repositoryHelper in WCMQS

[lemmy]

Hi,

I'm trying to access the repository within an Java-backed Webscript. Hence I'm trying to inject the repositoryHelper in wcmqs-webapp-context.xml:

<bean id="webscript.calendar.display.get" 
      class="de.landhausanders.wcm.client.calendar.CalendarWebScript"
      parent="webscript">
       <property name="repository" ref="repositoryHelper" />
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Unfortunately the repositoryHelper bean is not yet defined 😞

I've found the bean in Alfresco folder in file bootstrap-context.xml. Since wcmqs doesn't contain this file I'm trying to use copy everything regarding repositoryHelper into wcmqs-webapp-context.xml.

Is this the recommended way?

Thanks,
Lemmy

No. You seem to be in the wrong tier. The repository helper bean lives in the repository tier - it can never be used in the web tier (which is where the WQS webapp lives).

If you describe what you are trying to achieve then I'll try to help.

I'm using a java-backed web-script MyWebScript.java for rendering a complex page. The rendering needs the data stored in a text-file stored in share. I've described the solution for the next newbie. It may save a couple of hours 🙂

I've found out that webSiteService can be injected in file wcmqs-webapp-context.xml by

<bean id="webscript.calendar.display.get" 
      class="com.samples.wcm.client.MyWebScript"
      parent="webscript">
      <property name="webSiteService" ref="webSiteService"/> 
</bean>

The MyWebScript class should have a private member

private WebSiteService webSiteService;‍

with setters and getters.

The text-file can be read by

WebSite website = webSiteService.getWebSite("localhost", 8080, "wcmqs");      
Asset textfile= website.getAssetByPath("/section/file.txt");
ContentStream cs = textfile.getContentAsInputStream();
InputStream input = cs.getStream();
String text = "";

int data = input.read();
while(data != -1) {      
   text = text + (char) data;            
   data = input.read();
}
input.close();
