Update Category Information on a document

[bhaner]

Does any one have a java example of updating category information on a document.

Attached is a very bad way(evrything hard coded) of doing it.Please use it at your risk ,understand it fully and do it.Why I say this is because using this method you need to fully understand the
assocs(type included)before you can do the category updating.My humble suggestion would be to download the EasyLAPI jar files form OT's knowledge base and try using that.It should be fairly simple to use.Also the CreateObjectEx expects all things to be assocs and you will have nasty surprises if your implementation of livelink
has manadatory system attributes.I have recently put a better Cats and Atts sample at

if you care to look.
