Node ID to Path?

If i have a node ID/a node, what's the easiest way to get the full path of that node? Obviously I can recurse backwards until i get to the top level node, but that would be slow. Is there a specific function I can call that will get me the path of a node given the node ID or the node itself? I look in DocumentManagement and didn't see anything that looked like it'd be able to do that.

Thanks.

Hi, Jonathan.

The only other option that comes to mind is to search for that node and retrieve the OTLocation region, but that's not ideal.

I've entered a feature request to provide a mechanism to retrieve the full path for a node without recursively calling GetNode.

Thanks,

As Scott has pointed out, there is no simple method to do this at present, but you could create your own WebService or extend the DocMgmt one to provide one if you can get the OScript on the otherside.

Do we still have to recursively use GetNode to find the full path from a Node ID, or is there an easier way to do this now?

My CS10 U10 still doesn't offer any method to get the path. I wonder if the search would be quicker than the GetNode-traversing. As suggested above, you need The Lord of OScript, who'll forge the GetNodePath for you :-) (He'd use the LLNode.NodeFullPath.)

(If you have a module already, WS Method, DocMan WS callback, REST handler, XML Export handler, LAPI call, anything you're familiar with. If you deployed OT AGA, it includes LAPI call SPSGetNodePath to get the node path.)

Yeah its been 3 years since the last post, so I thought maybe there was a method for this and I just overlooked it in documentation, but guess not.
