Condition needed to determine if a controlled document is the "latest" #47

Open gsteimer opened 10 years ago

gsteimer commented 10 years ago

Some actions, like the new Obsolete Document action added for the controlled document solution, could benefit from a condition that determines if the node in question is the "latest" node for the given controlled document.

Talk to George / Ben / Dan before working on this one. Basically, a new node is created for each major version of a controlled document. This is due to limitations of Alfresco and how Security works. Consider:

1.0, Superseded - Node A 2.0, Effective - Node B, has a "supersedes" relationship with 1.0 as the child 3.0, Approved - Node C, has a "supersedes" relationship with 2.0 as the child

In the above case, the condition should only return true for node C.

Also consider:

1.0, Effective - Node A 1.1, Draft - Node B 1.2, Draft - Node B

In the above case, the should return true for Node B on version 1.2, but false for node B version 1.1 and Node A.

This should conceivably be simple by leveraging the IExtendedContent#getLatestVersion

@dgrumieaux - but does that take into account the multi-node nature of tsg:controlled documents? I'm guessing no, so we'll need a separate getLatestControlledDocVersion or something like that...

You are correct - I forgot the Alfresco implementations do not respect that logic. Those methods will need to be implemented. Since we already have tsg:controlled logic in AlfrescoEmbContentImpl, I'd argue that the AlfrescoEmbContentImpl#findCurrentVersionId should be updated to respect the multi-node controlled doc paradigm, and to treat non-controlled doc versions the same way it does now.
