Web Services to update the Nickname

[oscript]

I have a requirement in LL 9.7.1 to update the 'Nickname' at document creation time - does anyone know if this is possible using web services (pref Java but C# would be OK) and perhaps could point me in the right direction - ideally with a code example ? It may of course be that the update needs to be made to the Nickname post document add. Many thanks in advance for any ideas.

Pretty straight forward really. The following (java in this case but easilly adapted) function does the job:

public static void setNodeNickname(DocumentManagement dm,int nodeId, String svNickname) {
// change the nickname property of the Node
// needs to be unique of course.
Node node = dm.getNode(nodeId);
node.setNickname(svNickname);
dm.updateNode(node);
}
