Invalid SecurityUsage state exception while trying to create a folder via API

meenal23

I'm trying to create a folder using the API.

However the following lines give an exception:
newFolder = folder.createFolder();
newFolder.setIsSecurityPolicyInherited(new Boolean(true));
newFolder.setName(folderName);
newFolder.update();

The message displayed is :"Invalid SecurityUsage state"

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!

Try applying a specific security policy:

           Collection secPolicies = workspace.getAllSecurityPolicies();
            Iterator siter = secPolicies.iterator();
            SecurityPolicy lpolicy = null;
            while (siter.hasNext()) {
                lpolicy = (SecurityPolicy) siter.next();
                if (lpolicy.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("SOME POLICY NAME")) // Private, Public, Custom...{
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (null != lpolicy)
                  folder.setSecurityPolicy(lpolicy);
            else
                 throw ("no security policies defined");
