PropertyGroup samples

Basics

From the older OpenKM version we named "Metadata Groups" as "Property Groups".

Although we understand this name does not help a lot to identify these methods with metadata ones, for historical reason, we continue maintaining the nomenclature.

For more information about Metadata.

On most methods you'll see a parameter named "nodeId". The value of this parameter can be a valid document, folder, mail or record UUID or path.

Example of nodeId:

Using UUID -> "f123a950-0329-4d62-8328-0ff500fd42db";
Using path -> "/okm:root/logo.png"

The class com.openkm.sdk4j.util.ISO8601 should be used to set and parse metadata date fields. The metadata field of type date values is stored in the application in ISO-8601 basic format.

To convert the retrieved metada field of type date to a valid date use:

Calendar cal = ISO8601.parseBasic(metadataFieldValue);

To save the date value in the metadata field of type date use:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); // Present date 
String metadataFieldValue = ISO8601.formatBasic(cal);
// metadataFieldValue can be saved into repository metadata field of type date
