Description

To setup a DFC development environment you will need at a minimum the dfc.jar and dfcbase.jar files. However, we recommend that you reference all the jar files in the folder that contains the dfc.jar file. On Windows, this folder typically is c:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared. In addition, you will need any classfolders and jars of your custom business objects. Another important component is the folder that contains the dfc.properties and the log4j.properties file. This folder needs to be in the classpath too.

Creating a Java project for DFC development in Eclipse 3.1
1.      Click on menu item File->New->Project
2.      From the 'New Project' window select Java>Java Project and then click on 'Next'
3.      Enter a project name (example - 'Simple DFC Project'). For sake of keeping things simple, keep the defaults for other options on this screen. Click on 'Next'
4.      Select the 'Libraries' Tab and click on the 'Add External Jars' button.
5.      In the 'Jar Selection' dialog navigate to the folder that contains the dfc.jar file. On Windows, this is typically c:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared. Select all (CTRL+A) the jars in this folder and then click on 'Open'.
6.      Now, click on the 'Add Class Folder' button and then click on 'Create New Folder'
7.      In the 'New Folder' dialog give some name (e.g. 'dmConfig') and click on 'Advanced'
8.      Select the 'Link to folder in filesystem' checkbox and choose the folder that contains the dfc.properties file. On Windows this is typically C:\Documentum\config
9.      Click on 'Ok' in both the 'New Folder' and 'Add Class Folder' dialogs
10.      Again for the sake of simplicity, keep the default project settings and click on 'Finish'.
11.      Eclipse will create a project with the default source and output folders. You can now create Java classes that use DFC in the project. To create a new class right-click on the source folder(or package) and select New->Class. To execute a Java class right-click on the class and select Run As->Java Application. For more details related to the Java development options, please refer to the Eclipse documentation.

//This will help you import a new object into the repository
 
public static IDfDocument importDocument( IDfSession session,
    String objectName, IDfFolder folder, String filePath )
    throws DfException {
        // Create a dm_document object and set properties
        IDfDocument document = (IDfDocument)session.newObject("dm_document");
        document.setObjectName( objectName );
        document.setContentType( "crtext" );
	//setFileEx parameters (fileName,formatName,pageNumber,otherFile)
        document.setFileEx( filePath, "crtext", 0, null );
        
        // Specify the folder in which to create the document
        document.link( folder.getObjectId().toString() );
        
        // Save the document in the Docbase
        document.save();
        
        return document;
    }
 
 
// This will help you to connect to the repository
 
    IDfSessionManager createSessionManager(String docbase, String user, String pass)
    throws Exception {
        //create Client objects
        IDfClientX clientx = new DfClientX();
        IDfClient client = clientx.getLocalClient();
        
        //create a Session Manager object
        IDfSessionManager sMgr = client.newSessionManager();
        
        //create an IDfLoginInfo object named loginInfoObj
        IDfLoginInfo loginInfoObj = clientx.getLoginInfo();
        loginInfoObj.setUser(user);
        loginInfoObj.setPassword(pass);
        loginInfoObj.setDomain(null);
        
        //bind the Session Manager to the login info
        sMgr.setIdentity(docbase, loginInfoObj);
        //could also set identity for more than one Docbases:
        // sMgr.setIdentity( strDocbase2, loginInfoObj );
        //use the following to use the same loginInfObj for all Docbases (DFC 5.2 or later)
        // sMgr.setIdentity( * , loginInfoObj );
        return sMgr;
    }
