How to inject SiteService in my custom class?

mbel

Hello,

I would like to use some of the methods in Alfresco's SiteService and respectively its implementation.

For example - I want to list all currently created Sites in Alfresco system in a Java code.

What exactly should I inject in my code and what bean should I include.....Its not exactly clear for me.

Thank you in advance.

You also need to add the setter, ie.

public void setSiteService(SiteService siteService)

{

this.siteService = siteService;

}

If you want to develop alfresc extensions you can refer to building and packaging extensions into AMPs using Apache Maven ,add <property name="siteService" ref="SiteService"/> into your spring module context.

If you want to develop client application ,you can use apache commons httpclient to call alfresco site webscript api.

Alternatively, you can also inject the ServiceRegistry into your custom bean XML extension file:

<property name="serviceRegistry" ref="ServiceRegistry"/>

and then get the SiteService locally (or other public services, as needed):

private ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry;

public void setServiceRegistry(ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry) {   this.serviceRegistry = serviceRegistry;
}public void myMethod(){     SiteService siteService = serviceRegistry.getSiteService();     // ... more here}

I have already generated AMP using maven and have folder 'context' with 2 xml service-context and webscript-context.

I want the SiteService as property in my java CustomWebScript class, so I have define the CustomWebScript class in webscript-context.xml

If I include in this bean <property name="siteService" ref="SiteService"/>

</bean>

also included private SiteService siteService; as field in my custom Java class.

I receive the following error...

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'webscript.custom.get' defined in class path resource [alfresco/module/xxx/context/webscript-context.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException:

Invalid property 'siteService' of bean class [xxx.demoamp.CustomWebScript]: Bean property 'siteService' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

So maybe I don't understand how exactly it works or I miss something...

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Yes,you need to add setter method in your xxx.demoamp.CustomWebScript class as @Jan Vonka said

mbel

After added the setting everything is working fine. Thanks!

Would it work with @Inject or @Autowired annotations above the field or ?

In general I can use the existing webscript -> /alfresco/service/api/sites using HttpConnection and get the json object.

However, I will need the server context(host,port) or something in order not to hard-coded it , could you please advise with that option as well ?

Jan Vonka is this a safe method as ServiceRegistry is providing lower case service beans?

janv

Angel Borroy Are you sure ? In general, ServiceRegistry returns upper-case public service beans.

angelborroy

Jan Vonka You are right: community-edition/ServiceRegistry.java at master · Alfresco/community-edition · GitHub

My mistake, thanks for the clarification!

kaynezhang

ServiceRegistry do return upper-case public service beans,but but getting some service bean via the ServiceRegistry is not recommended any more.
