CMIS search problem in public REST API

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi everyone,

I'm am trying to integrate with Alfresco using it's public REST API and I found some limitations there so far.
Currently I'm using Alfresco 5.2 Community edition.

First I was not able to get list of all available fields on a node, as it is not possible to get dictionary info using Alfresco's public REST API. With above mentioned, I assume I cannot also get list of all available permissions that one can set on a node, please correct if I'm wrong?

Now if I'm using search API, and cmis QL, I'm not able to get just specific properties from the cmis:document. If I use following POST call:
http://localhostort/alfresco/api/-default-/public/search/versions/1/search
with following body parameter:
{
   "query": {
      "language": "cmis",
      "query": "select * from cmis:document where cmis:name like 'tes%'",
   }

}
result I've got is as expected.

But if I use query to select specific cmis properties e.g. 
"query": "select cmisbjectId from cmis:document where cmis:name like 'djur%'",
it returns me exactly the same subset of data as I'm using '*'.

Is this a bug in Alfresco public REST API, or is there another way to achieve what I described above?

Thanks in advance,
Djordje

Hi,

You can use the fields JSON body parameter to restrict the fields returned within a response Like:

{
"query": {
"language": "cmis",
"query": "select * from cmis:document where cmis:name like 'tes%'"
},
"fields": ["id"]
}

Please refer this Alfresco Content Services REST API Explorer 

Thanks,

Prachi
