Folder samples

Basics

On most methods, you'll see the parameter named "fldId". The value of this parameter can be a valid folder UUID.

Example of fldId:

Using UUID -> "f123a950-0329-4d62-8328-0ff500fd42db"

Suggested code sample

First, you must create the webservice object:

OKMWebservices ws = OKMWebservicesFactory.newInstance(host);

Then you should log in using the method "login". You can access the "login" method from the web service object "ws" as shown below:

ws.login(user, password);

Once you are logged in with the web service, the session is kept in the web service object. Then you can use the other API methods.

At this point you can use all the Folder methods of "folder" class as shown below:

ws.folder.create("1be884f4-5758-4985-94d1-f18bfe004db8", "test");
