createCategory(Parent, Name) using the WebService

[vbayon]

Hi all,
(my first post to this forum)

Is it possible to create a new category via the webservice client?

I think that I am looking for a method similar to this one:

thanks a lot for your help

Hi,

You may want to take a look to Classification Web Service. You can use it (see 'setCategories') to apply some categories to some nodes (identified by the predicate object)…

Is that what you're looking for? Hope it is…

Hi Enrique,
thanks a lot for your quick answer!

I had a look at setCategories and for what I understand I need to have the category already existing in Alfresco so that I can obtain its path or UUID and then assign it to the content. What I need is to create a totally new category from the WebService.

I have followed this (very useful) example but also assumes that we have already the categories

Oooopss…

It seems that that feature is scheduled for a future release… at least, according to the wiki… =/

I'm not an Alfresco developer, so I can't tell if it's already implemented in Alfresco 2.0 (that page was updated for last time on November 2006…) Try to use the method described there… if repository doesn't recognize it… I assume that creating a category is not available yet =(

Maybe an Alfresco developer could tell you more… sorry.

Enrique
