Problem with ACL in OpenCMIS

[jawwad]

Hi,

      I am trying to add ACL to an existing document using OpenCMIS. I ve created ACEs and tried to apply them using addAcl() and apply Acl(). It doesnt give any error when I call these functions so I assume that the ACL is applied successfully. but when I try to get the ACL using getAcl() it returns a null pointer Exception. My code is:

   List<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();
      permissions.add("cmis:all");
      String principal = "admin";
      Ace ace = session.getObjectFactory().createAce(principal, permissions);
                existingBook.addAcl(addAce, AclPropagation.REPOSITORYDETERMINED);
                //Null pointer Exception on this statement
               List<Ace> aceList = existingBook.getAcl().getAces();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

      Can anyone tell me why Acl is still null???? or what am I doing wrong :?:

       Any help will be appriciated. Thanks in advance

When you fetched the object, did you tell OpenCMIS to include the ACL? If not, it will always be null.

Try something like this:

OperationContext oc = session.createOperationContext();
oc.setIncludeAcls(true);

CmisObject existingBook = session.getObject("your id", oc);‍‍‍‍

Thanks Florian. Yes I didnt know that it is necessary to set includeAcls to true. Thanks a lot
