Get WebDav URI from NodeRef

Hello,

I'm new to Alfresco and I'm trying to implement a listener to integrate with another system that will be triggered when a file (or folder) is created, deleted, updated and versioned. I’ve created a behaviour and binded to the policies onContentUpdate, onCreateNode, onUpdateNode… etc. I'm using java.
Now I need to get some properties from the file that triggered that policy. How can I, for example, get the WebDav URL from the NodeRef of the file?

Kind regards,

Pedro Saraiva

This is how it's done in org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptNode:

    public String getWebdavUrl()
    {
        try
        {
            List<FileInfo> paths = this.services.getFileFolderService().getNamePath(null, getNodeRef());
            
            // build up the webdav url
            StringBuilder path = new StringBuilder(128);
            path.append("/webdav");
            
            // build up the path skipping the first path as it is the root folder
            for (int i=1; i<paths.size(); i++)
            {
                path.append("/")
                    .append(URLEncoder.encode(paths.get(i).getName()));
            }
            return path.toString();
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException nodeErr)
        {
            // cannot build path if file no longer exists
            return "";
        }
    }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks,
