Containment

Data for collaboration containers—Teams, Tasks, Meetings, Emails, Polls, and Discussions—is stored and maintained within subfolders of a teamspace's _internal folder. These folders implement the FolderContainer interface (an extension of the Container interface), providing the containment capabilities of a Content Engine Folder object.

Access to these folders is provided through any of the following ContainerManager methods:

• getContainerByDefinitionID(String id). Requires an identifier such as Collaboration.COLLABORATION_MEETINGS_CONTAINER_DEFID.
• getContainerOfContainee(int type, String id). Requires a type to return the container (such as Collaboration.TYPE_MEETING). ID is a GUID of a Content Engine object, such as CollaborationMeeting.
• getContainers() returns an iterator over all registered containers in the teamspace.

A new container is created when data is passed to the FolderContainer object's addSubContainer method. For details see any of the following topics: Creating a Team, Creating a Task, Creating a Meeting, Creating a Teamspace Email Object, Creating a Discussion Forum, or Creating a Poll.
