Hi Praveen,
I've successfully downloaded the project, tested and all have worked properly.
That's good. Just another question for you:
Do you have any idea of where can I find additional information about the raar project? I've found API of some previous versions, but nothing else.
Maybe additional examples, or something else.
I think it would be easy to request information to Alfresco trough this API instead start researching of how to use  web scripts.

Thanks,

Guido.

Hi Guido,

RAAR's JavaDocs are located at: http://docs.rivetlogic.com/projects/cma/1.7.1/javadocs/

We'll be posting the code to a real project that uses RAAR this week. Stay tuned

Hi,

First of all thanks for the response.
I would be glad to know if there is a possibility to show me how to get all the content from a specific space throw this API. I'm not sure if this functionality is actually provided by it.
Maybe some workaround could be to make a search in a specific space and retrieve the content from it, but I do not know if this is possible also, I couldn't find the way to do this type of search.

If you have any idea, please let me know.

Thanks,

Guido.-

Hi,

The way to do that would be through the search service. You'd basically need to craft a lucene query, pass it as an argument to the search service's query() method and get a list of nodes back.

For example, if you want to get all the files and folders inside of an Alfresco folder under 'Company Home' called 'My Folder' you could do something like this:

Create a list of properties that you want to retrieve for each node:

public static final List<QName> QUERY_PROPERTIES = new Vector<QName>(6, 1) {
   private static final long serialVersionUID = 5649490531607878780L;
   {
      add(ContentModel.PROP_NAME);
      add(ContentModel.PROP_CREATOR);
      add(ContentModel.PROP_CREATED);
      add(ContentModel.PROP_MODIFIED);
      add(ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT);
      add(ContentModel.PROP_AUTHOR);
   }
};
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Create a format string to hold your lucene query:

/**
 * Produces a Lucene query that would get all content and folder nodes, except system folders, within the supplied path
 * non-recursively.
 */
public static final String FORMAT_QUERY = "+PATH:\"%s/*\" +(TYPE:\"" + ContentModel.TYPE_FOLDER
      + "\" OR TYPE:\"" + ContentModel.TYPE_CONTENT + "\") -TYPE:\"" + ContentModel.TYPE_SYSTEM_FOLDER + "\"";
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Plug the path into the query string:

String queryStr = String.format(FORMAT_QUERY, "/app:company_home/cm:My Folder");
‍‍‍

Then execute the query method:

/**
 * Return a maximum of 100 nodes inside the given folder path
 */
List<Node> results = searchService.query(ticket, new StoreRef("workspace://SpacesStore"),
      SearchService.QueryLanguage.lucene, queryStr,
      new Vector<QName>(QUERY_PROPERTIES), false, false, false, false,
      null, 100, null);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

That's it. The variable "results" will contain all the nodes inside of 'My Folder'. You would also be able to extract the values of the meta data you requested using the Node.getProperties() method.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

We've seen a problem with Alfresco's 3.0 Community version (downloaded from the Alfresco website). Check your logs to make sure this is not the problem you're facing.

Basically the Alfresco 3.0 Community download is missing the following method:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.AccessPermission.getPosition()

This method is available in the Enterprise version which is what we test RAAr against.

Therefore your options are to:

- Use a free trial Alfresco Enterprise 3.0 version

OR

- Checkout the HEAD of the Alfresco Community source from SVN and verify that this method is there, then compile/build alfresco.war

Hope this helps,

Hey all, thanks in advance for the help.  I'm writing a file movement utility using the RAAR 1.5 api and Alf 2.1.  I'm noticing that when a node is copied in the same folder, the paths of the two nodes remain identical.  How does one change the path of the new node once it's created.  Also, is there a way to copy a node and specify the new name?

How do you change the password for the users programatically?
