how to retrieve DataList items' content for a site? :(

[sandhya25186]

so far ive tried CMIS
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/cmis/s/workspacepacesStore/i/fc9545c6-c5cb-40f4-a174-fa71869e2a12/c...
but the link gives me 404 page not found error (Im successfully reahcing the DataList item node identifiers)

then i tried WebScript APIs

POST /alfresco/service/slingshot/datalists/data/site/{site}/{container}/{list} becomes :-
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/slingshot/datalists/data/site/test/dataLists/list/f84c2510-f0...

but this is also giving me null pointer exception
will somebody tell me where i am going wrong? or an alternative way to access the contents of a datalist's items…

There's a JSON body that needs to be POSTed. Use Firebug or Web Inspector on Share's datalist page to see the format.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, Thanks!

Here's what it expects in the post body:
{"fields":["cm_title","cm_description","dl_ganttStartDate","dl_ganttEndDate","dl_taskAssignee","dl_taskPriority","dl_taskStatus","dl_ganttPercentComplete","dl_taskComments","cm_attachments"],"filter":{"filterData":"","filterId":"all"}}

I wish you luck in your quest!

yess!!!!!

Just the Post body had to be sent and it was all there !!!
first the
field items in the Json Body needed to be determined by :-
http://localhost:8080/share/service/components/data-lists/config/columns?itemType={dl: datalist type e.g. dl:location}

then  the field Items to be populated in the Post body as
{"fields":["cm_title","dl_locationAddress1","dl_locationAddress2","dl_locationAddress3","dl_locationZip","dl_locationState","dl_locationCountry","cm_description","cm_attachments"],"filter":{"filterData":"","filterId":"all"}}

Result : DataItems in The datalist.

Thanks a bunch Richard and Mike !!! u guys rock  😎  😎  😎

hi all,

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-3172 was closed with a comment that it works as designed and when modelling the attachment as a cm:content, the relations should show up in the getRelationships CMIS request.

this does not seem to work. possibly i've messed up something in the configuration.

i've got following model:
