Accessing a deleted node

[dcram]

Hi,

I am interested in accessing a node that might have been previously deleted, without restoring it. Does anyone know how I could do it ?

I'd just like to access its properties, but when the following instruction executes:

nodeService.getProperties(nodeRef);‍

it can launch the following exception if the node has previously been deleted:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.InvalidNodeRefException: Node does not exist: workspace://SpacesStore/0fc3da77-de47-11dc-9e26-e9abae0b8a91‍

I would like to be able to access the node's properties even if its has been deleted before.

Thanks in advance,
Damien

Hi Damien,

Did you try with an "archive" store protocol instead of "workspace" ?
I mean asking the NodeService with this NodeRef :

archive://SpacesStore/0fc3da77-de47-11dc-9e26-e9abae0b8a91‍

It works perfectly well now with "archive" instead of "workspace"!

Thanks rivarola

Hi,

Look at this page http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?p=13664&sid=8ef49aca657efd1e4a0bac01c697afbe

It explains some of the bowels of the delete process.

The "protectDays" parameter (default=14) is the number of days the deleted documents will still exist in the repo.
