Hi @piyush48,

There's a StackOverflow answer that you might find useful.

HTH,

Hi @EddieMay ,

I have referred to that and created my site but in answer ,the site is created by javascript function and we are using abstractWebscript to create the site. Could you please help me out how could i create it using AbstractWebscript only.

Thanks,

Piyush

Hi @piyush48,

In the StackOverflow answer, it states that you can't use a WebScript as

Creation of sites in Alfresco is done by invoking a Share module

Could you look into using the ReST API - http://localhost/api-explorer/#!/sites/createSite?

@piyush48 There ways to create site. @EddieMay provided a link that has thread on creating site, which intern calls repository apis and does the job. You can create surf webscript to create site.

You can also create java or js webscript on repository side to create the site like you are doing.

The code you have written is somewhat correct but there are several issues with your code including a compilation error. You are trying to instantiate an Interface named "SiteInfo". Interface can not be directly instantiated. It is always good to try and debug and check the errors.

This return statement is wrong:

return new SiteInfo(siteInfo, this.serviceRegistry, this.siteService);

when you call below method:

this.siteService.createSite(sitePreset, shortName, title, description, siteVisibility);

It returns the SiteInfo type of object. You can simply return it from your method. Example:

public SiteInfo createSite(String sitePreset, String shortName, String title, String description,
			String visibility) {
   ParameterCheck.mandatoryString("visibility", visibility);
   SiteVisibility siteVisibility = SiteVisibility.valueOf(visibility);
   return this.siteService.createSite(sitePreset, shortName, title, description, siteVisibility);
}

Refer:
https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-repository/blob/master/src/main/java/org/alfresco/service/cmr/site/SiteService.java#L86
https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-repository/blob/master/src/main/java/org/alfresco/service/cmr/site/SiteInfo.java
https://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/org/alfresco/service/cmr/site/SiteService.html#createSite-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-org.alfresco.service.cmr.site.SiteVisibility-

I also don't see where you are calling "createSite" method in your execute(WebScriptRequest, WebScriptResponse) method?

Also these declarations are unnecessary:

private SiteInfo siteInfo;
private ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;

public void setServiceRegistry(ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry)
{
  this.serviceRegistry = serviceRegistry;
}

You are just using SiteService, so SiteInfo and ServiceRegistry are not required in this specific webscript.

Class naming is not correct :

Wrong class naming:

siteCreation

Correct class naming:

SiteCreation
