Rename an Object in LAPI

[kalabog]

I can't seem to find resources on renaming an object using LAPI. Im assuming this *MUST* be possible. All I could see is adding, deleting and copying...

Is there a way of renaming a dtree node (folder/project) using LAPI without the use of LAPI copy & LAPI delete?

Any help appreciated.

cheers

I have included a working java source file with lots of comments showing my thought process.What I am doing here is getting the nodeID of a project and then changing the CreateDate parameter and the 'Name' parameter.Once you compile it and run after changing the parameters for your livelink test server you should see the name changed to reverse everytime it runs,for which i have used the stringbuffer's reverse function.I have tested it on a project object but folders should work fine too.

/*
The code albeit hard coded uses the livelink java api combined
for getting project related info
In this example I retreive Project related items and update them
