Creating objects with unique id's

Question

Hi all, Just wondering if its possible using the Atmos object interface api to create an object with a specific identifier ? I've been taking a look at the Atmos 2.1.0 java binding and the AtmosApi seems to have a 'createObject' interface method that allows the specification of an identifier:     /**     * Creates a new object in the cloud with the specified identifier.     *     * @param identifier  The identifier to use for the new object. This may be an ObjectPath or an ObjectKey.     * @param content     The initial content of the object. May be appended to later. May be null to create an     *                    object with no content. The content object can be any object type that is supported by the     *                    implementation.     * @param contentType the MIME type of the content. Optional, may be null. If null, defaults to     *                    application/octet-stream.     *     * @return ObjectId of the newly created object.     */    ObjectId createObject( ObjectIdentifier identifier, Object content, String contentType ); Maybe this method should only be used for creation of object paths ? Thanks for your help, Jack.

That's correct.  That version of the createObject method should only be used with an ObjectPath.  You cannot use that version to specify an ObjectId.
