Hi,

At the moment the creation of categories is not supported via the web service API.

As a work around a custom action could be developed to do the work you require and this could be executed from the web service API.

Roy

Are you seeing an issue with this unit test?

If so what seems to be the issue?

sorry i shoulda clarified

i'm able to create categories using this junit.

and i was posting the solution for others to see.

get rid of the "a" in front of atestcreateSpace" and that test will actually create a category.

testCreateSpace(){
