Using LLValue results

LAPI is one of the less intuitive API's I've ever seen. I can get the details of what a folder contains with a simple API call (Java).

LLValue children = new LLValue();
int result = docs.ListObjects(0, parentId, "DTree", null, LAPI_DOCUMENTS.PERM_READ, children);

Using the debugger I can see the data that I want, residing in :

Children.fInstance.fNames

Children.fInstance.fRows

But the set of available LLValue methods has me stumped and the object I want (LLTable) is not visible.

I've been crawling the internet for an example of how to get at this data and can't find one.

Is there a clear example of how to get at the document names and id values from this seemingly useless LLValue object returned by ListObjects?

Before LAPI discussion got converted to a forum one could find examples more quickly.The LLValue objects needs to be parsed in whatever language you were programming.There is actually a good section on it in the documentation here are one or two java examples.These examples were written a long time back

LAPi is being relegated to a maintaenance version but old investments may still work,its newer cousin EWS maybe better supported.

Thank you Appu. You are The Man.

The old example works like a champ and is exactly the leg-up I needed.

Hello Darin,

In my LAPI trainingclass I give the students the attached files that shows how to extract the datafrom value objects and, in this case, convert it to XML data.

I hope you find thisuseful.
