Are you trying to get a single set of results with an upper limit on the number of results (ie. you're not interested in paging through) ?

If so then you should be able to treat that call as a single "page", ie. set skipCount to 0 and maxItemsPerPage as the upper limit …

Thanks for your reply. But, I tried another way, this also worked.


       ItemIterable<CmisObject> children = folder.getChildren();
       children = children.getPage(50);

Now, the children just returns 50 objects.

Can you please confirm, if this is a Ok??

Thanks!
Jeff

FYI, see also:

with:

int maxItemsPerPage = 50;
int skipCount = 0;
