Using DFC How to create a dm_note

djpeteski

So the JavaDocs talks about IDfNote, and that class has two methods:

void addNote(IDfId targetId, boolean keepPermanent) throws DfException

void removeNoteEx(IDfId targetId) throws DfException

So lets say I have a document, and I want to add a note to it... something like

public void addNoteToDocument(String documentId, String noteToAdd) throws DfException {

  IDfDocument doc = getAndVerifyDocument(documentId);

  //How do I create a new note, this is not supported by DFC

  IDfNote dmNote = new DfNote();

  //How do I add the text to the note, this is not supported by DFC

  dmNote.setText(noteToAdd);

  dmNote.addNote(new IDfId(documentId), true);

}

So there seems to be two big holes in the IDfNote interface.  First there is no concrete class for the note, secondly, there is no way to add the text.  Doing a describe on the DM_NOTE table, shows that there seems to be no place to add the string of the note.

Very confusing.  Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi Pete,

To make things more clear dm_note is not a text syntax, its represents a file in whinh text is written.

dm_note usually represents annotation objects. The document and its note information is stored in dm_relation object

IDfNote inherits IDfSysobject, so all you can do with Sysobject is applicable to Note object also, along with remove note and add note method.

IDfNote noteObject = (IDfNote)getDfSession().newObject("dm_note");

//Do usual stuff like setting file name, file path, set attributes as you normally do for sysobject

noteObject.setFilePath("");

noteObject.setString("");

:

:

noteObject .save();

noteObject.addNote(<Document Id>, true);
