As a workaround I ended up writing a Webscript which do the same as the Alfresco one but with NodeRef handling.
I'ts a bit dirty as I had to parse the string to see if it starts with "workspace://.."
Anyway I'm always interested if someone has the solution or a better workaround.
Here's the code :
public class UpdateTaskProperties extends AbstractWebScript {
private static final String TASK_ID_PARAM = "taskId";
private static Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(UpdateTaskProperties.class);
private final ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
private final NodeRefObjectMapper nodeRefObjectMapper = new NodeRefObjectMapper();
public UpdateTaskProperties() {
}
@Override
public void execute(WebScriptRequest request, WebScriptResponse response) throws IOException {
String taskId = getTaskIdIn(request);
Map<String, Object> properties = objectMapper.readValue(request.getContent().getReader(), Map.class);
Map<String, Object> finalProperties = collectCastedPropertiesFrom(properties);
LOGGER.debug("Updating " + finalProperties.size() + " properties of task " + taskId + "...");
taskService.setVariablesLocal(taskId, finalProperties);
LOGGER.info("Updated " + finalProperties.size() + " properties of task " + taskId);
}
private String getTaskIdIn(WebScriptRequest request) {
String taskId = request.getParameter(TASK_ID_PARAM);
isTrue(isNotBlank(taskId), "Invalid task id");
return taskId;
}
private Map<String, Object> collectCastedPropertiesFrom(Map<String, Object> properties) {
Map<String, Object> finalProperties = newHashMap();
for (String propertyName : properties.keySet()) {
Object value = properties.get(propertyName);
if (nodeRefObjectMapper.isNodeRef(value)) {
finalProperties.put(propertyName, nodeRefObjectMapper.readValue(value));
} else if (nodeRefObjectMapper.isNodeRefCollection(value)) {
finalProperties.put(propertyName, nodeRefObjectMapper.readValues(value));
} else {
finalProperties.put(propertyName, value);
}
}
return finalProperties;
}
}
public class NodeRefObjectMapper {
private static final String WORKSPACE_PREFIX = "workspace://SpacesStore/";
private static final String NOTHING = "";
public NodeRef readValue(Object value) {
isTrue(isNodeRef(value), "Not a NodeRef object");
return toNodeRef((String) value);
}
public Collection<NodeRef> readValues(Object value) {
isTrue(isNodeRefCollection(value), "Not a NodeRef collection object");
return from((Collection<String>) value)
.transform(s -> toNodeRef(s)).toList();
}
public boolean isNodeRef(Object value) {
return value instanceof String && normalize((String) value).startsWith(WORKSPACE_PREFIX);
}
public boolean isNodeRefCollection(Object value) {
return value instanceof Collection
&& !((Collection) value).isEmpty()
&& isNodeRef(((Collection) value).iterator().next());
}
private NodeRef toNodeRef(String value) {
return new NodeRef(STORE_REF_WORKSPACE_SPACESSTORE, toNodeRefId(value));
}
private String toNodeRefId(String nodeRef) {
return normalize(nodeRef).replace(WORKSPACE_PREFIX, NOTHING);
}
private String normalize(String value) {
return value.replace("\\", "");
}
}
