Problem Creating a shortcut

Phillip_Townley

I am having trouble creating a shortcut to a folder using LAPI and VB.NetI use the function CreateObjectEx(volumeId, parentFolderId, 0, 1, "Shortcut to folder2", createInfo, objectInfo)but I keep getting the error "Error Creating node" "Lacking source node to create a Shortcut"It seems to make no difference what I set in createInfo object. Any help appreciated.Phillip Townley

This is in Java:

    /**
     * addWarningAliasToSrcContainer - create new alias with a warning name to use the copy and not this source container
     * @param srcItemInfo, LLValue containing retrieved srcItemInfo (src will be a container)
     * @param copyItemInfo, LLValue containing retrieved copyItemInfo (dst will be a folder)
     * @param ownerCodeString, String containg the owner code
     * @return warningItemInfo, LLValue containing retrieved warningItemInfo (will be an alias)
     */
private LLValue addWarningAliasToSrcContainer(LLValue srcItemInfo, LLValue copyItemInfo) {
        int status = 0,
                srcItemVolID = 0,
                srcItemObjID = 0,
                copyItemVolID = 0,
                copyItemObjID = 0;
        String warningItemName = "";
        LLValue warningContext = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet();
        LLValue warningItemInfo = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet();
        //create_ new alias with a warning name to use the copy and not this source container
        warningItemName = WarningItemNamePrefixString + ownerCodeString + WarningItemNameAppendString;
        //" Users - WARNING - Do NOT Update these Items - Click this link to go to the working copy *****";
        srcItemVolID = srcItemInfo.toInteger("VolumeID");
        srcItemObjID = srcItemInfo.toInteger("ID");
        copyItemVolID = copyItemInfo.toInteger("VolumeID");
        copyItemObjID = copyItemInfo.toInteger("ID");
        status = documents.CreateReferenceEx(
                copyItemVolID,
                copyItemObjID,
                srcItemVolID,
                srcItemObjID,
                warningItemName,
                LAPI_DOCUMENTS.CREATEALIAS,
                warningContext,
                warningItemInfo);
        return warningItemInfo;
