Upload a file in Alfresco using java implementation

Question

Suggest me any basic example for uploading a file to Alfresco using java. I m new to Alfresco.

Answer 1

Here is an example using Python and cmislib:

>>> from cmislib import CmisClient
>>> client = CmisClient('http://cmis.alfresco.com/cmisatom', 'admin', 'admin')
>>> repo = client.defaultRepository
>>> root = repo.rootFolder
>>> someFolder = root.createFolder('someFolder')
>>> someFile = open('test.txt', 'r')
>>> someDoc = someFolder.createDocument('Test Document', contentFile=someFile)

And here is an example using Java and OpenCMIS:

// default factory implementation
SessionFactory factory = SessionFactoryImpl.newInstance();
Map<String, String> parameter = new HashMap<String, String>();

// user credentials
parameter.put(SessionParameter.USER, "Otto");
parameter.put(SessionParameter.PASSWORD, "****");

// connection settings
parameter.put(SessionParameter.ATOMPUB_URL, "http://<host>:<port>/cmis/atom");
parameter.put(SessionParameter.BINDING_TYPE, BindingType.ATOMPUB.value());
parameter.put(SessionParameter.REPOSITORY_ID, "myRepository");

// create session
Session session = factory.createSession(parameter);
Folder root = session.getRootFolder();

// properties
// (minimal set: name and object type id)
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
properties.put(PropertyIds.OBJECT_TYPE_ID, "cmis:folder");
properties.put(PropertyIds.NAME, "a new folder");

// create the folder
Folder parent = root.createFolder(properties);

String name = "myNewDocument.txt";

// properties 
// (minimal set: name and object type id)
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
properties.put(PropertyIds.OBJECT_TYPE_ID, "cmis:document");
properties.put(PropertyIds.NAME, name);

// content
byte[] content = "Hello World!".getBytes();
InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(content);
ContentStream contentStream = new ContentStreamImpl(name, BigInteger.valueOf(content.length), "text/plain", stream);

// create a major version
Document newDoc = parent.createDocument(properties, contentStream, VersioningState.MAJOR);
