Code to apply Template using Alfresco Web Service Client

Below is a small code for applying a template to a content using web service API

Note – For applying a template, you need to set the template node ref as a template property

I have taken reference of alfresco out of the box document template.

Store storeRef = new Store(Constants.WORKSPACE_STORE, "SpacesStore");

String rootHome="/app:company_home";

String filename = "test.txt";

String templateID = "workspace://SpacesStore/a4d6ab23-989a-46c6-9c13-3ea2be97d208";

ParentReference contentReference = new ParentReference(storeRef, null, rootHome, Constants.ASSOC_CONTAINS, filename);

     contentReference.setChildName("cm:" + filename);

     NamedValue[] properties = new NamedValue[]

     {

             Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.PROP_NAME, filename),

             Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString(Constants.NAMESPACE_CONTENT_MODEL, "template"), templateID)

     };

     create = new CMLCreate("1", contentReference, null, null,null, Constants.TYPE_CONTENT, properties);

     cml = new CML();

     cml.setCreate(new CMLCreate[] { create }); // Content Created

     result = WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService().update(cml);
