Getting object ID by passing folder name

[Deebika]

Hi All..
Can anybody help me in developing methods(API) for search requirement By Getting object ID by passing folder name and Getting documents by passing object ID

Thanks

what languages are you working in ? the get object by id code is already implemented internally and as an API / WebService layer. The folder name -> Object ID is more complex as names are not required to be unique across the system, so you may have to specify a parent node or a path to figure this out.

Thanks for ur reply ggriffit ! we are using java and we will be searching inside a parent node and the folders inside the parent node are unique. . so is folder name -> Object ID is possible as the folders are unique under a parent node ? Please suggest a sample code

Are you using LAPI or WebServices ? If you are using LL9.7.1 or later I would recommend the latter, you should be able to get a List of contents in the container and then check to see if they match your required name.

which should provide the details you need.
