OKMFolder

Basics

In almost all methods you’ll see a parameter named “fldId”. The value of this parameter can be a valid folder UUID.

Tip

Example of fldId:

• Using UUID -> “b67fe3ae-bcca-4947-b8ea-0cc7aedd4474”;

Also, in all methods you’ll see a parameter named “token”. Because Cron tasks are executed in the background without authentication, methods used in this scenario might use the token parameter. From the default application execution context you must use the “null” value, which indicates the application must use the “user session”.

Tip

In special cases you might be “promoted to Administrator” using the “administrator token”.

String systemToken = DbSessionManager.getInstance().getSystemToken();

Methods

create

Description:

Method	Return values	Description
create(String token, Folder fld)	Folder	Creates a new folder and returns a Folder object.

Caution

The other variables of the Folder ( fld ) will not have any effect on the folder creation.

We suggest using the method below to create the Folder rather than this one.

• The variable path in the parameter fld must be initialized. It indicates the folder path in OpenKM.

Example:

package com.openkm;

import com.openkm.api.OKMFolder;
import com.openkm.bean.Folder;
import com.openkm.util.ContextWrapper;

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            OKMFolder okmFolder = ContextWrapper.getContext().getBean(OKMFolder.class);
            Folder fld = new Folder();
            fld.setPath("/okm:root/test");
            okmFolder.create(null, fld);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

        try {
            OKMFolder okmFolder = ContextWrapper.getContext().getBean(OKMFolder.class);
            String fldPath = "/okm:root/test";
            okmFolder.createSimple(null, fldPath);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
