File Name Character Limit

rdifrango_ — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 23:44:12 GMT

It appears to me as though the file name as it relates to the path is being truncated to 25 characters.

For example, we have a file named tst_onlinebank_noncard_faq.xml so its 30 characters, but when I view the object path it appears as:

/default-domain/workspaces/tst_faq/tst_onlinebank_noncard_f

But if I look at the CMIS properties the name is “correct” as follows:

cmis:name: tst_onlinebank_noncard_faq.xml

What this affects is searching for a file name by path we can’t find a matching entry as Nuxeo has truncated it.

Looking at the nuxeo documentation the default doc id length is 24 (at least in the org.nuxeo.common.utils.IdUtils class document for 5.8). In the past I have overridden this (in java) with the following...

String docId = IdUtils.generateId(title, "-", true, 65);
docModel = session.createDocumentModel(folderDoc.getPathAsString(), docId, Resources.DOC1);

The docid is generated using "-" as the word separator, all in lower case, and up to 65 characters long). Docid is then used to create the document.

Thanks, the trick for me is that I'm creating my documents remotely via the Apache Chemistry so I don't think there is a way to trick it into doing this.

The only thing I can think of is overriding the default action in Nuxeo through a custom contribution.

Since 5.9.3, you'll be able to use the property nuxeo.path.segment.maxsize to set the max size of a path segment

Is there a way to get this working on Nuxeo 5.8?

No there isn't. It's a new property introduced in 5.9.3
