method createItemForPath() Question

Aurel Ganga

 

Hello fellow community members,

 

For the method->

createItemForPath()

xsd:string createItemForPath(

{urn:elib.services.ecm.opentext.com}Item item,

xsd:string id,

{urn:elib.services.ecm.opentext.com}Folder folders

)

Return value: the ID of the created Item

 

Can you give me an example of how to give provide the parameter "folders", when these folders are to be created?

Say I have 

Folder Root;

and I want to create an item under

Root:FolderA:FolderB:FolderC:MyItem

I have to call

createItemForPath(myItem,Root.getId(),???)

 

Keep in mind Folder A-C don't exist, they are to be created automatically by the method.

Thanks.

 

Regards,

Aurel

When you use JAX-WS to create Java stubs the method has this signature

 

               String createItemForPath(Item item, String startFolderID, List<Folder> folders)

 

i.e. it gets alist of folders. So in Java you have to do the following:

 

               List<Folder> folders = new ArrayList<Folder>();

      Folder       folder;

     

      // create Folder instance for FolderA as if it were for a createFolder() call

folder  = new Folder()

      ...

      folders.add(folder)

           

      // create Folder instance for FolderB as if it were for a createFolder() call

folder  = new Folder()

      ...

      folders.add(folder)

 

      // create Folder instance for FolderC as if it were for a createFolder() call

folder  = new Folder()

      ...

      folders.add(folder)

 

      // issue call

      String itemID;

      itemID = elSvc.createItemForPath(myItem, Root.getId(), folders);
