    return service.get(ids);
}

Retrieving associated files

}

Document creation

The examples below show how to create documents using the following operation.


POST {{core}}/rest/documents/ HTTP/1.1

    tags.getTags().add(new Tag(Arrays.asList("Supplier 12"), "B_ClientName", false));
    tags.getTags().add(new Tag(Arrays.asList("RIB"), "B_TypeDocument", false));
    document.setTags(tags);  
    documents.add(document);
    return service.create(documents);
}

Document modification

The examples below show how to update documents.

Data modification

This operation updates a document’s tags and data (class identifier, document name, ACL, etc.) but also its content.


This service operates on a cancel and replace basis, so all the contents and tag values must be supplied by the service at the time of update. It is therefore advisable to retrieve the document, make the changes and call the update service. 


POST {{core}}/rest/documents/{id} HTTP/1.1

-- URL parameters --
core: FlowerDocs Core host
id: document identifier

-- Headers --
token: {{token}}
Content-Type: application/json

-- Body (json) --
[
    {
        "files": [
            {
                "id": "98c1f765-7595-46c3-8f4a-b75bd7c25ff7",
                "size": 0
            }
        ],
        "data": {
            "classId": "Document"
        },
        "category": "DOCUMENT”,
        "name": "D2"
    }
]


@Autowired
private DocumentService service;

public List<Document> update(Document document) throws FunctionalException, TechnicalException
{
    List<Document> documents = new ArrayList();
    tags.getTags().add(new Tag(Arrays.asList("Contract"), "B_TypeDocument", false));
    document.setTags(tags);  
    documents.add(document);
    return service.update(documents);
}
