LAPI and Java to extract field information from news items or discussions

Stonebridge_Consultants_(stonebridgeuser2_-_(delet

I am trying to find out how to extract field information from a news object. i.e. Headline, story, expiration date. The LAPI documentation is not much help. Can someone please point me in the right direction.If you want to send response directly to me my email is:steve.schumm@sbti.com

Message from Sean M Alderman via eLinkSteve, I haven't handled this with news objects, but the way I'd go about itis first to take a look at the database view called 'webnodes'I access objects in general using the following methodology -Somewhere in your class, make a LAPI_DOCUMENTS Object for your session.Then do some code like this -LLValue value = new LLValue();if ( lapi_documents.ListObjects( volumeID, NodeID, // this should be of thechannel object "", // viewname queryString, // if you need to furtherprune objects from the list. lapi_documents.PERM_SEE, value ) == 0 ){ LLValueEnumeration rows = value.enumerateValues(); while ( rows.hasMoreElements() ) { LLValue row = rows.nextValue(); /* from here you should have a news item in row. what you want to do from there I don't know, but all of the junk in a news item that's not in a standard ll item is in the extended data field of the dtree record. this is almost always stored in an Assoc type (which I think LLValue can handle), but I'm not sure how to grab a record field that's in the shape of an assoc out of an LLValue and stick it into a new LLValue. I'm actually not sure if the ListObjects will return the ExtendedData field, unless you create a custom database view which has it, and then specify that view. */ }}Perhaps a better question would be to ask how can you manipulateExtendedData contents using LAPI Java.On Fri, 2002-01-04 at 14:22, eLink Discussion: LAPI Discussion wrote:> LAPI and Java to extract field information from news items or discussions> Posted by StonebridgeUser2 on 01/04/2002 02:21 PM> > I am trying to find out how to extract field information from a news object. i.e. Headline, story, expiration date.
