How to programmatically create space?

[amit_wmw]

Hello,

Can anybody please suggest me how to programmatically (java) create space under companyHome? A sample code will be of great help!

Thanks,
Amit.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The org.alfresco.cache.globalConfigCache Cache is not alive.‍

Why? Any idea about the problem and the solution?

I have the same error trying to access Alfresco suddenly - but on that particular Alfresco installation I did not do anything programmatically, it is quite a default installation.

Try to get the node service this way :

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
NodeService nodeService = Repository.getServiceRegistry(context).getNodeService();
