[SOLVED] Content web service and Lucene

vsuarez

Hello.

I previously post this message in the "Repository Services" forum, but this could be a better place.

I'm working with Alfresco web services, and almost everything is working well. But I have a problem with the content web service, specially with de uploaded content: lucene is not indexing such content.

If I upload a document with the web client, I can search into its contents with the web client search tool, and with the methods of the repository web service too. But if I use the content web service ("write" method), I can not search into the uploaded contents in this way, either with web client nor with repository web service methods.

I think the indexing lack is due to the creation method: you first create a empty content with the repository web service "update" method (CML create) and then you upload the content with the content web service "write" method. I guess Lucene is not being triggered in the content upload.

Is this a Alfresco-bug? Is this a programmer-bug?

Hi,

All content uploaded ultimately goes through the fundamental content service API which triggers the indexing of content.

Content uploaded via any route should be successfully indexed.

Could you provide a snipit of the web service code you are using to upload content.

Cheers,
Roy

Ok, let's go (I am not using the Axis client, I am using a JAX-WS client):

//First, I create the container
CML cml = new CML();
CML.Create create = new CML.Create();
create.setId("create_1");

List<NamedValue> propertyList = new ArrayList<NamedValue>();

//CM_NAME={http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}name
NamedValue nv = createNamedValue(CM_NAME, name);
propertyList.add(nv);

//CM_DESCRIPTION={http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description
NamedValue nvd = createNamedValue(CM_DESCRIPTION, description);
propertyList.add(nvd);

//CM_TITLE={http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}title
NamedValue nvt = createNamedValue(CM_TITLE, title);
propertyList.add(nvt);

create.getProperty().addAll(propertyList);

Store store = createDefaultStore();

//creates a ParentReference
ParentReference parentReference = 
      createParent(store, path, parentPath);

//JAX-WS annoying JAXBElement with nillable SOAP elements. This is the same in Axis client 
//that create.setParent(parentReference);
create.setParent(
      new JAXBElement<ParentReference>(
         QName.valueOf(CML_PARENT), 
         ParentReference.class, 
         parentReference));

create.setType(type);

cml.getCreate().add(create);


List<UpdateResult> r = null;
try {
   r = repoPort.update(cml);
} catch (RepositoryFault_Exception e) {
   throw new RuntimeException(
         e.getFaultInfo().getErrorCode() + ", " +
         e.getFaultInfo().getMessage(), e);
}
//at this point, we can see the content in the web client, buy empty

//Now, I fill the containter with data (a curious Spanish "palíndromo")
byte[] data = "Dábale arroz a la zorra el abad".getBytes("utf-8");

//creates a Reference (in this case, with a valid path, id is ignored)
Reference reference = createReference(store, path, id);

ContentFormat format = new ContentFormat();
format.setMimetype("text/plain");
format.setEncoding("utf-8");

try {
//CM_CONTENT={http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content
   contentPort.write(reference, CM_CONTENT, data, format);
} catch (ContentFault_Exception e) {
   throw new RuntimeException(
         e.getFaultInfo().getErrorCode() + ", " +
         e.getFaultInfo().getMessage(), e);
}
//at this point, we have uploaded the content, and we can access to it by the web client.

I cannot find the document with the search engine, but if I put the same text in other document by the web client interface, the search engine is able to find this document.

NOTE: I've found that there is a little difference between the way Alfresco web client manages the opening of the two document types:

SOAP uploaded document: force the download of the document.
Web client created document: open the document in another browser window/tab

Is this a Alfresco-bug? Is this a programmer-bug?

Programmer bug

ops:

I was using "plain/txt" as MIME type. The correct MIME type is "text/plain".

Now indexing is working.

Thank you.
