System.out.println("Sub-Branches in the branch: " + branch.getName());

Are you trying to get a branch object, or just the branch path?

Also - the vpath you provided to CSVPath is incorrect - nowhere in that path do you have either "STAGING" or "WORKAREA/workarea_name" - so I'm not too surprised that you're getting an error.

Sorry i did have the proper CSVpath(typo on the intial post) .I am trying to get the branch object . This particualar statement branch.getName(); is throwing the exception .How do i retreive the branch name after getting the object.

CSBranch branch = client.getBranch(new CSVPath("//p-web-ts1/default/main/americas/us/en/WORKAREA/shared_wa/sites/us/en/test-and-dele/leftnav.page"), true);

System.out.println("Branch Name: " + branch.getName());

Thanks

It's throwing an exception because a branch with that name doesn't exist (you're using a file path instead of a branch path). Try this instead:

CSBranch branch = client.getBranch(new CSVPath("//p-web-ts1/default/main/americas/us/en"), true);
System.out.println("Branch Name: " + branch.getName());

Doh! I was right about the original path being wrong - but for the wrong reason ;-)

Thanks .I some how that that it should would give me the sub branch name from the CSVpath.

Thank you for the clarification.

If all you have as input is the vpath of a file, then that CSVPath object has methods like getBranch() to cut off the end, but you have to do that before you ask the CSClient to resolve the CSBranch object.
