Getting file info using OpenAPI

ricardorodriguez

Does anyone know if using the OpenAPI we can have access to the information of one file?, I mean, if we can access the information about the user that created de file, the date that was created o modified.

Thanks in advance

There are methods defined for these in OPENAPI.
OPENAPI JavaDoc will also help to find which method gets the file creation date and modified date.

IWFile file=(IWFile)fileObject;
// Get the File data which contains the metadata information
IWFile.Data fileData = file.getFileData(fileSysService);
// Getting the size of the File
size=Long.toString(((IWSimpleFile.Data)fileData).numContentBytes);
title =fileData.name;
creationTime=fileData.creationTime.toString();
String creatorName=fileData.creator.getName(accessService);
//Get the creator name only ..... remove the group name and '\'
creator=creatorName.substring(creatorName.lastIndexOf('\\')+1);
String ownerName=fileData.owner.getName(accessService);
owner=ownerName.substring(ownerName.lastIndexOf('\\')+1);
contModTime=fileData.lastContentModTime.toString();
parentPath=fileData.parent.getPath(fileSysService);
path=fileData.path;
IWAccessor lastMod=fileData.lastModifier;
// check file contents are modified
if (lastMod!=null){
String lastUserName= lastMod.getName(accessService);
lastUser=lastUserName.substring(lastUserName.lastIndexOf('\\')+1);
}

IWFile.ExtraData extraData=fileData.getFileExtraData();
IWArea area=extraData.area;
IWArea.Data areaData=area.getAreaData(fileSysService);
String lastName=IWPath.extractLastName(IWPath.smInputCaseSensitive,path);
IWFileVersion currentVersion=extraData.currentFileVersion;
if(currentVersion!=null){
// Getting the Revision String of the File as Version
String revString=currentVersion.getRevisionString(fileSysService);
version=revString.substring(revString.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
// Getting the Description (comments entered by user)
Collection history=(Collection)currentVersion.getHistoryTable(fileSysService, path, 1);
Iterator iter =(Iterator) history.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()){
IWFileVersion.FileHistoryResultInfo hisdata = (IWFileVersion.FileHistoryResultInfo)iter.next();
description=description+ hisdata.checkinComment;

Hope this helps
