Getting rule owning nodeRef

mhb — Wed, 31 May 2017 09:59:23 GMT

Hi, I create a shared content rule for multiple folders, but I couldn't find a way in the action executor to get the folder in which the rule was executed. Any idea?

i guess the rule should give you the nodeRef of the file and from there you can get the parent (if it is only 1)

ChildAssociationRef childAssociationRef = nodeService.getPrimaryParent(nodeRef);
NodeRef parent = childAssociationRef.getParentRef();‍‍

Yes, but this is a shared rule between multiple folders, it has many parents.

I define the rule under a static folder, then I link it to another one. this is an example of parent relations between the rule and the rule folders.

The rule is triggered when an element in the folder is created, deleted or updated. I'm trying to get the NodeRef of this folder in the actionExecuter.(the rule is linked to the folder not created under its ruleFolder.

The actionedUponNodeRef should be the noderef of the newly created File/folder and from there you can geht the Patent - no?

The actionedNodeRef is not always a direct child of the folder, it can be created in a subfolder.
