CreateNode with specific subtype

Hi,

I have previously developed using lapi but for different reasons I have to move over to content web services. I used to be able to create any object I wanted in livelink via the CreateObjectEx method of the lapi_documents class.

Now, with the content service, I can only specify the subtype via a string (which I feel is a very odd approach..) and I dont know the internal name of all these subtypes that are in the system, not talking about 3rd party subtypes.

How can I get a list of the corresponding Typename for a given subtype?

Is there a way to create using the int representation og subtype? ie. 144, 0, 751 etc

Thanks,

Rune

Hi Rune,

There is no way to use the integer representation of the subtype when creating a new node.

There is a method to retrieve the available nodes types that you can create though. This is the getNodeTypes() method in the Document Management service.

Hope that helps.
