CMIS and addObjectToFolder

[sjeandroz]

Hi,

I used CMIS to interact with alfresco from Drupal (I used the module CMIS API), but in this module, this isn't the implementation of function "addObjectToFolder"
And when I search an url to use this function on the page "http://myserver:8080/alfresco/service/index/family/CMIS", I don't find…

is it really possible to use this function in CMIS? How can I do ?

Thanks et sorry for my english

(I use Alfresco Community 4.0a finale )

Yes, this is possible because the Alfresco repository supports the Multifiling capability.

Here's how it looks using cmislib from the Python shell to do it:

>>> sub1 = repo.getObjectByPath("/cmislib/sub1")
>>> sub2 = repo.getObjectByPath("/cmislib/sub2")
>>> doc = sub1.createDocument("testdoc1")
>>> len(sub1.getChildren())
1
>>> len(sub2.getChildren())
0
>>> sub2.addObject(doc)
>>> len(sub2.getChildren())
1
>>> sub2.getChildren()[0].name
u'testdoc1'

The cmislib client API uses the ATOM Pub binding and I believe the PHP API does as well so you could follow the same pattern to implement this method for that API and then contribute it back.

In a nutshell, the method simply posts an ATOM entry representing the object to the secondary folder's "getChildren" URL.
