Hi,

Im trying to get all the constraints from my Alfresco data-model in Java. Right now I'm able to get the maxLength of a String property. In the Alfresco data-model is it also possible to put the minLength of a d:text. In the openCMIS PropertyStringDefinition interface there is only a function to get the maxLength. My question is: how can I get the minLength in Java?

Same for regular expressions. Is it possible to get them?

PropertyStringDefinition propDefString = (PropertyStringDefinition) propDef;
if (propDefString.getMaxLength() != null) {
    // Do something
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍

<property name="ex:example">
    <title>Example</title>
    <description></description>
    <type>d:text</type>
    <mandatory>true</mandatory>
    <constraints>
        <constraint type="LENGTH">
            <parameter name="minLength">
          <value>5</value>
      </parameter>
      <parameter name="maxLength">
          <value>5</value>
      </parameter>
        </constraint>
    </constraints>
</property>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks in advance

I don't think constraints are part of the spec because they are repository specific. You'll have to write an extension or use a web script to retrieve that.
