Hi,

I am looking for a sample json request to upload the documents into alfresco.


Could someone help me creating a JSON request to upload documents using SOAP UI or any REST Client.

I could upload the documents using html form.

Request:
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
    <title>File Upload</title>
   </head>
<body>
    <form method="POST" name="uploadForm" enctype='multipart/form-data' id="upload_form" action="https://alfresco-stage:8443/alfresco/service/api/upload">
         <input type="hidden" name="destination" id="destination" value="workspace://SpacesStore/cea187e1-b73d-43c7-a2d6-1ec7b1c37715"/> 
        <label>
            Name:
        </label>
        <br/>
        <input type="text" name="filename" id="filename"/><p/>
        <label>
            Description:
        </label>
        <br/>
        <textarea name="description" id="description"></textarea>
        <p/>
        <label>
            File:
        </label>
        <br/>
        <input class="button" type="file" name="filedata" id="filedata"/><p/>
      <input class="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload"/>
    </form>
</body>
</html>


Response:
{
   "nodeRef": "workspace://SpacesStore/f24e5dc3-f8c6-427b-8cee-bec0236543a2",
   "fileName": "SrinivasDocument",
   "status":
   {
      "code": 200,
      "name": "OK",
      "description": "File uploaded successfully"
   }
}
