CMIS search problem in public REST API

djole87 — Mon, 01 Jul 2019 16:49:40 GMT

Hi everyone,I'm am trying to integrate with Alfresco using it's public REST API and I found some limitations there so far.Currently I'm using Alfresco 5.2 Community edition.First I was not able to get list of all available fields on a node, as it is not possible to get dictionary info using Alfresco

Hi,

You can use the fields JSON body parameter to restrict the fields returned within a response Like:

{
"query": {
"language": "cmis",
"query": "select * from cmis:document where cmis:name like 'tes%'"
},
"fields": ["id"]
}

Please refer this Alfresco Content Services REST API Explorer

Thanks,

Prachi

Hi Prachi,

Thanks for your response. Yeah I know that I can use fields property to filter fields I would like to see in the response.

In my use case users are writing these queries and sending it to the service I provide. And to use fields property you've mentioned, I would need to know exact mapping between all cmis available properties and alfresco fields (objectId->id, name->name... ) and I'm not sure how to know these mappings.

There really are not that many CMIS properties to map.

cmisbjectId => id
cmisbjectTypeId => nodeType
cmis:secondaryObjectTypeId => aspectNames
cmis:name => name
...

Most/all of those should be quite easy to figure out by looking at the documentation of the response schema for the search operation, e.g. that cmis:createdBy maps to createdByUser etc.

Hi Axel,

Thanks for your response.

Do you maybe know to which Alfresco fields the following cmis props are mapped?

cmis:isImmutable
cmis:isLatestVersion
cmis:isMajorVersion
cmis:isLatestMajorVersion
cmis:versionLabel
cmis:versionSeriesId
cmis:isVersionSeriesCheckedOut
cmis:versionSeriesCheckedOutBy
cmis:versionSeriesCheckedOutId
cmis:checkinComment
cmis:contentStreamFileName
cmis:contentStreamId

Best Regards,

cmis:versionLabel => properties.cm:versionLabel

The other properties all have no directly corresponding Alfresco properties / fields.
