Accessing the DTREE.CATALOG field...

Message from Sean M Alderman via eLinkHow does one go about accessing the Catalog field of the dtree table viaLapi in Java? It does not appear to be in the ObjectInfo AttributesObject. The reason I ask is that I'm building a program to create usersand setup a customview.html and images folder in their personalworkspaces. I want these items to be hidden (catalog = 2).Any ideas?-- Sean M.

Did you have any luck solving this Sean?I need to solve the same problem and have not seen the solution posted in the LAPI discussion. Since my LAPI app is a server side Java application I suppose I can use JDBC to update the database but that is such a hack it makes me gag.However, I did find the following paragraph in the SDK 9.1 Release Notes:"LAPI 9.1.0 includes several fixes and enhancements targeted to support all node types in Livelink as well as custom node types. The function UpdateObjectInfo has been modified to support updating the ExtendedData field. This enhancement relies on the underlying LLNode code to validate and update the note, which will prevent the application from corrupting the object. The function GetObjectInfo has been modified to return all documented columns in the DTree table. The outputAssoc returned from GetObjectInfo can be modified with the Value API and passed as input to UpdateObjectInfo. In addition, the function ListObjects has been modified to return the items in the RecArray in ascending order by Name."I have not installed 9.1 yet (but soon) so I can't see the online help and verify if support is there for setting hidden items.Has any had experience with the new 9.1 functions?Paul

Message from Sean M Alderman via eLinkI have yet to install and play with 9.1 as well. I haven't read therelease notes either, but I would think that the changes you mentionmight break some existing lapi apps (which is really interesting ifthat's the case). I ended up just leaving the items as normal for theproject I was developing, which by the way, the customer never used

. I completed the project to the design specs, but the customer ended upusing a custom coldfusion app instead of Livelink for the project, so itwas a mute issue anyway.On Wed, 2002-10-23 at 15:34, eLink Discussion: LAPI Discussion wrote:> It may be supported in LAPI 9.1.> Posted by NIDAUser2 on 10/23/2002 03:32 PM> > Did you have any luck solving this Sean?> > I need to solve the same problem and have not seen the solution posted in the LAPI discussion.
