Java backed - add a comment

[konda]

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a new Web Script to add comment to a node but using the CommentService (Alfresco Community 4.0.d) I can't see any useful method. I was looking for (http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/org/alfresco/repo/forum/CommentService.html#cr... but I can't find it.

Is it missing in my version of Alfresco?

Alternatively how can I achieve this? I tried using the POST /alfresco/service/api/node/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}/comments but I didn't found a complete example of JSON Entity to use.

Thanks


PS I tried with

{
   "title" : "title",
   "content" : "content"
}

entity but I received an Internal Server Error

{
    "status" :

    "code" : 500,

Make sure your content type is application/json.

   HttpClient client = new HttpClient();      client.getState().setCredentials(            new AuthScope("localhost", 8080, "Alfresco"),            new UsernamePasswordCredentials("admin", "admin"));      String uid = "51920ee3-14c0-4477-a637-ab82a0d8df70";      String apiurl = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/'+uid+'/comments";      PostMethod post = new PostMethod(apiurl);      try {         JSONObject site = new JSONObject();         site.put("title", "this is a test title");         site.put("content", "this is a test content");         System.out.println(site.toString());         post.setDoAuthentication(true);         post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");         post.setRequestEntity(new StringRequestEntity(site.toString(),               "application/json", "UTF-8"));         int status = client.executeMethod(post);         if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {            System.err.println("Method failed: " + post.getStatusLine());         }         String resultString = post.getResponseBodyAsString();         System.out.println(resultString);      } catch (Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();      } finally {         post.releaseConnection();      }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for this useful example!

Just one last question: is it possible to invoke the POST using a ticket (alf_ticket or ticket, gained invoking http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin) instead of basic authentication?

Thanks again


PS Solved:       

String apiurl = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/'+uid+'/comments?alf_ticket=TI...";‍
