ImportXML and checked-in nodes

[Benjamin Brown <be...@thisisnumero.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get importXML working for a system view export and it fails with exceptions (message wording  changes depending on whether workspace/session)  that the node I am trying to add to is checked in (I am using IMPORT_UUID_COLLISION_REPLACE_EXISTING) . Now I know that in order to add nodes I need to ensure they are checked out however I expected the importXML method to do this automagically for me. If I need to do this manually before import does anyone have some example recursive code that will avoid the system nodes and/or just alter the paths in an import?

Many thanks,

Benjamin

In response to my own post and in case anyone else notices the (seeming) lack of feature for importing versioned nodes the following methods should handle the problem (where the path argument is the parent path of the root node being imported). There may still be other issues with it such as references which I've not dealt with.

	private void checkOutNodesPreImport(Session session, String path) throws PathNotFoundException, RepositoryException {
		Node n = (Node)session.getItem(path);
		if (!n.isCheckedOut()) {
			n.checkout();
		} 
		NodeIterator iter = n.getNodes();
		if (iter != null && iter.hasNext()) {
			Node subNode = iter.nextNode();
			checkOutNodesPreImport(session, subNode.getPath());
		}
	}

	private void checkInNodesPostImport(Session session, String path) throws PathNotFoundException, RepositoryException {
		Node n = (Node)session.getItem(path);
		if (n.isModified()) {
			n.save();
		}
		if (n.isCheckedOut()) {
			n.checkin();
		} 
		NodeIterator iter = n.getNodes();
		if (iter != null && iter.hasNext()) {
			Node subNode = iter.nextNode();
			checkInNodesPostImport(session, subNode.getPath());
		}
	}

All the best,

Benjamin
