How to copy a folder over CWS

Hi,

I need to make a new copy of a folder (including its contents) into a different folder on CS via CWS. According to the documentation, this code should work:

int nodeId = 355204;

int parentId = 349614;

CopyOptions options = new CopyOptions();

Node result = docManService.copyNode(nodeId, parentId, null, options);

System.out.println(result.getID());

Actualy, this does not work for me - the copyNode method throws a SOAPFaultException (NullPointerException).

I have used the following calls to verify that both the node ID's used as arguments are valid. The following calls return the correct display names.

docManService.getNode(nodeId).getName();

docManService.getNode(parentId).getName();

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Petr

Hi Petr,

You need to at least set the value for the AttributeSourceType option of the CopyOptions object. In Java, it does not default to any value, so when you create the CopyOptions object this will be null (unlike in the C# world, where some default value for this enum would be used). This is why you are getting the NullPointerException.
