content classes?

timv — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 07:35:04 GMT

Hi, I have been reading in the wiki docs, but it's not all clear to me.In other cmses I create a content class, say Event, which has some attributes, let's say an image, a title, a description, a start-date. After that I can create a couple of instances of the event type, event1, event2, event3,… .H

You configure the web client to show the custom types you would like to be able to create.

Thanks alot.

I created the content and a couple of 'instances' of it. Let's say event1 and event2.
Now, using the webservices API I can fetch the content (and I guess also other normal properties) like this:

Reference EventFolder = new Reference(store, null, "/app:company_home/cm:Public_x0020_website/cm:Events/cm:jfall");
Content[] readResult = contentService.read(new Predicate(new Reference[]{EventFolder}, store, null),Constants.PROP_CONTENT);
Content content = readResult[0];
writer.println(ContentUtils.getContentAsString(content);‍‍‍‍

But now for my event, having a description property (cm:myDescription), how can I fetch the value of this description property in my code?

Thank You.

You can either use the getProperties() method on NodeService or if you are using the web service API you can use the get() method in the RepositoryWebService. The resulting Node objects have the individual properties.
