For developing rest api in alfresco you need to use webscript.

Below links will help you in how to develop a webscript.

I know this way to create api but i want to create in spring way using annotation and is it working same way as webscript api?

I have used REST · dgradecak/alfresco-mvc Wiki · GitHub and it is working.

Do you have any idea about this?

Hi,

you can create your own custom REST API in Alfresco.

First take a look at this : GitHub - covolution/quick-api: Basic example of developing a Rest API on the Alfresco Platform that conforms to the api …

Basically it's quite simple :

create java package in your repo project.

create EntityResource with CRUD actions and specify endpoint

annotate your package in a file "package-info.java"

add your package in your module-context.xml file

(<context:component-scan base-package="[put your java package here]"></context:component-scan>)

then go to :

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/private/[name of your api in package-info.java]/versions/1/yourendpoint

Using webscripts and other aprocahes proposed in this thread are ok, but how come "@RestController" (initial question) does not work? I tried that myself and I see

Identified candidate component class: URL [jar:file:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/dms-test-platform-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/dmstest/service/MyService.class

but the spring bean is not created and it is not mapped to a service endpoint. I am trying to figure that out, any hint will be helpfull.

Thanks!
