RM Java™ API objects use properties to expose and allow
manipulation of their state. The RM Java API extends from the Content
Java API, and as a result you can set and retrieve properties in the
same way as you would for the Content Java API.
Note: 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 Enterprise
Manager.
- 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 Enterprise Manager explorer or using Enterprise
Manager 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.
