Create a Directory with Atmos JAVA API

Hi Jason,

You can use the EsuApi.createObjectOnPath(...) method to do this. To create a directory make sure that the ObjectPath ends with a '/' otherwise the path is interpreted to be for an object and not namespace

Here is some code in the NewDirectoryAction.java file of the Atmos Object Browser

Thanks,

Thanks, I'll have to look at the example when I have some time. I was

getting a null exception when calling createObjectOnPath in the

following code.

private static String mkdir(String imageDirName,String

pathName) {

String objID = "";

try {

UploadHelper uploadHelper = new

UploadHelper(esuAPI);

ObjectId oId =

uploadHelper.createObjectOnPath(new ObjectPath(pathName+imageDirName),

null, null, null);

objID = oId.toString();

} catch (Throwable e) {

System.err.println(e);

}

return objID;

}

I found the problem.  I noticed in the sample code that the createObjectOnPath() method takes 5 parameters.  In my code, the createObjectOnPath() method only accepts 4 parameters.  I discovered that both the EsuApi and EsuRestApi declare this method.  I was using the wrong one (via UploadHelper).

private static String mkdir(String dirName) {
     String objID = "";
     try {
          //UploadHelper uploadHelper = new UploadHelper(esuAPI);

          EsuRestApi esuAPI = new EsuRestApi(HOST, PORT, FULLTOKENID, SECRETKEY);

          //ObjectId oId = uploadHelper.createObjectOnPath(new ObjectPath(pathName+imageDirName), null, null, null);

          ObjectId oId = esuAPI.createObjectOnPath(new ObjectPath(dirName), null, null, null, null);

          objID = oId.toString();
          System.out.println(objID);
     } catch (Throwable e) {
          System.err.println(e);
     }
     return objID;
}

Thanks for the input.
