Alfresco POST Examples?

[nm_santos]

Hi,

I've been trying to search for POST web scripts examples, but I couldn't find any.

I'm interest in sending an HTTP POST Message with an xml in the body, to a script in alfresco (in Java).

Can anyone point me to some documentation?

My problem resides in obtaining the xml file in the script, I don't know how.

Regards,
Nuno Santos.

Hi,
you can start from here http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index
You can browse all Alfresco registered webscripts on your Alfresco installation, for example by package, and find the corresponding implementation.
You may find there some hints about what you are trying to do.

Regards,
Andrea

Once you get the uploaded file, you can parse it using the built in xml object
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/E4X
i.e. something like

myfile = new XML(xmlfile);
currentvalue = myfile.elementtoget.toString();‍‍

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

Here's what I have so far:

public class JavaFileUpload extends DeclarativeWebScript{
   
   
   protected Map<String, Object> executeImpl(WebScriptRequest req, Status status, Cache cache)
   {
      String content = null;
      try {
         content = req.getContent().getContent();
         
      } catch (IOException e) {
         
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
            
      Map<String, Object> model = new HashMap<String, Object>();
      model.put("content:", content);
      
      return model;
      
   }
   

}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

For now it is just a test, so that I know it works.

Now, how can I configure the .ftl file?

I've read http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/script/org/alfresco/repository/upload/upload.post, but sill I don't know how I can render the response.

Regards,
Nuno.

Hi Nuno,
you'd better first take a look at these links in order to get acquainted with freemarker templates…
