Hello there,

i have the following piece of code to create a folder. Now i want to set the uuid of the new Reference manually when the new folder is created. How can i do that ? Thank you very much.

  public String createFolder(String folderPath, final String folderId,final String folderName) throws RemoteException, RepositoryFault {
       
    final ParentReference parentReference = new ParentReference(STORE,null,folderPath,Constants.ASSOC_CONTAINS,getChildName(folderName));
    final String newId = (null == folderId) ? "-1" : folderId;
    CMLCreate create = new CMLCreate(newId, parentReference, null, null, null, Constants.TYPE_FOLDER, createDefaultProperties(folderName));
    //create content manipulation language
    CML cml = new CML();
    //set content to create
    cml.setCreate(new CMLCreate[]{create});   
        
    UpdateResult[] result;
    try {
      WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService().update(cml);              
    } catch (RepositoryFault e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (RemoteException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }    
    return folderPath;
  } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I think that you can't set manually the UUID, this value is generated by a specific implementation of this algorithm.
