File created insted of Folder in Alfresco - alfresco

Question

I am trying to create a folder in Alfresco using XMSI below is the code i am using .
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
String host = "127.0.0.1";
int port = 9080;
String username = "admin";
String password = "admin";
String parentFolder = "Company%20Home";
String folderName = "sales3";
String description = "sales space3";
RulesRequest request = new RulesRequest();
//request.setRemediationProfileObj(remediationProfile);
Gson gs = new Gson();
String json = gs.toJson(request);
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
RestClient rstClnt = new RestClient();
String ticket = rstClnt.restClientPost(json, "http://127.0.0.10:9080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin", client);
//String url = "http://" + host + ":" + port + "/alfresco/service/api/path/workspace/SpacesStore/" + parentFolder + "/children";
String url = "http://localhost:9080/alfresco/service/cmis/s/workspace:SpacesStore/i/078b05c6-14bd-439c-a1ae-db032c5d98fc/children?alf_ticket="+ticket;
String contentType = "application/atom+xml;type=entry";
String xml =
"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>\n" +
"<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:cmis='http://www.cmis.org/2008/05'>\n" +
"<title>" + folderName + "</title>\n" +
"<summary>" + description + "</summary>\n" +
"<cmis:object>\n"+
"<cmis:properties>\n" +
"<cmis:propertyString cmis:name='cmis:objectTypeId'>\n" +
"<cmis:value>cmis:folder</cmis:value>\n" +
"</cmis:propertyString>\n" +
"</cmis:properties>\n" +
"</cmis:object>\n" +
"</entry>\n";
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
new AuthScope(host, port),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password));
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
httppost.setHeader("Content-type", contentType);
StringEntity requestEntity = new StringEntity(xml, "UTF-8");
httppost.setEntity(requestEntity);
System.out.println("executing request" + httppost.getRequestLine());
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
System.out.println("----------------------------------------");
System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());
if (entity != null) {
System.out.println("Response content type: " + entity.getContentType());
long contentLength = entity.getContentLength();
System.out.println("Response content length: "
+ entity.getContentLength());
if (contentLength > 0) {
byte [] b = new byte[(int) contentLength];
entity.getContent().read(b);
System.out.println("Response content: " + new String(b));
}
entity.writeTo(System.out);
}
// When HttpClient instance is no longer needed,
// shut down the connection manager to ensure
// immediate deallocation of all system resources
httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Time spend: " + (end-start) + "ms");
}
Instead of creating a folder it is creating a file of size 0.
Thanks

Answer 1

Your property is of the wrong type. You are incorrectly using cmis:propertyString instead of cmis:propertyId Try the following
<cmis:propertyId propertyDefinitionId="cmis:objectTypeId">
<cmis:value>cmis:folder</cmis:value>
</cmis:propertyId>
As #Gagravarr says, problems like this are easily avoided if you can use well-known client libraries. If you are constructing the HTTP requests yourself you'd better have a good reason for that.
