Remote Alfresco API rivet

[rivetlogic]

RAAr

RAAr is an abstraction layer for remote communication with Alfresco ECM. RAAr provides a simple, Java-based local library that may be used by one or more content rich applications and allows these applications to interface to Alfresco (including multiple Alfresco repositories from the same application). RAAr's lower layers handle communication to remote Alfresco instances over ReSTful calls to Alfresco that get mapped to calls to the Alfresco Foundation Services (AFS) API.

Motivation for RAAr

Certain classes of content rich applications require one or more of the following:

* Remote full coverage of the AFS API (e.g., version management and version history traversal, dictionary services for model introspection, multi-store access, etc.)
* Streaming content directly from the application and not from Alfresco (i.e., not using download servlet)
* SSO support
* Middle-tier business logic within the application where not all processing is done on Alfresco app server
* Support for un-marshalling of result sets

Hi RivetLogic.
Do you have a commercial license for Raar or planning to move client jars on more integration-friendly licence than GPL??

[rivetlogic]

I believe that can be addressed with a written exemption from the GPL constraints. You can reach out to us directly with your needs.

Hello RivetLogic!
Which PropertyDefinition parameters are supported by Raar?
Seems mandatory parameter on PropertyDefinition always false, after using the :

getDictionaryService().getProperty(myTicket, typeQName , propertyQName)
‍‍

My type definition(mandatory=true) :

      <type name="tc:generalDoc">
         <title>General Document</title>
…
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <archive>true</archive>
         <properties>
            <property name="tc:invVendor">
               <title>Vendor for Invoice</title>
               <type>d:text</type>
               <mandatory>true</mandatory>
               <index enabled="true">
         <atomic>true</atomic>
         <stored>false</stored>
              <tokenised>false</tokenised>
          </index>
            </property>
        </properties>
…
      </type>

Hi there!
Is RAAr going to be developed further to be used in Alfresco 4.0.x?

[rivetlogic]

Support for Alfresco 4.0.d Community, and 4.0.0 Enterprise is now ready. You can download it here: http://raar.rivetlogic.com

Hi,

I'm currently testing Alfresco Enterprise 3.4.10. Which version of Raar must I use? I've found only 3.4.2E and I'm not sure it will be compatible.
Thanks by advance for your answer,

Brownshoe75

[rivetlogic]

Give 3.4.2E a try, and if you run into issues file a JIRA ticket here: http://issues.rivetlogic.com/browse/cma and we'll work on it as soon as we're able to.

Hi

We are looking for an alternative for the old SOAP webservices API to do bulk uploads. RAAr seems a good candidate, but is it able to a bulk creation of nodes? We want to create multiple nodes without doing a call to alfresco for each node, because it is a lot faster. I read something about transaction support, but it was not clear to me if it is already implemented and if it meets this requirement.

kind regards

Hi
I'm getting this run time exception while connecting to the Alfresco server———–>  Caused by AuthenticationFailure: com.rivetlogic.core.cma.exception.CmaRuntimeException

I'm using grails version 2.3.3 and alfresco version 2.3.3 and  alfresco-mmt-2.1.0.jar and  cma-alfresco-1.8.3.amp file to connect to the server. from bootstrape i'm saving the url, username and password of the remote alfresco server. Now when i'm trying to connect to the server i'm getting this exception.

Also when i clone the grails-alfresco plugin from https://github.com/cocodinos/grails-alfresco-plugin/tree/master, there is no bin folder available there so what i did, made a bin folder and installed the copy the amp and mmt.jar files there and installed there using(java -jar alfresco-mmt-2.1.0.jar install /root/alfresco-recordsmanagement-2.1.0.amp /usr/jboss-4.0.3SP1/server/default/deploy/alfresco.war).
Please help me in finding what i'm doing wrong thanks in advance
