retrieve properties type

[abichet]

i add on a document this type :

<type name="custom:advancedFile">
   <title>Advanced File</title>
   <parent>cm:content</parent>
        <properties>
      <property name="custom:client">
         <type>d:text</type>
      </property>
      <property name="custom:techno">
         <type>d:text</type>
      </property>
      <property name="custom:typeProjet">
         <type>d:text</type>
      </property>
   </properties>
</type>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

in edit document mode i set this properties to value.

this code in java bean

Map<QName, Serializable> properties = this.nodeService.getProperties(createdNode);
‍‍

retrieve all properties of the data.

but i want to retrieve only the properties defined in the type  custom:advancedFile

what can i do ?

We don't have the ability to retrieve a subset of properties at the moment.

However, you can get individual properties with:

Serializable prop = this.nodeService(nodeRef, QName.createQName("your-uri", "prop-name");‍

Alternatively you could use the data dictionary to get the properties of the type and retrieve them using the node service (useful if you don't know what the properties may be).

Hope that helps.

thanks
i have a other question
i look the classe QName.In this classe there is  a function called    toPrefixString() .
im my code i retrieve a property in a  QName but this function toPrefixString() retrieve only the name but not the prefix .
i dont understand why.
i would like to use this function to do the difference  between all the properties and only the custom type property but it don't work.

[abichet]

so when i declare my properties type i add an other prefix in the name:

<type name="custom:advancedFolder">
         <title>Advanced Folder</title>
         <parent>cm:folder</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="custom:customClient">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="custom:customTechno">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
            <property name="custom:customTypeProjet">
               <type>d:text</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </type>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and to do the diffference in the code

if(qname.getLocalName().indexOf("custom") == 0)‍

but it's not very lovely
:wink:

Hi,

toPrefixString() should give you back the short form of your URI plus the local name i.e. "custom:client" this is as opposed to the full form using the URL such as "http://your.custom.uri:client".

getLocalName() returns the part after the : so you should get back "client".

If the toPrefixString() method is not returning the first part it may be because you don't have a namespace prefix resolver. Try using the following:

toPrefixString(NamespacePrefixResolver prefixResolver)‍

You can pass in an instance of the namespace service as the prefix resolver.

i dont understand very well what is the NamespacePrefixResolver

[abichet]

oki it  work
i add:

 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
NamespaceService nameSpace = Repository.getServiceRegistry(context).getNamespaceService();
if(qname.toPrefixString(nameSpace).indexOf("custom:") == 0){}
‍‍‍‍

thanks

other question
what can i do to retrieve the properties of a type by using the data dictionary ?

[abichet]

i have look all the function of DictionaryService class but i not found …

[davidc]

You can try this…

TypeDefinition typeDef = dictionaryService.getType(typeQName);
Map<QName, PropertyDef> propertyDefs = typeDef.getProperties();‍‍
