Hi all, I've posted on another thread about Metadata Extracter already, but unfortunately, I haven't had any answer yet and I really need to be able to update custom metadata fields with extracted metadata. As an example, I would start on updating the "my:authorisedBy" field from the exampleModel with some string value.I have created what I think is the simplest way to set a value to this metadata. Maybe it's the wrong way, but still, I don't understand why it doesn't work.package my.test;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Map;
import org.alfresco.repo.content.MimetypeMap;
import org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.AbstractMetadataExtracter;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentReader;
import org.alfresco.service.namespace.QName;
public class MyMetadataUpdater extends AbstractMetadataExtracter {
public static String[] SUPPORTED_MIMETYPES = new String[] {
MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_WORD
};
static final QName PROP_AUTHOR = QName.createQName(
"http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0", "author");
static final QName PROP_AUTHORISEDBY = QName.createQName("my.new.model",
"authorisedBy");
public MyMetadataUpdater() {
super(new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(SUPPORTED_MIMETYPES)), 1.0,
1000);
}
public void extractInternal(ContentReader reader,
final Map<QName, Serializable> destination) throws Throwable {
trimPut(PROP_AUTHOR, "Someone", destination);
trimPut(PROP_AUTHORISEDBY, "Myself", destination);
}
}
which is exported as a jar in lib dir, and registered by replacing the OfficeMetadataExtracter (It might be a wrong idea of course, but it's for the purpose of the test) in content-services-context.xml file: <!– <bean id="extracter.Office" class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.OfficeMetadataExtracter" parent="baseMetadataExtracter" /> –>
<bean id="extracter.Office" class="my.test.MyMetadataUpdater" parent="baseMetadataExtracter" />
Result: author = "Someone" authorisedBy remains empty!I really hope someone can help.Best regardsStéphaneI use for this example: alfresco-nightly-build of 2007, June 11th.
