uploading content

[tog]

Hi,

I know there is a web service interface to alfresco but I was wondering if it was possible to upload content using either a command line (curl for example) or by doing a POST request to the server ?

Cheers

I am also interested in this. The WebScriptRequest doesn't provide access to the underlying input stream. I can't see a way of gaining access to it under the covers either. Can anyone suggest a way of getting it, or give a good reason why one shouldn't get it?

Hi,
there is a UploadContentServlet: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/URL_Addressability#UploadContentServlet

Or you can roll your own Web Script, which allows you to pass in arbitrary metadata in the same HTTP request:

Thanks,

Great. Thank you both very much.

Hi Mike,
Actually, the doc said it is available in Enterprise edition. I downloaded a trial enterprise version but was not able to find this sample.
Can someone help me on this ?

Best Regards

The sample doesn't ship with the product - just create it yourself from the wiki text.

Thanks,
Mike

Ok I see, thanks for your quick answer.
So what prevent me to use it with the community edition ? - I would feel more comfortable if I can do my mock up with this version and move afterwards to an enterprise edition.

Thanks

You might find one of the JavaScript APIs is missing in 2.1 Community. It'll be in v2.9 though. Try it and see what happens!

Thanks Mike,
I implemented what I found on the wiki.
When I try to run it I am denied the rights to run the script with this error:
I might be missing something here 😉

Best Regards
