I know how to read the properties of a CMIS Document.
But how to tell which property is modifiable, which property is read-only?
Using OpenCMIS/DotCMIS.
For instance, CMIS Workbench seems to know, because in its Property Editor, it only lists the field cmis:name, and not the other fields (like cmis:id).
The PropertyDefinition object gives the updatability of a property. With OpenCMIS, you can retrieve "cmis:name" updatability like this :
TypeDefinition typeDef = session.getTypeDefinition("cmis:document");
Map<String,PropertyDefinition<?>> propertyDefs = typeDef.getPropertyDefinitions();
PropertyDefinition namePropertyDef = propertyDefs.get("cmis:name");
Updatability nameUpdatability = namePropertyDef.getUpdatability();
if (Updatability.READONLY.equals(nameUpdatability)
throw new Exception("This field can not be upated");
You can have a look on OpenCMIS javadoc for details about updatability values

When trying to retrieve DocumentPageTitle and DocumentPageDescription using GetStringValue() on a custom page type TreeNode, the result is always coming back as the default value (in this case an empty string) passed into the method.
I'm able to successfully retrieve other column values as well as standard document properties such as DocumentName, DocumentID and AbsoluteURL, but not the document meta properties.
The respective fields in the Meta tab of document/page do have values and are being successfully rendered in the by default such as <meta name="description" content=".." />
// returns empty string
string documentPageDescription = DocumentContext.CurrentDocument.GetString("DocumentPageDescription", string.Empty);
// returns empty string
TreeNode document = parameters[0] as TreeNode;
string documentPageDescription = document.GetStringValue("DocumentPageDescription", string.Empty);
I've tried setting option Inherits fields from page type to "Page (menu item)", but that did not help.
Does the custom page type need to inherit from something specifically or have a specific setting activated to access these values? Or if what I think is a TreeNode in fact isn't, how could I get the TreeNode from this object that has the properties listed before available?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
ValidationHelper.GetString(CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue("DocumentPageDescription"), string.Empty)
Two things to check, one, are you sure the meta data is available on the page you are pulling? Two, is your API actually pulling all the data for that page?
I've used these in my test and both returned the metadata.
var page = DocumentHelper.GetDocuments().Path("/Articles/Coffee-Beverages-Explained").FirstObject;
Response.Write(page.GetStringValue("DocumentPageDescription", string.Empty));
TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser);
TreeNode tn = tree.SelectNodes().OnCurrentSite().Path("/Articles/Coffee-Beverages-Explained").FirstObject;
Response.Write(tn.GetStringValue("DocumentPageDescription", string.Empty));
The DocumentPageTitle and DocumentPageDescription were coming back as null when the custom page type document/page was inheriting from parent/global values.
I was able to use the following to get the properties when not inheriting, while falling back to the parent value when inheriting was taking place:
string documentPageTitle = document.GetStringValue("DocumentPageTitle", DocumentContext.CurrentTitle);
This approach came from the following issue on Kentico DevNet.
Thank you for your help and suggestions, it's appreciated.
Do you know is there any like a global reference book of MS CRM entities in the system?
I need to resolve entity id to the entity type without checking every single entity for presence of given GUID.
Is it possible?
I don't know of any supported way, but I believe you could to a SQL query on the PrincipalObjectAccess table in the database and retrieve the value of ObjectTypeCode where ObjectId is the GUID.
For annotation you need to look at the field objecttypecode to determine the entity type of objectid.
You can either generate a list of entity logical names and object type codes in your code as a Dictionary object (this will give you the fastest performance but requires you know all the entity types that will be in the system at the time you compile) or (if you are on CRM 2011 UR12+ or CRM 2013) you can do a MetadataQuery.
You can read more about doing a metadata query here: http://bingsoft.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/crm-2011-metadata-query-enhancements/
Sample code for your requirement:
var objTypeCode = [INTEGER] //Make this this the annotation.objecttypecode
MetadataFilterExpression entityFilter = new MetadataFilterExpression(LogicalOperator.And);
EntityFilter.Conditions.Add(new MetadataConditionExpression("ObjectTypeCode", MetadataConditionOperator.Equals, objTypeCode);
EntityQueryExpression entityQueryExpression = new EntityQueryExpression()
{
Criteria = entityFilter
};
RetrieveMetadataChangesRequest retrieveMetadataChangesRequest = new RetrieveMetadataChangesRequest()
{
Query = entityQueryExpression,
ClientVersionStamp = null
};
RetrieveMetadataChangesResponse response = (RetrieveMetadataChangesResponse)orgService.Execute(retrieveMetadataChangesRequest);
You can reduce the metadata retrieved, for better performance, as shown here: How to get the CRM Entity Name from the Object Type Code of a RegardingID?
Background: Project is a Data Import utility for importing data from tsv files into a EF5 DB through DbContext.
Problem: I need to do a lookup for ForeignKeys while doing the import. I have a way to do that but the retrieval if the ID is not functioning.
So I have a TSV file example will be
Code Name MyFKTableId
codevalue namevalue select * from MyFKTable where Code = 'SE'
So when I process the file and Find a '...Id' column I know I need to do a lookup to find the FK The '...' is always the entity type so this is super simple. The problem I have is that I don't have access to the properties of the results of foundEntity
string childEntity = column.Substring(0, column.Length - 2);
DbEntityEntry recordType = myContext.Entry(childEntity.GetEntityOfReflectedType());
DbSqlQuery foundEntity = myContext.Set(recordType.Entity.GetType()).SqlQuery(dr[column])
Any suggestion would be appreciated. I need to keep this generic so we can't use known type casting. The Id Property accessible from IBaseEntity so I can cast that, but all other entity types must be not be fixed
Note: The SQL in the MyFKTableId value is not a requirement. If there is a better option allowing to get away from SqlQuery() I would be open to suggestions.
SOLVED:
Ok What I did was create a Class called IdClass that only has a Guid Property for Id. Modified my sql to only return the Id. Then implemented the SqlQuery(sql) call on the Database rather than the Set([Type]).SqlQuery(sql) like so.
IdClass x = ImportFactory.AuthoringContext.Database.SqlQuery<IdClass>(sql).FirstOrDefault();

How can I access the details element of a collection entity which is inside one section of another entity with openxava? For example, in the view of entity A, we have section {S1,S2,S3} and inside section S3 view, we have {collection of entity B}. Now I want to access the detail element of entity B, so that i can fill the element in an action controller. How do I do that?
Get the collection directly from the view, in this way:
Collection myCollection = getView().getSubview("myCollection").getCollectionObjects();
It must work even with oldest OpenXava versions
Obtain the entity associated to the view and get the collection from it. Since OpenXava 4.3 you can do it in this way:
MyEntity myEntity = (MyEntity) getView().getEntity();
Collection myCollection = myEntity.getMyCollection();
If you're using an OX previous to 4.3 do it in this way:
Map keyValues = getView().getKeyValuesWithValue();
if (!keyValues.isEmpty()) {
MyEntity myEntity = (MyEntity)
MapFacade.findEntity(getView().getModelName(), keyValues);
Collection myCollection = myEntity.getMyCollection();
}
You can do it in several ways. Here you have one, I have used it with some references that I want to modify from inside of an action called by the base module (which should work with your collection):
Query q = XPersistence.getManager().createQuery("JPQL QUERY TO RETRIVE THE COLLECTION WITH :parameterIfNeeded");
q.setParameter("parameterIfNeeded", "value");
List entityBList = q.getResultList();
if (getView().getModelName().equalsIgnoreCase("yourBaseModelViewName")) {
getView().getSubview("yourSubViewName").setModel(entityBList);
getView().getSubview("yourSubViewName").refresh();
}
You must to be using OX 4.6 to be able to use setModel(). And remember that the "yourSubViewName" is the name of the property for your collection into the base model.
I have not tested that code with a collection, so make the adjustments according to your needs, maybe you will need to CAST the query result list or something.
I'm currently working with Sharepoint 2010 and Sharepoint API on creating a document library with some existing document lists.
I have created a WinForm that loops through a given doc lists and then add them to diffrent document libraries depending on 'Type(A metadata field)' of the document. Type is determined by reading the "Metadata fields" for the specific document. Metadata fields are read by creating Hashtable of SPFields
Question
When document metadata field is read to determin the 'Type', I have realised that the Metadatafield 'Type'(Key) actually pulls out as 'Type+TaxHTField0' and value for the Key pulls out as value|GUID
So for example if my Metadata field is called Doc_x0020_Type when it returns from the API it comes out as Doc_x0020_TypeTaxHTField0 the value for this should be just 'products' but it comes out as
products|21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D
Is there a setting we can set in sharepoint to eleminate adding extra charaters and GUID to both Key and Value for metadata fields?
Below is what I've done to rectify the issue, but wondered if it's a setting we can set in sharepoint
public String GetLibrary(Hashtable itemProperties)
{
String typeMetaField = "Doc_x0020_TypeTaxHTField0";
String sKey = String.Empty;
foreach (DictionaryEntry deEntry in itemProperties)
{
sKey = deEntry.Key.ToString();
if (sKey == typeMetaField){
_type = deEntry.Value.ToString();
string[] value = _type.Split('|');
_type = value[0].Trim();
}
}
return GetDocumentLibrary(_type);
}
This is by design.
If you add a taxonomy field to your own contenttype (for instance named 'MyTaxField') SharePoint will autogenerate a hidden 'Notes' field that contains the label and the guid of the values you select in the UI.
This is quite helpful when using SPSiteDataQuery since it will return empty values for taxonomy fields that allow multiple values (works with single value taxonomy fields though).
The only way to get the taxonomy values is to have a for the hidden field named 'MyTaxFieldTaxHTField0'.
But as you have discovered, this field might not be formatted as youd like :).
I have not tested this, but did you check if your contenttype contains a field called "Doc_x0020_Type" (possible of type TaxonomyFieldValue(Collection))?
