How can I upload a document to my cloud service? (using webdav)
Hello, in a user task form, I need to upload a document. My NextCloud box is already working but don´t know how to configure it. In UI Designer, added upload widget but the configuration at the proposed connector "CMIS" seems not be compatible with webdav protocol or I am doing something wrong.
Thanks!

Sharing the answer I found:
I am using the Sardine Java WebDAV client to handle interactions between Bonita and Nextcloud. It's surprisingly easy, and the upload is achieved with just a couple of lines of code.
It's in Maven here. You need to add it as a Maven extension to use.
import com.github.sardine.* // WebDAV library
import com.github.sardine.impl.SardineException
(...)
Sardine dav = SardineFactory.begin(nextcloudUsername, nextcloudPassword)
dav.enablePreemptiveAuthentication("your.nextcloud.server.name") // it seems uploads are more reliable this way
if (!dav.exists(folderPath)) {
dav.createDirectory(folderPath)
}
dav.put(folderFullURL + "/" + docFilename, apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getDocumentContent(doc.id.toString())) // upload a document
You do need to make sure your URL paths are properly formatted - I'm using this wee hack (not sure if it's best):
String encodeURL(String url) {
String u = URLEncoder.encode(url,"UTF-8").replace("+", "%20")
return u
}

Hi @awnz,
I have added sardine extension from maven repository into Bonita via this way:
Overview -> Add a custom extension -> Other... -> From a Repository:
com.github.lookfirst
sardine
5.10
and, I defined the groovy script for Connectors Out for human task upload documents:
import org.slf4j.Logger
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
import com.github.sardine.*Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger("mycompany")
LOGGER.info("the claims in sardine: ${claims.get(0)}")
LOGGER.info("the claimsDocumentInput in sardine: ${claimsDocumentInput.get(0)}")Sardine dav = SardineFactory.begin('myusername', 'mypassword')
dav.enablePreemptiveAuthentication("mynextcloudserver") // it seems uploads are more reliable this way
if (!dav.exists('Documents/1')) {
dav.createDirectory('Documents/1')
}def doc = claims.get(0)
LOGGER.info("the doc in sardine: ${doc}")dav.put('Documents/1' + "/" + 'test2027.txt', apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getDocumentContent(doc.id.toString())) // upload a document
But, I got this error after submitted task:
Script1.groovy: 17: unable to resolve class Sardine
@ line 17, column 9.
Sardine dav = SardineFactory.begin('myusername', 'mypassword')
^1 error

Could you please share the way that you use sardine in your Bonita's project?
I'm using Bonita community 2022.1 and Sardine 5.10.
Thank you a lot,
Tam
Thanks a lot for your response, @awnz. I will try your way.
BTW, I fixed this issue by declare sardine jar file in this path: C:\BonitaStudioCommunity-2022.1-u0\workspace\tomcat\server\webapps\bonita\WEB-INF\lib
Tam.
Yes, I think the libs that we declared in Bonita studio, they're used while compiling.
But, while runtime, they're not using.
So, that why we need to declared them again in server lib folders.
Thank you,
Tam
Please follow the documentation guidelines to include an external dependency in a process.

<p>Thanks for your answer Romain, I can interact with DMS using operating system command line (via curl application), PUT, GET, etc. my difficulty is I am not sure how to configurate Bonita REST connector, java message as error does help how to continue. Is there any guide step by step?</p>

Hello, assuming still there is no webdav support in Bonita. Which open source DMS is compatible for uploading documents?
thanks,
