PropertyGroup samples

Basics

Note

In older OpenKM versions, we called “Metadata Groups” “Property Groups”.

Although we understand this name does not help much to identify these methods as metadata-related, for historical reasons we continue to maintain the nomenclature.

For more information about Metadata.

Caution

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

To convert the retrieved metadata 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

Suggested code sample

First, you must create the web service object:

OKMWebservices ws = OKMWebservicesFactory.getInstance(host);

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

ws.login(user, password);

Caution

Once you are logged in to the web services, 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 Property Group methods from the “propertyGroup” class as shown below:

ws.propertyGroup.addGroup("8cd1e072-8595-4dd3-b121-41d622c43f08", "okg:consulting", propertiesMap);

Methods

addGroup

Description:

Method	Return values	Description
addGroup(String uuid, String grpName, Map<String, String> propertiesMap)	void	Adds an empty metadata group to a node.

Note

It is not mandatory to set all field values in the propertiesMap parameter; it is enough to include the fields whose values you wish to change.

Note

The sample below is based on this Metadata group definition:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE property-groups PUBLIC "-//OpenKM//DTD Property Groups 2.0//EN"
                                 "http://www.openkm.com/dtd/property-groups-2.0.dtd">
<property-groups>
  <property-group label="Technology" name="okg:technology">
    <select label="Type" name="okp:technology.type" type="multiple">
      <option label="Alfa" value="t1"/>
      <option label="Beta" value="t2" />
      <option label="Omega" value="t3" />
    </select>
    <select label="Language" name="okp:technology.language" type="simple">
      <option label="Java" value="java"/>
      <option label="Python" value="python"/>
      <option label="PHP" value="php" />
    </select>
    <input label="Date" name="okp:technology.date" type="date" />
    <input label="Comment" name="okp:technology.comment"/>
    <textarea label="Description" name="okp:technology.description"/>
    <checkbox label="Important" name="okp:technology.important"/>
    <input label="Link" type="link" name="okp:technology.link"/>
  </property-group>
</property-groups>

Note

To add several values to a metadata field of type “multiple” like this:

<select label="Type" name="okp:technology.type" type="multiple">
  <option label="Alfa" value="t1"/>
  <option label="Beto" value="t2"/>
  <option label="Omega" value="t3" />
</select>

You should do:

properties.put("okp:technology.type", "[\"t1\", \"t2\"]");

Where “t1” and “t2” are valid values and the character “,” is used as a separator.

Another option:

Gson gson = new Gson();
List<String> values = new ArrayList<>();
values.add("t1");
values.add("t2");
properties.put("okp:technology.type", gson.toJson(values));

• The grpName should be a valid Metadata group name.

Example:

package com.openkm;

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import com.openkm.sdk4j.OKMWebservicesFactory;

        String user = "okmAdmin";
        String password = "admin";
        OKMWebservices ws = OKMWebservicesFactory.getInstance(host);

        try {
            ws.login(user, password);
            Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<>();
            properties.put("okp:technology.type", "[ \"t1\", \"t2\" ]");
            Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
            // Value must be converted to String ISO 8601 compliant
            properties.put("okp:technology.date", ISO8601.formatBasic(cal));
            properties.put("okp:technology.comment", "comment sample");
            properties.put("okp:technology.description", "description sample");
            properties.put("okp:technology.language", "[ \"java\" ]");
            properties.put("okp:technology.important", String.valueOf(true));
            ws.propertyGroup.addGroup("4a3b1c1b-c880-45a3-a6ff-2c8b7c5adfa5", "okg:technology", properties);

<!DOCTYPE property-groups PUBLIC "-//OpenKM//DTD Property Groups 2.0//EN"
                                 "http://www.openkm.com/dtd/property-groups-2.0.dtd">
<property-groups>
  <property-group label="Technology" name="okg:technology">
    <select label="Type" name="okp:technology.type" type="multiple">
      <option label="Alfa" value="t1"/>
      <option label="Beta" value="t2" />
      <option label="Omega" value="t3" />
    </select>
    <select label="Language" name="okp:technology.language" type="simple">

  <option label="Alfa" value="t1"/>
  <option label="Beto" value="t2"/>
  <option label="Omega" value="t3" />
</select>

You should do:

properties.put("okp:technology.type", "[\"t1\", \"t2\"]");

Where “t1” and “t2” are valid values and the character “,” is used as a separator.
