child_store->cm_title = "This is a title";
        $new_child_store->cm_description = "This is a description";
        
        $session->save();
      
      }     
      
//create a document in alfresco root directory
      function createDoc($store,$session)
      {
        $filename = "pippo_".time()."_.txt";
      
        $content_data = $store->getCompanyHome()->createChild(
                                                    "cm_content",
                                                    "cm_contains",
                                                    "cm_" .$filename
        );
        
        $content_data->cm_name = $filename;
        
        $content_data->cm_title = ("This is my new document.");
         $content_data->cm_description = ("tag1;tag2;tag3;");

Not a fix, but something that might help in finding out the cause of the problem: I've run into the same issue (original poster's exception "Callback supplied no password for: username") and found that when I remove my browser's cookies, everything works fine again.

It seems to me that this thread is about several things: a session problem and how to create a content node from a file. Here's a piece of PHP code that does the latter and works for me.

  $name = 'blabla';
  $mime = 'application/pdf';
  $n = $home->createChild('cm_content', 'cm_contains', 'cm_'.$name);
  $n->cm_name = $name;
  $content = new ContentData($n, 'cm_content', $mime, 'UTF-8');
  $content->writeContentFromFile('/tmp/test.pdf');
  $n->cm_content = $content;
  $session->save();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Best,
Kaspar

Ã¢â‚¬Â¦ regarding the session problem. In my case, this hint helped me: I edited tomcat/conf/web.xml so that

<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>‍

does not contain 30 but some ridicuously large number. (Needless to say that this is not a good thing to do in a production environment, but it works around the problem at least.)

Hope this helps others as well,

I have similar problem when it comes to posting. files…..

The issue is not creating new nodes but trying to create/overwrite a node when one already exists with that name.

any one have any ideas on how to update.

here is my error
