Interface NotesContentService

@Deprecated public interface NotesContentService
Deprecated.
Convenience methods for creating note content. The service is used to retrieve notes from disk and update notes on disk. This service writes and retrieves notes from disk. This must be used in conjunction with the note methods in ProcessExecutionService. When creating a note this service must be called immediately after creating the NoteMetadata using ProcessExecutionService.createNoteMetadata(NoteMetadata)

Methods of service classes can all throw the unchecked exception ServiceException if any system-level error (for example, server failure) occurs, and will in general throw a checked exception (InvalidXXXException) when an entity to be retrieved is inaccessible, instead of returning null. Exceptions to this paradigm (including the use of ResultList as described below) are noted. All checked exceptions extend AppianException.

It may be necessary to retrieve a subset of results as opposed to an entire collection, and also to sort the subset by some property of the returned object. "Paging" methods which return a ResultPage are provided in certain instances for this purpose. The ResultPage will contain the sorted subset of results (via Result.getResults()), and the total number of items in the available result set (via ResultPage.getAvailableItems()).

It may also be necessary to retrieve some results, even if all results cannot be retrieved (for instance, some of the entities corresponding to a list of entity IDs may no longer exist). Methods which return a ResultList are provided for this purpose. The Result.getResults() method in this case will return all results which can be retrieved. In addition, there will be a list of result codes (ResultList.getResultCodes()) that represent the successful retrieval of an entity, or, if the entity could not be retrieved, the reason for the failure. See the CODE_XXX constants in ResultList for details.

    • assembleNote

      Note assembleNote(NoteMetadata nm_) throws AppianException
      Deprecated.
      Assembles a note from note metadata. The note content will be fetched from disk from the location pointed to by NoteMetadata.getLocation(). The location refers to the full path of a file on disk. If no note content file exists at the location, the returned note will be populated with default content (text indicating that the note could not be found). NoteMetaData fields required for Note creation are: none.
      Parameters:
      nm_ - the metadata to assemble from which to assemble a note
      Returns:
      Note object populated from NoteMetadata
      Throws:
      AppianException - if any error is encountered executing the method
      ServiceException - if any system-level error occurs

    • assembleNotes

      Note[] assembleNotes(NoteMetadata[] nms_) throws AppianException
      Deprecated.
      Assembles an array of notes from note metadata. This method is the bulk version of assembleNote(com.appiancorp.suiteapi.process.NoteMetadata)
      Parameters:
      nms_ - an array of metadata from which to assemble the notes
      Returns:
      an array of notes, populated from the note metadata
      Throws:
      AppianException - if any error is encountered executing the method
      ServiceException - if any system-level error occurs

    • createNoteContent

      void createNoteContent(String location_, String content_) throws WriteException
      Deprecated.
      Creates new note content at the specified location on disk. The location refers to the full path of a file on disk.
      Parameters:
      location_ - the location on disk where note content is to be stored.
      content_ - the content to be stored at the given location
      Throws:
      AppianException - if any error is encountered executing the method
      ServiceException - if any system-level error occurs
      WriteException

    • createNoteContent

      void createNoteContent(NoteMetadata nm_, String content_) throws WriteException
      Deprecated.

      Parameters:
      nm_ - the note metadata specifying the location on disk where content is to be created (specifically, content will be created at the location specified by NoteMetadata.getLocation())
      content_ - the content to be stored at the given location
      Throws:
      AppianException - if any error is encountered executing the method
      ServiceException - if any system-level error occurs
      WriteException

    • updateNoteContent

      void updateNoteContent(String location_, String content_) throws WriteException
      Deprecated.
      Updates the note content at the specified location on disk. The location refers to the full path of a file on disk.
      Parameters:
      location_ - the location on disk of the note content
      content_ - the new content to be stored at the given location
      Throws:
      AppianException - if any error is encountered executing the method
