Obtain a List with a constraint list allowed values

[falcon]

Hi,
I have defined a custom type metadata, like this:

<constraints>   <constraint name="my:constraintList" type="LIST">      <parameter name="allowedValues">         <list>            <value>OPTION 1</value>            <value>OPTION 2</value>             <value>OPTION 3</value>         </list>      </parameter>      <parameter name="caseSensitive">         <value>false</value>       </parameter>   </constraint></constraints><types><type name="my:typeTest">   <title>TEST TYPE</title>   <parent>cm:content</parent>      <properties>               <property name="my:propertyTest">            <title>TEST PROPERTY</title>            <type>d:text</type>            <mandatory>false</mandatory>            <constraints>              <constraint ref="my:constraintList" />            </constraints>         </property>                  </properties></type></types>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

How can I have a List in Java or Javascritp of the allowed values of my constraint to send it by a webscript?

Thanks for help

call it with :
getListOfValuesConstraint(dictionaryService, QName.createQName(
            "yourURI",
            "propertyTest");

Thanks for your reply!

I dont understand where I can find DictionaryService.

Can you give me an example please?

this bean will be injected by Spring IoC layer… see faces-config-beans.xml, or any file in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension that ends up with "-context.xml" to see how services are built

Is there any way of using the translation functionality for a List constrains ?
i.e  is there a <label> tag you can use or something ?

<value label="id-aaa">aaaa</value>

I also want to obtain the list of constraint values, however, the obove mentioned line:

propertyDef.getConstraints();‍

I don't have a getContraints member in PropertyDefinition class. I use the remote WebService API from Alfresco 3.2.
What am I doing wrong?

[ricvieira]

I also need to get a list of values from a contraint using WebServices API, but I cant find it anywhere

Can someone help please ?

tnx
