OpenApi: IWPathNamedObject.lookupByPath returns null for existing file

Hi,

I have some java/openapi code that calls IWPathNamedObject.lookupByPath() but that returns null even though the file or directory exists. The javadocs are not very helpfull here.

Anybody seen this before?

Example code:

String path = "/default/main/myBranch/STAGING/templatedata/htblocks/textbox/data/myDirectory";
IWFile iwFile = (IWFile)IWPathNamedObject.lookupByPath(teamsite, path);

BTW, this code works fine for most paths but for some dirs/files it fails.

Thanks for any help, Ronald

Not too familiar with OpenAPI coding. Any chance you can convert this to CS SDK. It has some documentation and is used more widely. Is this some new application or legacy one? If it is new, go the CS SDK route. Open API is no longer supported (or won't be soon...)

Otherwise, I would venture to guess that perhaps there is some sort of permission issues with group sharing, file system setup, etc. Just a guess though.
