Adding Content to Content Services (deprecated)

To add content to Content Services (deprecated), follow these steps:

1. Include project files.

2. Create the service client.

3. Retrieve the content to add.

4. Set content attributes.

5. Upload the content.

Add content to Content Services (deprecated) by using the Document Management Service API (Java):

1. Include project files.

   Include client JAR files, such as adobe-contentservices-client.jar, in your Java project’s class path.

2. Create the service client.

   • Create a ServiceClientFactory object that contains Java connection properties.

   • Create a DocumentManagementServiceClientImpl object by using its constructor and passing the ServiceClientFactory object.

3. Retrieve the content to add.

   • Create a java.io.FileInputStream object that represents the content to add by using its constructor. Pass a string value that specifies the file location.

   • Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object by using its constructor. Pass the java.io.FileInputStream object. This object represents the content to add.

4. Set content attributes.

   • Create a java.util.Map object that stores content attributes by using a HashMap constructor.

   • For each attribute to set, invoke the java.util.Map object’s put method. Pass the following arguments:

     • A string value that represents the key name. For example, to set the description attribute, pass the value {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description.

     • A string value that specifies the attribute value (for example, a mortgage application form).

5. Upload the content.

   Add the content by invoking the DocumentManagementServiceClientImpl object’s storeContent method and passing the following values:

   • A string value that specifies the store where the content is added. The default store is SpacesStore. This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • A string value that specifies the fully qualified path of the space where the content is added (for example, /Company Home/Test Directory). This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • The node name that represents the new content (for example, MortgageForm.pdf). This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • A string value that specifies the node type. To add new content, such as a PDF file, specify {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content. This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • A com.adobe.idp.Document object that represents the content. This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • A string value that specifies the encoding value (for example, UTF-8). This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • An UpdateVersionType enumeration value that specifies how to handle version information (for example, UpdateVersionType.INCREMENT_MAJOR_VERSION to increment the content version. ) This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • A java.util.List instance that specifies aspects related to the content. This value is an optional parameter and you can specify null.

   • A java.util.Map object that stores content attributes.

   The storeContent method returns a CRCResult object that describes the content. Using a CRCResult object, you can, for example, obtain the content’s unique identifier value. To perform this task, invoke the CRCResult object’s getNodeUuid method.

Add content to Content Services (deprecated) by using the Document Management Service API (web service):

1. Include project files.

   Create a Microsoft .NET client project that uses MTOM and consumes the Document Management WSDL.

2. Create the service client.

   • Create a DocumentManagementServiceClient object by using its default constructor.

   • Create a DocumentManagementServiceClient.Endpoint.Address object by using the System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress constructor. Pass a string value that specifies the WSDL to the LiveCycle service, such as http://localhost:8080/soap/services/DocumentManagementService. You do not need to use the lc_version attribute. This attribute is used when you create a service reference.

   • Create a System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object by using the value of the DocumentManagementServiceClient.Endpoint.Binding field. Cast the return value to BasicHttpBinding.

   • Set the System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object’s MessageEncoding field to WSMessageEncoding.Mtom. This value ensures that MTOM is used.

   • Enable basic HTTP authentication by performing the following tasks:

     • Assign the LiveCycle user name to the field DocumentManagementServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName.

     • Assign the corresponding password value to the field DocumentManagementServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password.

     • Assign the constant value HttpClientCredentialType.Basic to the field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Transport.ClientCredentialType.

     • Assign the constant value BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly to the field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Security.Mode.

3. Retrieve the content to add.

   • Create a BLOB object by using its constructor. The BLOB object is used to store a PDF document that is uploaded to Content Services (deprecated).

   • Create a System.IO.FileStream object by invoking its constructor. Pass a string value that represents the file location of the PDF document and the mode in which to open the file.

   • Create a byte array that stores the content of the System.IO.FileStream object. You can determine the size of the byte array by getting the System.IO.FileStream object’s Length property.

   • Populate the byte array with stream data by invoking the System.IO.FileStream object’s Read method. Pass the byte array, the starting position, and the stream length to read.

   • Populate the BLOB object by assigning the contents of the byte array to the BLOB object’s MTOM field.

4. Set content attributes.

   • Create a MyMapOf_xsd_string_To_xsd_anyType object that stores content attributes by using its constructor.

   • For each attribute to set, create a MyMapOf_xsd_string_To_xsd_anyType_Item object by using its constructor. Set the attribute value by perform the following tasks:

     • Set the MyMapOf_xsd_string_To_xsd_anyType_Item object’s key field. Assign a string value that represents the key name. For example, to set the description attribute, assign the following value {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description.

     • Set the MyMapOf_xsd_string_To_xsd_anyType_Item object’s value field. Assign a string value that specifies the attribute value. For example, a mortgage application form.

   • For each attribute to set, invoke the MyMapOf_xsd_string_To_xsd_anyType object’s Add method and pass a MyMapOf_xsd_string_To_xsd_anyType_Item object.

5. Upload the content.

   Add the content by invoking the DocumentManagementServiceClient object’s storeContentAPI method and passing the following values:

   • A string value that specifies the store where the content is added. The default store is SpacesStore. This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • A string value that specifies the fully qualified path of the space where the content is added (for example, /Company Home/Test Directory). This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • The node name that represents the new content (for example, MortgageForm.pdf). This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • A string value that specifies the node type. To add new content, such as a PDF file, specify {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content.

   • A BLOB object that represents the content. This value is a mandatory parameter.

   • A string value that specifies the encoding value (for example, UTF-8).

   • An UpdateVersionType enumeration value that specifies how to handle version information. The UpdateVersionType.INCREMENT_MAJOR_VERSION value is used to increment the content version.

   • A MyArrayOf_xsd_string instance that specifies aspects related to the content. This value is an optional parameter and you can specify null.

   • A MyMapOf_xsd_string_To_xsd_anyType object that stores content attributes.

   • An empty string value that is used to handle the browse link output value.

   • An empty CRCResult object that describes the content. This parameter handles the output value. For example, you can obtain the content’s unique identifier value by invoking the CRCResult object’s getNodeUuid method.
