I'm using Alfresco 4.0 version.

I'm trying to write a webscript which creates a new file inside alfresco repository (inside folder "/Company Home/myfolder"), but I can't find a way to do it

By following http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Java-backed_Web_Scripts_Samples examples, I managed to write a webscript which returns a content of a file to user, but how can a java backed webscript generate and store a new (binary) file inside Alfresco repository.

I read a lot of examples and forum posts, but none seem to work for this Alfresco version, or at least I didn't realize how to do it.

I'm using something like:

NodeRef companyHome = repository.getCompanyHome();
List<String> nodes = new ArrayList<String>();
nodes.add("myfolder");

NodeRef where = registry.getFileFolderService().resolveNamePath(companyHome, nodes).getNodeRef();
registry.getFileFolderService().create(where, "myfile",QNAME);‍‍‍‍‍‍

but I don't know what to put for QName parameter. It can't be null.

Thanks.

I managed to create an empty file:

import …
import org.alfresco.model.ContentModel;
import org.alfresco.repo.model.Repository;
import org.alfresco.service.ServiceRegistry;
import org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef;
…
private ServiceRegistry registry;
…
NodeRef companyHome = repository.getCompanyHome();
List<String> nodes = new ArrayList<String>();
nodes.add("myfolder");

NodeRef where = registry.getFileFolderService().resolveNamePath(companyHome, nodes).getNodeRef();
registry.getFileFolderService().create(where, "myfile", ContentModel.TYPE_CONTENT);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

but now I'm trying to write an byte stream into that file. In fact, what I'm trying to do, is store serilized java object inside Alfresco repository.
