Content Server Connection and its confirmation through Java

vsoman1984

Hi All,

This is my effort to further elucidate my question in the previous posts.I hope this question will get me the required response.

I had followed a Hello World example a week back to try out simple customizations inside of Webtop.

One of my previous posts https://community.emc.com/thread/100538?tstart=0 and its solution enables me to understand the mechanics of actions,components and classes.

Since then i have graduated to a place where i need to provide the evidance of successful connection to Docbase and also an attempt at content transfer.

That was when i gathered information regarding DFC from its guide for 6.5 and its chapters "Creating a Test Application" and "Working with Objects" seem to be the elusive solution i am seeking(Hopefully:P).

IDfSysObject.getContent()

as explained on Page 77 of the Guide is the API for accessing content.

The chapter on "Creating a Test Application" has a swing based application (which i presume is meant to be run standalone from the IDE).

But the piece of code from that example which can help me out is :

private Boolean createSessionManager() {
  try {
  // The only class we instantiate directly is DfClientX.
  DfClientX clientx = new DfClientX();
  // Most objects are created using factory methods in interfaces.
  // Create a client based on the DfClientX object.
  IDfClient client = clientx.getLocalClient();

  // Create a session manager based on the local client.
  m_sessionManager = client.newSessionManager();
  // Set the user information in the login information variable.
  IDfLoginInfo loginInfo = clientx.getLoginInfo();
  loginInfo.setUser(jTextField_userName.getText());
  loginInfo.setPassword(jTextField_password.getText());
  // Set the identity of the session manager object based on the repository
  // name and login information.
  m_sessionManager.setIdentity(
  jTextField_repositoryName.getText(), loginInfo
  );
  return true;
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
  ex.printStackTrace();
  jLabel_messages.setText("Failed to instantiate Session Manager.");
  return false;
  }
  }

Finally to my question(s):

Is there a way where i can get the above method into a java class file, get it called when the user clicks a link from menubar on the Webtop?Can sysouts in the above method be seen on the Tomcat console?

Should i change the <execution class=""> definition inside my action.xml so that the method in the class gets run?

Do feel free to ask for clarifications if my question is not coherent. I am in desperate need of your guidance.Please help.

Thank You

return true;}

catch (Exception ex){

ex.printStackTrace();

System.

out.println("Failed to instantiate Session Manager.");

return false;}

}

}

My prime aim at writing the above java class was to get the session manager because my next target of getting content - getContent(m_sessionManager,repositoryName,objectString) had it as a required parameter.Now the output of the Sysouts on my Tomcat console was as follows:

Mar 24, 2010 1:44:49 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 722285 ms
This is inside createSessionManager
This is inside createSessionManager 11
This is m_sessionManager com.documentum.fc.client.impl.session.SessionManager@944d4a
This is inside createSessionManager 22
This is inside createSessionManager33
This is prior to True

Having obtained this, i was assuming that the session Manager should be proper since the method was executed. But  when i tested the above code with incorrect user credentials and repository name, even then there was no exception thrown and the Sysouts were seen.

If i now call my content transfer method through this method, will it yield a result?

Please do guide me.
