Old LAPI Code

Kevin_Bailey

Hi-

 

I have an old LAPI app that I have not yet converted to Webservices. What I need to do, is to somehow assign a category to an object. Just the category, no attributes assigned. Is this possible? Below is the category definition that I am passing to CreateObjectEx:

 

{A<1,?,data=A<1,?,ID=1,Values={A<1,?,2=A<1,?,ID=2,Values={?}>>}>,catID=A<1,?,ID=154865,DisplayName=CatOnly,version=1,type=0>,definition=A<1,?,Required=false,DisplayName=CatOnly,ValueTemplate=A<1,?,ID=1,Values={A<1,?,2=A<1,?,ID=2,Values={?}>>}>,Children={A<1,?,Required=false,DisplayName=Text,Length=32,DisplayLen=32,Type=-1,NumRows=1,ID=2,RegionName=Attr_154865_2,MaxRows=1,Search=true,FixedRows=true>},Type=-18,NumRows=1,ID=1,MaxRows=1,NextID=3,FixedRows=true,Name=CatOnly>>}

 

Note that there is an attribute defined with the category (above info object from FetchCategoryVersion). My code works fine if I set an attribute value, just wondering what I am doing wrong.

 

Thanks!

Kevin was this solved yet?.I tried to attempt and am getting some results not sure if you and I are saying/doing the same things...

Your CatVersion from FetchCategoryVersion
A<1,?,data=A<1,?,ID=1,Values={A<1,?,2=A<1,?,ID=2,Values={?}>>}>,catID=A<1,?,ID=154865,DisplayName=CatOnly,version=1,type=0>,definition=A<1,?,Required=false,DisplayName=CatOnly,ValueTemplate=A<1,?,ID=1,Values={A<1,?,2=A<1,?,ID=2,Values={?}>>}>,Children={A<1,?,Required=false,DisplayName=Text,Length=32,DisplayLen=32,Type=-1,NumRows=1,ID=2,RegionName=Attr_154865_2,MaxRows=1,Search=true,FixedRows=true>},Type=-18,NumRows=1,ID=1,MaxRows=1,NextID=3,FixedRows=true,Name=CatOnly>>}

My Catversion from FetchCategoryVersion
A<1,?,'CatVersion'=A<1,?,'catID'=A<1,?,'DisplayName'='1 EMPTY CATEGORY','ID'=304007,'type'=0,'version'=1>,'data'=A<1,?,'ID'=1,'Values'={A<1,?,'2'=A<1,?,'ID'=2,'Values'={?}>>}>,'definition'=A<1,?,'Children'={A<1,?,'DisplayLen'=32,'DisplayName'='Test','FixedRows'=true,'ID'=2,'Length'=32,'MaxRows'=1,'NumRows'=1,'RegionName'='Attr_304007_2','Required'=false,'Search'=true,'Type'=-1>},'DisplayName'='1 EMPTY CATEGORY','FixedRows'=true,'ID'=1,'MaxRows'=1,'Name'='__EMPTY_CATEGORY','NextID'=3,'NumRows'=1,'Required'=false,'Type'=-18,'ValueTemplate'=A<1,?,'ID'=1,'Values'={A<1,?,'2'=A<1,?,'ID'=2,'Values'={?}>>}>>>,'_apiError'='','_errMsg'='','_Status'=0,'_StatusMessage'='','_TimeLogin'='31 10 13 155703'>

Unless that was a cut and paste mistake my Datastructure looks like I have two more nested Assocs..
My code in java to set my category on a doc on CreateObjectEx
            *****************************************************************************************
     
            LLValue catID = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet();
            //catID.add("ID",295995);
            catID.add("ID",304007);

            LLValue categories = (new LLValue()).setList();
            LLValue catVersion = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet();
            categories.add(catVersion);
              doc.FetchCategoryVersion(    catID, catVersion);
               categories.add(catVersion);


              printTypeTree(catVersion,"|","|");



            //Setup any information for creation
            LLValue createInfo = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet();
            LLValue request = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet();
            request.add("Comment","These are the document's comments.");
            createInfo.add("request",request);

            //Add the list of categories to the createInfo
            createInfo.add("Categories", categories);
            *****************************************************************************************
            
MY real qn is I created a category and before I added any attributes,I tried to apply it thru the GUI.I got an error.
Doing that in LAPI also gave me the same error.Then I added one attribute and did not make it mandatory.
Now the GUI allows me that so does lapi.Is that what is being asked/tried or would lapi would have allowed you to add a versionless category
in the olden days?
MY java was  java version "1.6.0_18"
and my lapi was a 9.7.1 version jar and tried it against a CS10 Upd 10 server
