Cannot delete tags. I'm using API Rest Alfresco

[awaxisnei]

Hi,

I can´t delete document tags and Alfresco tags using APIRest.

I`m creating Request Delete with the following url:

String url = server + "/alfresco/service/api/tags/workspace/SpacesStore/" + nameTag + "?alf_ticket=" + ticket;

And the error is:

Remote Server Error (405) Method not allowed.

- The Server, nameTag and ticket are correct.


I need help!! Thanks!

I have tested it ,it works fine,there must be something wrong with your code. Following is my test code

   HttpClient client = new HttpClient();      client.getState().setCredentials(            new AuthScope("localhost", 8080, "Alfresco"),            new UsernamePasswordCredentials("admin", "admin"));      String apiurl = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/tags/workspace/SpacesStore/tag1";      DeleteMethod delete = new DeleteMethod(apiurl);      try {         delete.setDoAuthentication(true);         int status = client.executeMethod(delete);         if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {            System.err.println("Method failed: " + delete.getStatusLine());         }         String resultString = delete.getResponseBodyAsString();         System.out.println(resultString);      } catch (Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();      } finally {         delete.releaseConnection();      }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks, kaynezhang!!!

But I have the same error… I`ve test your code and the server throw the following exception: http code: 405 Method not allowed.

Could it be for the permits of user?. I have admin permission but I am not de administrator or creator of Alfresco repository…

[kaynezhang]

Which version of afresco are you using?  it might be a bug.
I don't think it is a permission problem,but yuou can give it a try and  test it with admin user account

[awaxisnei]

I tried what you tell me and I have not managed to remove a tag.

Thanks for all!

[kaynezhang]

You can download a newer version of alfresco ,and test it to verify if it is a bug of your version

Hi!! Could I delete a tag for a node?

I have a 3.4.d version of community Alfresco.


Thanks!!
