Hi
I try to update the properties (title, description, …) through the REST API but I do not succeed.
With a cmis client it works fine but I do not want to add the apache chemistry jar's to my project. I prefer doing all the manipulations (login, search, retrieve, update) through the rest api. I also prefer doing all the data exchange with json format and not with xml. (like the result of a search 'alfresco/service/api/search' )
I managed to get quite a lot to do without adding cmis jar's to my project but updating the properties of a content requires according to the documentation an atomentry which is an xml content.
I can generate this xml content by hand but it is quite noisy and when I have to do that I can alos include the jar's which generate it for me.
Is there a way in alfresco (4.1 or 4.2) to do all the manipulations through the REST API with JSON ? If so how (mainly for updating the properties) ?
Here is what I managed to get to work
alfresco/service/api/login -> get Login token = JSON : perfect
alfresco/service/api/search/keyword.atom -> get search result : XML 😞
alfresco/service/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/538653c7…….. -> get content = DATA : perfect
alfresco/service/api/metadata -> get Properties = JSON : perfect
alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/53865….. -> put of new properties : XML atomentry 😞
I tried to update the metadata through the 'Node Metadata Storage Service' service (POST /alfresco/service/api/metadata/node/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}) which sends me back a 'successfull' in JSON format, but the properties are not modified in alfresco. So what is this service good for ?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
