How to list programeticly list of files

[yasir_mahmood]

Hi,
I have to program a task (method) that displays the list of files that a user can read/Write. I am very new to Alfresco World. I have tried to run and study SDK Samples. But I could not find any example to perform the above task. I will use this list to allow the user to select and then do the operation (open, edit, etc.) on it.

Has any body done this before? I need help. please inform me about the helpful docs.Any code example that can help to start with.

Regards

Zulfi

Not sure of an exact module offhand, but you can find more code under http://forge.alfresco.com/

Hi,
which way do you want to access the alfresco repository? If you're in the same java vm process, you could directly use the alfresco Foundation services API (a plain java api based on the alfresco spring service beans like nodeService and contentService).
If your aren't in the same java vm process you should use the WebServices API (SOAP) or the more lightweight WebScript API (RESTful Services) instead.
Use this page at your starting point: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Developer_Guide
and perhaps take a look at jeff potts famous developer article series: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series
