roothome.childByNamePath()

[koolalfdev]

Hello All,

I have my web scripts in the classpath:alfresco/extension/templates/webscripts/myWebscripts.

I have a java script file test.get.js that creates an object and sets it in the model.data = "testData". I want to call the node.processTemplate(template) and the ftl file is in the same directory but when I do   var temp = roothome.childByNamePath(alfresco/extension/templates/webscripts/myWebscripts/test.ftl) it returns null.

Kindly help I have deliverable coming up this Friday

Thanks

I don't think it's possible to do what you are trying, e.g. get a node reference to a file that resides on the file system.

As a last resort you could always put your Freemarker templates / JavaScript files in the repo itself, e.g. Data Dictionary -> Web Scripts, and then use childByNamePath(…) For example:

var node = companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/Web Scripts/test.ftl");

hi koolalfdev

I also tried to use the similar function (getChildByName) in a java project I had and no mater what I tried I always got null as a result
the only solution I found was to execute a lucene query for the exact path+filename and get the first node on the result array

as seen below in the Java example

      String query = "+PATH:\"app:company_home/app:dictionary/app:email_templates/cm:template.ftl\"";
      SearchService searchService = serviceRegistry.getSearchService();
      StoreRef storeRef = new StoreRef(StoreRef.PROTOCOL_WORKSPACE,
            "SpacesStore");
      ResultSet resultSet = searchService.query(storeRef,
            SearchService.LANGUAGE_LUCENE, query);
      NodeRef template = resultSet.getNodeRef(0);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

hope this helps you
