Alfresco CMIS Web Scripts API for 'getContent' by path is not working

mathias_lin

I had read
http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/alfresco-api/cmis-getcontent-example-09262012-1805
but did not find an OpenCMIS services URI / sample of how to fetch node content by providing it's path only, not it's UUID.

The problem:

I have a file in my Alfresco (4.1.5) repository of which I want to read the content through the Alfresco services REST API. For the lookup, I want to use the file path, not the UUID. However, the lookup by path does not work, only the lookup by UUID works. I cannot find the mistake.

This is the file path:

DisplayPath & File Name:

/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Cleaner Configs/cleaner.properties‍

QNamePath:

/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:Cleaner_x0020_Configs/cm:cleaner.properties‍

Lookup by UUID works with the following REST API url:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/cmis/i/2391adf9-365c-4959-bf30-8f001154c100/content‍

However, lookup by path only does not work. Neither with the primary path nor the display path:

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/cmis/p/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:Cleaner_x0020_Configs/cm:cleaner.properties/content?a=false‍

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/cmis/p/Company%20Home/Data%20Dictionary/Cleaner%20Configs/cleaner.properties/content?a=false‍

I am getting a 404 error in both cases:

<blockquote>
Message: 10080001 Unable to find ObjectPathReference[storeRef=workspace://SpacesStore,path=/app:company_home/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:Cleaner_x0020_Configs/cm:cleaner.properties]

Exception: org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptException - 10080001 Unable to find ObjectPathReference[storeRef=workspace://SpacesStore,path=/app:company_home/app:company_home/app:dictionary/cm:Cleaner_x0020_Configs/cm:cleaner.properties]
</blockquote>

Hi,

Seems like the root of your path is too high up the hierarchy. That's why you see company_home appear twice in your error message.
Try to remove the company_home part like such:

http://localhost:8081/alfresco/service/cmis/p/Data%20Dictionary/Cleaner%20Configs/cleaner.properties/content?a=false

And use 8080 of course (I tested against my own alfresco repo on 8081

Cmis's root / is mapped to /app:company_home,so /Data%20Dictionary is automaticlly mapped to /app:company_home/Data%20Dictionary.you should not prefix it with /app:company_home,or it'll be interpretered to /app:company_home/app:company_home/Data%20Dictionary which will be not found .
And using cmis you can only access nodes under /app:company_home.

How can I obtain a display path from the Alfresco API? (without qnames)

If I want the path of a node, I do the following:

getNodeService().getPath(nodeRef)
‍‍‍

It returns something like this:

<blockcode>
{http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0}company_home/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/application/1.0}user_homes/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}AGP/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}AGP2/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}New_x0020_Documents/{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}Test.pdf
</blockcode>

But I want a path like:

<blockcode>
/company_home/User Homes/AGP/AGP2/New Documents/Test.pdf
</blockcode>

Without the qnames, types, and with the correct format without _x0020_ codes.

Are there a method from the Alfresco API to get this type of path? Or I must decode it writing an own method in Java?

Thanks!

PD: I answer myself…

getNodeService().getPath(nodeRef).toDisplayPath(getNodeService(), getPermissionService()
