Hello,
I create a User Groups using a web service. Then I would like to rename the group created by another name using web service.
Post http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=21490 talking about AuthorityService.

Is there a way to find AuthorityServiceImpl using web service?

Is there another method to rename User Groups using web service?

Thank you!

This is the code to create a User Group:

public StringBuilder createGroup(String alfrescoAxisUrl,
         String parentGroupName, String groupName)
         throws AccessControlFault, RemoteException {

      StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

      AccessControlServiceSoapBindingStub accessControlService = WebServiceFactory
            .getAccessControlService(alfrescoAxisUrl);
      // test if exist group name
      AuthorityFilter authorityFilter = new AuthorityFilter();
      authorityFilter.setAuthorityType(GROUP);

      String[] allAuthorities = accessControlService
            .getAllAuthorities(authorityFilter);

      Boolean existGroup = ArrayUtils.contains(allAuthorities,
            Constants.GROUP_PREFIX + groupName);

      if (!existGroup) {
         NewAuthority newAuthorityGroup = new NewAuthority(GROUP, groupName);
         NewAuthority[] newAuthorities = { newAuthorityGroup };

         if (parentGroupName != null) {
            parentGroupName = Constants.GROUP_PREFIX + parentGroupName;
         }
         accessControlService.createAuthorities(parentGroupName,
               newAuthorities);
         stringBuilder.append("parentGroupName = ");
         stringBuilder.append(parentGroupName);
         stringBuilder.append(", groupName = ");
         stringBuilder.append(groupName);
         logger.info(stringBuilder.toString());
      } else {
         stringBuilder.append("group = ");
         stringBuilder.append(groupName);
         stringBuilder.append(" already exists");
         logger.info(stringBuilder.toString());
      }
      stringBuilder.append("\n");
      return stringBuilder;
   }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I don't think you can change the "groupName".    

You can change a group's "display name" through the "groups" web script or the authority service.

Hello,
problem centered, I would like to change a group's "display name" using web service.

Is there a method to invoke a web script programmatically, in a java class?

Thank you.

Another way to rename groups' "display name"  using web services can be something like that

Hello,
thank you for your response. I would like to rename the group "test" in "test123". My java main is
public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         WebServiceFactory
               .setEndpointAddress("http://192.168.11.235:8080/alfresco/api");
         AuthenticationUtils.startSession("admin", "admin");
         renameGroup1("test", "test12345");
         AuthenticationUtils.endSession();
      } catch (AuthenticationFault e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
but I have a java.lang.NullPointerException
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
   at it.eng.alfresco.webservice.space.creation.test.TestRenameGroup.renameGroup1(TestRenameGroup.java:73)
   at it.eng.alfresco.webservice.space.creation.test.TestRenameGroup.main(TestRenameGroup.java:97)‍‍‍

Node[] nodes is null.

Is there a parameter that I must change in renameGroup method?

Is there, perhaps, a problem in the query?

Regards

Hello,
after some tests, I suppose this a problem in group's authorityDisplayName.
This is the step of test in Alfresco 3.2r2.

1. Login as alfresco admin
2. Create a rootGroup named test
3. This is the principal properties that I see in Alfresco Node Browser for group test
Properties
Reference: workspace://SpacesStore/1fe88e02-6e91-4c6d-8c88-f4d3114c1112
Name: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}authorityName   
Value: GROUP_test
Name: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}store-identifier   
Value: SpacesStore
Name: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}authorityDisplayName   
Value: test
Name: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}store-protocol   
Value: workspace‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
4. I start the web service java main for rename authorityDisplayName property
public class TestRenameGroup {
    public static void renameGroup5(String uuid, String authorityDisplayName) {
      RepositoryServiceSoapBindingStub repositoryService = WebServiceFactory
            .getRepositoryService();
      try {
         Store store = new Store("workspace", "SpacesStore");
         Reference reference = new Reference(store, uuid, null);
         Reference[] references = { reference };
         NamedValue[] namedValues = new NamedValue[] { Utils.createNamedValue("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}authorityDisplayName", authorityDisplayName) };
         Predicate predicate = new Predicate(references, store, null);
         CMLUpdate update = new CMLUpdate(namedValues, predicate, null);
         CML cml = new CML();
         cml.setUpdate(new CMLUpdate[] { update });
         UpdateResult[] updateResults = repositoryService.update(cml);
         for (UpdateResult updateResult : updateResults) {
            System.out.println(updateResult.getStatement());
         }
      } catch (RepositoryFault e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (RemoteException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         WebServiceFactory
               .setEndpointAddress("http://192.168.11.235:8080/alfresco/api");
         AuthenticationUtils.startSession("admin", "admin");
         renameGroup5("1fe88e02-6e91-4c6d-8c88-f4d3114c1112", "Test2_A");
         AuthenticationUtils.endSession();
      } catch (AuthenticationFault e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
5. This is the principal properties that I see in Alfresco Node Browser for group test now!
Properties
Reference: workspace://SpacesStore/1fe88e02-6e91-4c6d-8c88-f4d3114c1112
Name: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}authorityName   
Value: GROUP_test
Name: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}store-identifier   
Value: SpacesStore
Name: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}authorityDisplayName   
Value: Test2_A
Name: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0}store-protocol   
Value: workspace‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
6. Logout Alfresco
7. Login as alfresco admin
8. Go in Manage User Groups
9. I see the display name group test.
It's not display name Test2_A.

Why?

This problem there is also I use web script, see

Try to rename parameter's value
    {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}authorityName

Note: the value of this parameter must be added the prefix: "GROUP_"+the_new_value

The first test was correct. Alfresco Explorer doesn't display authority display names. Only Share.
