Retrieve document based on custom property

[deepacp]

Hi,

I am writing a webscript that retrieves a document based on the custom property "shortLink". I am using the code given below to retrieve the node

      var searchQuery = "@vmr\\:shortLink:\"" + documentShortLink + "\"";
      // perform search
      var nodes = search.luceneSearch(searchQuery);

It is unable to find the node. However, I was able to retrieve it by searching for "vmr:shortLink:e91bf03f-328e-457e-a21f-45b4049cc619" on Alfresco Share.

I am new to Alfresco and hence maybe missing something very trivial. Please guide me on where I could have gone wrong.

Thanks
Deepa

That should work.
Have you tested your query using nodebrowser?
Do you get any error messsage on the logs when you run you query?

Thanks! I tried with Node Browser too and it gives me the document. I didn't find any error messages in the logs. It just returns a null value.
I tried implementing the same using Java backed webscripts and it worked fine. I still don't understand why it fails from javascript.

Have you tried to encode it using ISO9075-encoded format ?

var searchQuery = "@vmr\\:shortLink:\"" + documentShortLink + "\"";
var encodedString = search.ISO9075Encode(searchQuery);
var nodes = search.luceneSearch(searchQuery);
