This is my code to apply a category to a node. itemId is the uuid of the node and categoryId is the uuid of the category.

Reference reference = new Reference(storeRef, itemId, null);
Predicate predicate = new Predicate(new Reference[]{reference}, null, null);
ArrayList<Reference> categoryList = new ArrayList<Reference>();
AppliedCategory appliedCategory = new AppliedCategory();
Reference catRef = new Reference(storeRef, categoryId, null);
categoryList.add(catRef);
appliedCategory.setCategories(categoryList.toArray(new Reference[0]));
appliedCategory.setClassification(Constants.createQNameString(Constants.NAMESPACE_CONTENT_MODEL, "generalclassifiable"));
AppliedCategory[] appliedCategories = new AppliedCategory[]{appliedCategory};
// Now classify the node
ClassificationServiceSoapBindingStub classificationService = WebServiceFactory.getClassificationService();
CategoriesResult[] result2 = classificationService.setCategories(predicate, appliedCategories);

If you don't know the uuid, you can use the path.
public Reference(
           org.alfresco.webservice.types.Store store,
           java.lang.String uuid,
           java.lang.String path)
The constructor for Reference will take either the uuid or the path.

Hi,
i've tried your code snipped right now.
it seems to be good but i got an error assigning the category….
it says could not resolve to a single node….
what is the path to the category?
i've got a category "Test" with a subcategory "Test2"

whats wrong with the following code!?


private final static Store STORE = new Store(Constants.WORKSPACE_STORE, "SpacesStore"); 
Reference catRef = new Reference(STORE, null, "cm:generalclassifiable/cm:Test/cm:Test2");
‍‍‍‍

Thanks a lot

I think the path is probably /cm:categoryRoot/cm:generalclassifiable/cm:Test/cm:Test2 .
You can use the classficationservice's getClassification and getChildCategories to iterate through the category hierarchy.
