I am trying to get a discussion with all it’s replies from the sharepoint

  • 0

I am trying to get a discussion with all it’s replies from the sharepoint web services but only seem to be able to get the root message and not any of the replies. Below is the soap XML. What am I missing?

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <soap:GetListItems>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <soap:listName>Team Discussion</soap:listName>

         <soap:viewFields>
                <ViewFields>
            <FieldRef Name='Title'/>
            <FieldRef Name='ItemChildCount'/>
            <FieldRef Name='Body'/>
        </ViewFields>
         </soap:viewFields>
         <soap:queryOptions>
        <QueryOptions>
           <Folder>
        "http://Lists/Team Discussion/Bite Me"
       </Folder>
        </QueryOptions>
         </soap:queryOptions>

      </soap:GetListItems>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The reply is:

    I eventually found the magic query. It seems sub folders are only returned when you add a query based on date, i.e. this soap request works.

    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <soap:GetListItems>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <soap:listName>969E0130-5727-4E7D-A908-B3A5BC447E24</soap:listName>

         <soap:viewFields>
                <ViewFields>
            <FieldRef Name='Title'/>
            <FieldRef Name='Created'/>
            <FieldRef Name='Author'/>
            <FieldRef Name='Body'/>
        </ViewFields>
         </soap:viewFields>

         <soap:query>
           <Query>
        <Where>
            <Geq>
                <FieldRef Name='Created' />
                <Value Type='DateTime'>2010-08-20T14:00:00</Value>
            </Geq>
        </Where>
        <OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ThreadIndex' Ascending='true' /></OrderBy>
      </Query>
         </soap:query>

    <soap:queryOptions>
           <QueryOptions>
        <ViewAttributes Scope="RecursiveAll" IncludeRootFolder="False" />
       </QueryOptions>
         </soap:queryOptions>
      </soap:GetListItems>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

    The essential parts are the query element with the date and the query option to specify the query is recursive.

    imho shouldn’t need the query as it should return everything by default.

    The folder option listed in the other article didn’t make any difference for me.
