Do you mean to publish a document to multiple places or to share? Sharing in Jive already supports sharing content with places.

  Joey,
  
  Thanks for reply!!!
  
  Document will be published from SFDC to Jive Using Connector ADD-ON(Java/J2EE App) .
  
  So, If there is Document ABC need to published in 4 different spaces in Jive, it should not create different document(With different DOC-ID) for each space.
  One Copy of document should be created and pushed or share across other 3 space.

    Okay - so the share function in Jive allows you to do that out of the box. The share to a place will make the content appear in the content tab of the place as well as in the activity stream for the place. It will also kick off notifications to people following the place. The users have to have access to the original location of the document to be able to see it in the shared places.

        I know that the Share function exists in the REST API (see Jive REST API v3.14 → Share entity) to allow you to automate this, but I'm not familiar with the Java API unfortunately.
        Do you know if the Java API has something similar, Joey?

  Jeff Shurtliff - Check out this link:
  https://developers.jivesoftware.com/api/v3/cloud/rest/ShareService.html
  You can synthesize the clicking of the Share button using this service...pretty straight forward for basic CRUD operations + plus commenting are listed here. Let us know if you have any questions. This API can be used with HTTP Basic (simple username/password) or OAuth2 via Add-ons.
  
  Hope that helps.

    Hi Ryan, and regarding sharing content with non members. If I do it from the browser a copy of the content is emailed to the recipients. How do can I accomplish the same using REST API share service. What should I put in participants field?
    
    {
       "content" : {
       "type" : "text/html",
       "text" : "Hey, you should join in on this discussion!"
       },
       "participants" : [
       "http://jive.somecompany.com/api/core/v3/people/2345"
       ],
       "shared" : "http://jive.somecompany.com/api/core/v3/contents/12345"
    }
    
    KR
