Create link to a folder.

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi

I need to create a webscript to make links to folders from one site to another but I cannot find a function to do it, is there any function for this? I know there is a type link but I don't know how to create a node of that type.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is no difference between creating a node of link type and creating a node of other types.
Just passing ApplicationModel.TYPE_FILELINK or ApplicationModel.TYPE_FOLDERLINK as nodeTypeQName to NodeService.createNode() method,and adding ContentModel.PROP_LINK_DESTINATION property to your properties map will be ok.

ApplicationModel.TYPE_FILELINK and ApplicationModel.TYPE_FOLDERLINK are subtypes of cm:link.

Here is an example:

                             Map<QName, Serializable> props = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>();
                              props.put(ContentModel.PROP_NAME, "an link node");
                              props.put(ContentModel.PROP_LINK_DESTINATION, folder red);
                                 // create File Link node
                                 ChildAssociationRef childRef = nodeService.createNode(
                                       parentRef,
                                       ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS,
                                 QName.createQName(namespaceuri, "an link node"),
                                       ApplicationModel.TYPE_FOLDERLINK,
                                       props);
