Update Multi value property using a Map
Hi all,
I am trying to update a org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.client.api.Document using the updateProperties(Map<String, ?>) method.
This works fine, except for multi value properties. They don't get updated and remain null.
It works when I use the method setPropertyMultivalue(String, List), but I don't want to use this method because It doesn't except null values.
I am working with version OpenCMIS version 0.1.0.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Mano Swerts

Hi Florian,
I will try OpenCMIS 0.2 then. I think that will solve my problem. I simplified the code in my mail and replaced a custom getter with "new Date()", but in our code the getter returns a GregorianCalendar. My mistake.
I'll let you know if this solves my problem.
Thanks.
Mano

Hi Mano,
I have tested that with OpenCMIS 0.2 and the multi-value property update works.
What doesn't work, however, is the single-value property update. DateTime properties have to be of type GregorianCalendar and not Date. You should get an exception.
Which Alfresco version and which binding are you using?
Cheers,
Florian

Re: Update Multi value property using a Map
Posted by Mano Swerts <m....@aca-it.be>.
Hi Florian,
Yes the property is updatable and it doesn't require a check-out. Like I stated below, it does work when using the setPropertyMultivalue method. I provide a List<BigInteger> to the method which does not contain null values. Other single value properties however can be null, so we'd like to use the Map approach for all properties to be consistent.
This is my description of the property in my alfresco model XML:
<property name="park:documentCreationDate">
<type>d:datetime</type>
</property>
<property name="park:userAssignmentStaffNumbers">
<type>d:int</type>
<multiple>true</multiple>
</property>
This is a simplified snippet from the code:
List<BigInteger> staffNumbers = new ArrayList<BigInteger>();
staffNumbers.add(new BigInteger("123"));
Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
properties.put("park:documentCreationDate", new Date()); //Single value property works
properties.put("park:userAssignmentStaffNumbers", staffNumbers);
// works: document.setPropertyMultivalue("park:userAssignmentStaffNumbers", staffNumbers);
document.updateProperties(properties);
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Mano Swerts

Re: Update Multi value property using a Map

Hi Mano,
Could you provide a few more details?
Is the property updatable? Is the document checked out? Does the type
require a check-out before update? Do you provide a List<> of homogenous
values without null values? What is the data type of the property?
Property values are checked by OpenCMIS before they are send to the
repository. If they don't comply with the CMIS spec or don't match the
object type, OpenCMIS throws an exception. But in a few cases it drops
the value without warning.
Cheers,
Florian
