Relation samples

Basics

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

Tip

Example of nodeId:

• 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 logged in to the webservice, the session is kept in the webservice object. Then you can use the other API methods.

At this point, you can use all the Relation methods from the “relation” class as shown below:

ws.relation.getRelationTypes(RelationType.BIDIRECTIONAL);

Methods

getRelationTypes

Description:

Method	Return values	Description
getRelationTypes(String type)	List	Retrieves a list of all relations defined for a type.

Available types:

• RelationType.BIDIRECTIONAL
• RelationType.PARENT_CHILD
• RelationType.MANY_TO_MANY

Note

getAllRelationGroups

Description:

Method	Return values	Description
getAllRelationGroups(int relationTypeId, String filter, int offset, int limit)	RelationGroupResultSet	Retrieves a list of all relation groups.

Tip

The parameters “limit” and “offset” allow you to retrieve just a portion of the results of a query.

• The parameter “limit” limits the number of results returned.
• The parameter “offset” specifies how many results to skip before beginning to return results.

Note

For example, if your query has 1000 results, but you only want to return the first 10, you should use these values:

• limit=10
• offset=0

Now suppose you want to show the results from 11-20; you should use these values:

• limit=10
• offset=10
