How to use the move-to script ?

[andreim]

Hi ,

I need to move a file from one Alfresco space to another using a REST api.

I tried to use the

/alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/action/move-to/node/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}/{path}‍

url with the following parameters:

store_type = workspace
store_id = SpacesStore
id = the id of the file I want to move
path = the path of the space where I want to move the file

I got the following error :

{
    "status" : 
  {
    "code" : 500,
    "name" : "Internal Error",
    "description" : "An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

  },

Could someone please explain why the script returns an error ?

Thanks in advance,

store_type = workspace
store_id = SpacesStore
id = the id of the file I want to move
path = the path of the space where I want to move the file

Because those parameters aren't correct. The nodeRef (or Share site/container/path) in the URL specifies the destination node (path is optional and probably not required for nodeRef URL formats).

You then need to post a JSON body to the web script with a "nodeRefs" variable containing an array of nodeRefs that you want to move to the destination.

e.g.

POST http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/action/move-to/node/workspace/SpacesStore/12....
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8

{"nodeRefs":["workspace://SpacesStore/6425469d-8b02-4850-806b-28a538def0e6","workspace://SpacesStore/a9c7fcb8-8827-42fb-a61d-cccf98f93d95","workspace://SpacesStore/38451091-ac67-42d6-9ad5-cabb2f5ef722"]}‍‍‍‍

I tried with the

'/alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/action/move-to/node/workspace/SpacesStore/destination_folder_id{"nodeRefs":["workspace://SpacesStore/file_I_want_to_move_id"]}'‍

url and with the

'/alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/action/move-to/node/workspace/SpacesStore/destination_folder_id/{"nodeRefs":["workspace://SpacesStore/file_I_want_to_move_id"]}'‍

url but it didn't work.

I always get the following error :

Is the url correct or should I pass the json body to the webscript in a different way ?
Could you please tell me where is the mistake ?

The JSON needs to be in the request body, not on the URL.

Thank you for your replies.

Could you please tell me how to access the request body ?
I need to call the web script via an Ajax call.
How can I pass the json to the Ajax request ?

Thanks,
Andrei

[mikeh]

Easiest way is with a JavaScript framework like YUI:

YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest(method, url, callback, dataStr);‍

Where dataStr would be the JSON body, e.g.

dataStr = YAHOO.lang.JSON.stringify(nodeRefsArray);‍
