SOAP Request for Creating a Document 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://infinity.com/bpm/ws/v2009a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:createDocument>
         <api:folderId>{jcrUuid}961b5919-a6ec-4a9b-ae54-cc783de7608a</api:folderId>
         <api:createMissingFolders>false</api:createMissingFolders>
         <api:documentInfo>
            <api:name>Rohit_Tax_Doc_Year2011</api:name>
            <api:description>Rohit's Income Tax Document for Year 2011</api:description>
            <api:owner>motu</api:owner>
            <api:dateCreated>2011-11-25T15:20:43.403+05:30</api:dateCreated>
            <api:dateLastModified>2011-11-25T15:20:43.403+05:30</api:dateLastModified>
            <api:metaDataType xmlns:doc="http://www.infinity.com/bpm/model/Model/DocumentMetaType">doc:DocumentMetaType</api:metaDataType>
            <api:metaData>
               <doc:DocumentMetaType xmlns:doc="http://www.infinity.com/bpm/model/Model/DocumentMetaType" xmlns="http://www.infinity.com/bpm/model/Model/DocumentMetaType">

                  <docType>TAX_DOCS</docType>
                  <uploadedBy>motu</uploadedBy>
               </doc:DocumentMetaType>
            </api:metaData>
            <api:contentType>text/plain</api:contentType>
         </api:documentInfo>
         <api:content>cid:724997761511</api:content>
         <api:versionInfo>
            <api:label>1.0</api:label>
         </api:versionInfo>
      </api:createDocument>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

 

FindDocuments()

Now we assume that we have below folder/document structure in our repository and then we will see different ways to use findDocuments method

Stardust Embedded Usage WS API DMS DocumentStorage.png


The below SOAP Request will fetch document with name pattern Rohit_Tax i.e. Rohit_Tax_Doc_Year2011 in this case. 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://infinity.com/bpm/ws/v2009a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:findDocuments>
         <api:documentQuery>
            <api:namePattern>Rohit_Tax%</api:namePattern>
         </api:documentQuery>
      </api:findDocuments>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The below SOAP Request (using xPathQuery) will fetch all the documents inside MyTestFolder i.e Rohit_Tax_Doc_Year2011, Vijay_Tax_Doc_Year2011 and Vijay_Salary_Slip_May2011 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://infinity.com/bpm/ws/v2009a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:findDocuments>
         <api:documentQuery>
            <api:xpathQuery>//MyTestFolder//*</api:xpathQuery>
         </api:documentQuery>
      </api:findDocuments>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


^^Please note that namePattern and xpathQuery cannot be combined as they are exclusive, so if you specify both, only the namePattern is taken.


The below SOAP Request will fetch all the documents inside MyTestFolder whose docType is TAX_DOCS. This docType was specified at the time of creation of the document. The response will contain Rohit_Tax_Doc_Year2011 and Vijay_Tax_Doc_Year2011 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://infinity.com/bpm/ws/v2009a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:findDocuments>
         <api:documentQuery>
            <api:xpathQuery>/jcr:root/ipp-repository/partitions/default//MyTestFolder//*[jcr:primaryType='nt:file' and vfs:metaData/vfs:attributes/vfs:docType='TAX_DOCS']</api:xpathQuery>
            <api:metaDataType xmlns:doc="http://www.infinity.com/bpm/model/Model/DocumentMetaType">doc:DocumentMetaType</api:metaDataType>
         </api:documentQuery>
      </api:findDocuments>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


Further we can use date creation filter in the xpathQuery. The below query will search for the document whose creation date is between 2011-11-20T15:20:17.565+05:30 and 2011-11-25T15:25:17.565+05:30 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://infinity.com/bpm/ws/v2009a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:findDocuments>
         <api:documentQuery>
            <api:xpathQuery>//MyTestFolder//*[vfs:metaData/vfs:attributes/vfs:docType='TAX_DOCS' and jcr:created > xs:dateTime('2011-11-20T15:20:17.565+05:30') and jcr:created lt xs:dateTime('2011-11-25T15:25:17.565+05:30') ]</api:xpathQuery>
         </api:documentQuery>
      </api:findDocuments>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


Below query will search for a document on the basis of name (apart from docType) 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://infinity.com/bpm/ws/v2009a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:findDocuments>
         <api:documentQuery>
            <api:xpathQuery>//MyTestFolder//*[vfs:metaData/vfs:attributes/vfs:docType='TAX_DOCS' and fn:name() ='Rohit_Tax_Doc_Year2011' ]</api:xpathQuery>
         </api:documentQuery>
      </api:findDocuments>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>



The below query will search for documents on the basis of description 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://infinity.com/bpm/ws/v2009a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:findDocuments>
         <api:documentQuery>
            <api:xpathQuery>//MyTestFolder//*[jcr:like(vfs:metaData/vfs:description,'%Tax%') ]</api:xpathQuery>
         </api:documentQuery>
      </api:findDocuments>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

getDocumentContent()

The below query will fetch the document's content 

Request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://eclipse.org/stardust/ws/v2012a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:getDocumentContent>
         <api:documentId>{jcrUuid}8d49604a-1969-485c-8a67-d9423dd7ff34</api:documentId>
      </api:getDocumentContent>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
 
Response:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
      <getDocumentContentResponse xmlns="http://eclipse.org/stardust/ws/v2012a/api" xmlns:ns2="http://eclipse.org/stardust/ws/v2012a/api/query">
         <content>
            <xop:Include href="cid:620a8f2e-c7d7-402a-afdc-f0a1a990825e-4@eclipse.org" xmlns:xop="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include"/>
         </content>
      </getDocumentContentResponse>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

In SOAPUI, you will get it as response attachment. Using WS API getDocumentContent, the return type is Base64Binary, fetch text out of the Base64Binary to get the text form of the document content.

The supplied documentId is the document ID one gets as a response of findDocuments request/WS call.

E.g. 

Request:
 
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:api="http://eclipse.org/stardust/ws/v2012a/api">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <api:findDocuments>
         <api:documentQuery>
            <api:namePattern>my%</api:namePattern>
         </api:documentQuery>
      </api:findDocuments>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
 
Response:
 
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
      <findDocumentsResponse xmlns="http://eclipse.org/stardust/ws/v2012a/api" xmlns:ns2="http://eclipse.org/stardust/ws/v2012a/api/query">
