PropertyGroup samples

Basics

Note

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

Although we understand this name does not help much in identifying these methods as metadata ones, for historical reasons we continue to maintain the nomenclature.

For more information about Metadata.

In almost all methods, you’ll see the parameter named “nodeId”. The value of this parameter can be the UUID of a valid document, folder, mail, or record.

Tip

Example of a nodeId:

• Using UUID -> “f123a950-0329-4d62-8328-0ff500fd42db”

Caution

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

To convert a retrieved metadata field of type date to a valid date, use:

DateTime date = ISO8601.parseBasic(metadataFieldValue);

To save a date value into a metadata field of type date, use:

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

Suggested code sample

First, you must create the webservice object:

OKMWebservices ws = OKMWebservicesFactory.newInstance(host);

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

ws.login(user, password);

Caution

Once you are logged in to the web service, the session is kept in the webservice object. You can then 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 nodeId, String grpName, Dictionary<String, String> propertiesMap)	void	Adds a metadata group to a node.

The grpName should be a valid Metadata group name.

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="Consulting" name="okg:consulting">
<input label="Name" type="text" name="okp:consulting.name"/>
<input label="Date" type="date" name="okp:consulting.date" />
<checkbox label="Important" name="okp:consulting.important"/>
<textarea label="Comment" name="okp:consulting.comment"/>
</property-group>
</property-groups

Note

To add several values to a metadata field of type multiple and to add a value to a metadata field of type simple, like this:

<select label="Multiple" name="okp:consulting.multiple" type="multiple">
<option label="One" value="one"/>
<option label="Two" value="two"/>
<option label="Three" value="three" />
</select>

<select label="Simple" name="okp:consulting.simple" type="simple">
<option label="One" value="one"/>
<option label="Two" value="two"/>
<option label="Three" value="three" />
</select>

You should do:

properties.Add("okp:consulting.multiple", "[one,two]");
properties.Add("okp:consulting.simple", "[one]");

Where “one” and “two” are valid values, the character “,” is used as a separator, and the options should go between “[” and “]”.

Example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using com.openkm.sdk4csharp;
using com.openkm.sdk4csharp.util;

namespace OKMRest
{

try
{
ws.login(user, password);
Dictionary<string, string> props = new Dictionary<string, string>();
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
props.Add("okp:consulting.name", "test");
props.Add("okp:consulting.date", ISO8601.formatBasic(date));
props.Add("okp:consulting.important", "true");
props.Add("okp:consulting.comment", "test");
ws.propertyGroup.addGroup("f0064cf3-4776-44c2-868a-f08697a6957e", "okg:consulting", props);

• The “className” value must be the canonical class name of a class that implements the FieldValidator interface.
