Need precisions about CML

sam69 — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 13:10:53 GMT

Hello !I am using the webservices, and I think there is a lack of documentation (even javadoc). Do you know if there is a javadoc somewhere ?For example, I need to move a file from a space to another (which is a simple task). But I can't find an example to do that, and no documentation about CML. Ex

Hi,

Yes there is an issue with the move and copy commands in CML. Details can be found here http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AR-794

I agree we need more documentation and certainly as part of the fix for the above issue further CML samples will be added.

Cheers,
Roy

Thanks Roy !

I hope the 1.4 version will come soon

I am waiting also for the CQL, the SQL-based query language. It's sound like a very good and powerfull idea !
CQL will be on the next version, isn't it ?

Cheers,
Samuel

Please don't forget the bug of CMLMove (http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AR-794 ) for the 1.4 release.
I have tested the 1.4 Preview, and it's still not working…

I am not the only one who need this fonctionality :

Hi,

Don't worry, this was fixed after the preview release. I would expect the fix in the next release of 1.4.

I have tested with the 1.4 RC1, and it's working now !
Thanks for the correction.

Here is my code for moving an element to a folder, if it can help someone (I added english commentaries, because I develop in French )

    
/**Create relationship with the destination folder and the element to move */
    ParentReference dossierDestinationParentRef = new ParentReference();
    dossierDestinationParentRef.setStore(ConnecteurGEDAlfresco.STORE);
    dossierDestinationParentRef.setUuid(IDElemDestination);
    dossierDestinationParentRef.setAssociationType(Constants.ASSOC_CONTAINS);
    dossierDestinationParentRef.setChildName(nomElementADeplacer);
    /** Create the ref of the element to move */
    Reference sourceRef = new Reference();
    sourceRef.setStore(ConnecteurGEDAlfresco.STORE);
    sourceRef.setUuid(iDElementADeplacer);
    /** Move */
    CMLMove deplacer = new CMLMove();
    /** destination folder : */
    deplacer.setTo(dossierDestinationParentRef);
    /** element to move */
    deplacer.setWhere(new Predicate(new Reference[]{sourceRef}, null, null));
    /** Execute command */
    CML cmlDeplacer = new CML();
    cmlDeplacer.setMove(new CMLMove[]{deplacer});
    UpdateResult[] results;
    results = this.getWebServiceFactory().getRepositoryService().update(cmlDeplacer);

What should be contained in the String variable "nomElementADeplacer" that is passed to .setChildName()? Is this a QName? If so, how do I get it?

Re: Need precisions about CML

In my case, it's just the name of the file to move, not a QName, and it's working.

Hi,

When I try your code I have an error on this line :
results = this.getWebServiceFactory().getRepositoryService().update(cmlDeplacer);

It gives to me the error : null


public static void copy(String nomFichier, String idFichier, String idNouveauFichier,String ciblePath, String depPath) throws Exception
    {
       /**Create relationship with the destination folder and the element to move */
        ParentReference dossierDestinationParentRef = new ParentReference();
        dossierDestinationParentRef.setStore(STORE);
        dossierDestinationParentRef.setPath(ciblePath);
        //dossierDestinationParentRef.setUuid(idNouveauFichier);
        dossierDestinationParentRef.setAssociationType(Constants.ASSOC_CONTAINS);
        dossierDestinationParentRef.setChildName(nomFichier);
        
        /** Create the ref of the element to move */
        Reference sourceRef = new Reference();
        sourceRef.setStore(STORE);
        //sourceRef.setPath(depPath);
        sourceRef.setUuid(idFichier);
        
        /** Move */
        CMLMove deplacer = new CMLMove();
        /** destination folder : */
        deplacer.setTo(dossierDestinationParentRef);
        /** element to move */
        deplacer.setWhere(new Predicate(new Reference[]{sourceRef}, null, null));
        /** Execute command */
        CML cmlDeplacer = new CML();
        cmlDeplacer.setMove(new CMLMove[]{deplacer});
        UpdateResult[] results = WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService().update(cmlDeplacer);

Your error message is not very explicit…

This code is just a copy past from my application (coded in french).

In my app, I have a getter for the WebServiceFactory (this.getWebServiceFactory()), but you have to get the repositoryService in you own way, like in the Alfresco webService sample for example.

Hello everybody,
we are in a big trouble with this issue. Our problem is that we're using the version 1.2 with many customizations and we cannot migrate to a newer version of Alfresco (not in an easy way). Is there a way to apply a patch to the 1.2 version to correct the problem with copy and move?

Thank you in advance.
