General tips:

• Check out models already deployed: /alfresco/s/api/classes/<prefix>_<name>
• If you apply a hot edit to the share-config-custom.xml you need to refresh all your webscripts from /share/page/index.
• How get the repositoryId curl -s -u admin:alfresco "http://<hostname>:<port>/alfresco/s/cmis" | grep repositoryId
• CMIS endpoint /alfresco/service/api/cmis
• Enable debug log for JS-webscript: go to tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-log4j.properties and change

    log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.jscript=debug
    log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger=debug

2. java -jar /bin/alfresco-mmt.jar uninstall <moduleName> tomcat\webapps\alfresco
3. java -jar /bin/alfresco-mmt.jar install amps\mymodule-repo.amp tomcat\webapps\alfresco -force -nobackup -verbose
4. java -jar /bin/alfresco-mmt.jar install amps_share\mymodule-share.amp tomcat\webapps\share -force -nobackup -verbose

Bash command/tips:

• List of JAVA running process: ps -ef | grep java
• List of stopped process: jobs

• List of commands you are allowed to do: sudo su -l
• sudo su - <user>
• sudo -i

Hide components in surf page

Alfresco official doc reference

Summary:

• Enable surfbug: /share/page/surfBugStatus
• Take notes about region-id, source-id and sub-component's id (the ID is the one after the hash)

Copy noderef

Alfresco official doc reference

---

Header to set in order to show or dowload a document in a respose object for Webscripts.

IETF DOC:

    res.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + fileName);
    res.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);

---

Visualize images in base64:

    <img src="data:${mimetype};base64,${fileBase64}"/>

    InputStream inputStream = contentService.getReader(nodeRef , ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT).getContentInputStream();
    byte[] arrBuff = IOUtils.toByteArray(inputStream);
    inputStream.close();
    return Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeString(arrBuff);

---

Check if node ref is valid and has right type:

    QName nodeType = nodeService.getType(nodeRef);
    FileFolderServiceType fileFolderNodeType = fileFolderService.getType(nodeType);

    if (fileFolderService.exists(nodeRef) || !fileFolderNodeType.equals(FileFolderServiceType.FOLDER) ) {
        throw new MyException(
                HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST,
                "Destination folder must be of type "+ContentModel.TYPE_FOLDER);
    }
