Copying files in KM using a Repository Service?

[Former Member]

Hi All

Does anyone have an example or some help regarding creating a repository service to copy files from one folder to another and if those files exist overwrite them?

I am currentely learning Java however am not quite advanced enough to tackle this from scratch.

Thanks in advance, it is most appreciated!

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that

However, I have created my service but I am getting errors all over the portal. e.g.

ITEM NOT FOUND /_alias/userhome/<user.id>/favorites

My code is below: any ideas why?

package newsCopy;

import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.AbstractRepositoryService;

import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.service.ServiceNotAvailableException;

import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.IResourceEventReceiver;

import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.IRepositoryManager;

import com.sapportals.wcm.util.events.IEvent;

import com.sapportals.wcm.crt.component.*;

import com.sapportals.wcm.crt.configuration.*;

import com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException;

import java.util.Collection;

// New Imports

import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.*;

import com.sapportals.wcm.util.uri.RID;

import com.sap.tc.logging.Location;

// implements IMyNewRepositoryService interface

/*

Note: IReconfigurable and IResourceEventReceiver interfaces are optional

*/

public class newsCopy extends AbstractRepositoryService implements IReconfigurable, IResourceEventReceiver {

private static final String TYPE = "newsCopy";

public newsCopy() {

super();

// Do not add code here. Add it to startUpImpl() instead

}

public String getServiceType() {

return newsCopy.TYPE;

}

protected void startUpImpl(Collection repositoryManagers) throws ConfigurationException, StartupException {

// implement this method as follows:

// - Verify configuration data

// - Get references to other needed (global) services

// - Check whether other repository services (this service depends on) are also assigned to the repository managers

// - Usually the service registers itself for certain events at all repository managers

//

/*

try {

}

catch (Exception e) {

throw new StartupException(e.getMessage(), e);

}

*/

}

protected void shutDownImpl() { }

protected void addRepositoryAssignment(IRepositoryManager mgr) throws ServiceNotAvailableException {

// Implement this method: Usually the service registers itself for certain events at the repository manager.

}

protected void removeRepositoryAssignment(IRepositoryManager mgr) throws WcmException {

// Implement this method: Usually the service must unregister itself as an event handler.

}

public void reconfigure(IConfiguration config) throws ConfigurationException {

this.stateHandler.preReconfigure();

// check the new configuration data

/*

try {

}

catch (ConfigurationException ex) {

this.stateHandler.postReconfigure(ex);

throw ex;

}*/

this.config = config;

this.stateHandler.postReconfigure();

}

private static final Location log = Location.getLocation(newsCopy.class);

public void received(IEvent event) {

IResource resource = (IResource)event.getParameter();

IResource sourceResource = resource;

RID destinationRid = null;

try {

destinationRid = RID.getRID("/news/LatestNews/" + resource.getName());

} catch (ResourceException e1) {

log.errorT("********** No. 1 Resource Exception!");

}

ICopyParameter cp = new CopyParameter();

cp.setIgnorePropertyFailures(true);

cp.setOverwrite(true);

if (sourceResource != null && destinationRid != null){

try {

sourceResource.copy(destinationRid,cp);

} catch (NotSupportedException e) {

log.errorT("********** No. 2 Not Supported Exception!");

} catch (ResourceException e) {

log.errorT("********** No. 3 Resource Exception!");

}

}

}

}

Ny help would be great!
