Question

Does one can recommend me how to get list of aspects in alfresco using java web-service API.

Thank you.

Answer 1

It is not possible to get the list of aspects using web service client, you can however get the list of class definitions of aspects if you know their names.

Check DictionaryServiceSoapPort interface, there is a method named getClasses that can return an array of ClassDefinitions for the given types and aspects.

I don t know if it helps but instead of retrieving the list of aspects using web service, you can as well get the list of all types by calling Get Class Definitions web script. The url pattern is as follows.

http://localhost:8086/alfresco/service/api/classes/{className}

You can call the same web script without className, this time it will output all the classes in the dictionary as JSON, both the types and aspects (aspects are marked with "isAspect"=true).

Answer 2

This may be late for you, but you can use the DictionaryService (in case somebody else searches for this:

Alfresco Wiki says:

getClasses Get a list of type and aspect definitions from the dictionary.

ClassDefinition[] getClasses(ClassPredicate types, ClassPredicate aspects)

Parameters:

types - the predicate for controlling the types returned, or null to return all types aspects - the predicate for controlling the aspects returned, or null to return all aspects Return:

a list of class definitions that relate to the requested types.
