[enkidu]

hi mates,

how do i create a folder with filefolderservice? i wanna create a folder in the documentlibrary lets say i.e.: 2013-003 any ideas?

found this below.. but this is only for creating files but i need a folder in a specific folder

       QName contentQName = QName.createQName("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content");
       FileInfo pdfInfo = fileFolderService.create(directory, filename, contentQName);
       NodeRef pdf = pdfInfo.getNodeRef();

If above code is working for you then to create folder you just need to change this line
QName contentQName = QName.createQName("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content");
with

this one
QName contentQName = QName.createQName("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}folder");

thnx for ur reply.. can u tell me what directory (FileInfo pdfInfo = fileFolderService.create(directory???, filename, contentQName);
) should look like??

directory is nothing but the noderef of parent space under which you want to create folder.
you have to get it from repo using search,

You can first search parent directory by using  FileFolderService.searchSimple() or FileFolderService.search() method and then use create() method to create a file or folder; or any type derived from file or folder.

hi mate.. i need an example.. some code snippets would be great..

Get root node using nodeService

        NodeRef storeRootNodeRef = nodeService.getRootNode(StoreRef.STORE_REF_WORKSPACE_SPACESSTORE);
‍‍‍

Search parent directory ith the matching name pattern using fileFolderService or using searchServcie

   //using fileFolderService
        List<FileInfo> parentDirectory = fileFolderService.searchstoreRootNodeRef , "folder name****", true);
   NodeRef parentNodeRef = parentDirectory .getNodeRef();
   //using searchService
        List<NodeRef> results = searchService.selectNodes(
                storeRootNodeRef,
                "/app:company_home/app:****/",
                null,
                namespaceService,
                false,
                SearchService.LANGUAGE_XPATH);
        if (results.size() == 0)
        {
            throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException("Didn't find node"+name);
        }
        NodeRef parentNodeRef = results.get(0);
