Folder samples

Basics

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

Tip

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 webservice object “ws” as shown below:

ws.login(user, password);

Caution

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

At this point you can use all the Folder methods from “folder” class as shown below:

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