Create users and groups using alfresco service java api maven dependencies

[justind]

Hello, I am trying to create users and groups in my web application using the alfresco java api. The problem is that even though I've tried the code but I do not have the right maven dependencies that would import the libraries that would make the code implementable.

Here's my code, Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, thanks:

public class UserManagement {

    AlfrescoClient client = new AlfrescoClient.Builder().connect("http://localhost:8080/alfresco", "admin", "admin").build();
    PeopleAPI peopleAPI = client.getPeopleAPI();

    public UserManagement(String userName, String password) {
        if (authenticationService.authenticationExists(userName) == false)
        {
            authenticationService.createAuthentication(userName, password.toCharArray());

            Map user = new Map();
            user.put(ContentModel.PROP_USERNAME, userName);
            user.put(ContentModel.PROP_FIRSTNAME, "firstName");
            user.put(ContentModel.PROP_LASTNAME, "lastName");
            user.put(ContentModel.PROP_EMAIL, userName+"@example.com");
            user.put(ContentModel.PROP_JOBTITLE, "jobTitle");

            NodeRef person = personService.createPerson(user);

            // ...
        }
    }


if (!personService.personExists("tuser1")) {
        personService.createPerson(createDefaultProperties("tuser1", "Test", "User1", "tuser1@localhost", "password"));
        if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Created tuser1 person");
    }

    if (!personService.personExists("tuser1")) {
        personService.createPerson(createDefaultProperties("tuser1", "Test", "User1", "tuser1@localhost", "password"));
        if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug("Created tuser1 person");
    }
}

You are not using the Java API - you are apparently using the public ReST API via the alfresco-java-client library (which is not providing access to the Java API, which might be confusing based on its name). You also have a weird combination of dependencies, including the web services client, which is no longer applicable since web services have been removed for a while now. The alfresco-opencmis-extension is also obsolete/unnecessary since CMIS 1.1 allows you to deal with aspects in a standard way.

If you want to work with the Java API, you may be better off to start with an Alfresco SDK project instead of a custom Maven setup. If you want to continue with a custom Maven setup, you should only need to depend on the alfresco-repository project and should have all dependencies for the Java API.
