I'm trying to upload files with the upload script to a space I created (Incoming Files). I want to know how many children this space already has, so I can generate a unique prefix to avoid double names.However, I get a null pointer exception when I try to access the children property of the space I created. I can access the children property of already existing space with no problem (eg Guest Home). See he code below:
incoming1 = companyhome.childByNamePath("Guest Home");
incoming2 = companyhome.childByNamePath("Incoming Files");
logger.log("incoming 1: " + incoming1.properties.name);
logger.log("incoming 2: " + incoming2.properties.name);
logger.log("incoming 1 children: " + incoming1.children.length);
logger.log("incoming 2 children: " + incoming2.children.length);
This gives the following output:
16:33:34,919 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger] incoming 1: Guest Home
16:33:34,929 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger] incoming 2: Incoming Files
16:33:34,939 DEBUG [org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger] incoming 1 children: 2

The null pointer exception is at line 43, which is: logger.log("incoming 2 children: " + incoming2.children.length);Accessing incoming.properties.children.length gives a null pointer exception in both cases (line 42), as does incoming.properties["cm:contains"].length. This is all inside the upload.post.js script, which works fine except or this. Stijn
