RM Java™ API objects use properties to expose and allow
manipulation of their state. The RM Java API extends from the Content
Java Compatibility Layer API, and as a result you can set and retrieve
properties in the same way as you would for the Content Java Compatibility
Layer API.
For detailed information about working with properties,
refer to "Properties" in the Help for Content Java API
The
following sections provide information on how to retrieve and set
properties as well as reference information on the properties defined
in the RM API:
In addition, see Creating a RecordType object for
a code snippet that retrieves the property descriptions for required
properties. For sample code that shows how to filter out required
properties that have default values, see "Filtering Properties"
in the Help for Content Java API.
Tip: You can
examine which properties are required for an object using IBM Administration
Console for Content Platform Engine.
- Right-click on an existing object of the type in question (such
as an existing Record Folder object) and select Properties.
Click on the Properties tab. Properties that
display in red are required properties. You can find an existing object
of certain type using the IBM Administration
Console for Content Platform Engine explorer
or using IBM Administration
Console for Content Platform Engine search.
- Right-click on the type in question (such as Record
Folder) and select Properties.
Click on the Property Definitions tab. You
will see a list of properties for this type. Click on a property and
select Edit. You will see the symbolic name
of this property. Click on the More tab, if
Value Required checkbox is checked, it means this property is required.
