Hi All,

 

I went through the link(http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=JAVA_development&thread.id=5574) to create a documnet.Now I got the problem in creating the Folder.

 

In this section Simon told like this "either query for a folderId from the Folder object, or use the UsersId, to create a document in the users private documents folder".I queried the Folders object It was returning me 0 folders.

 

Now my question is I can not create a folder as like this

 

Folder folder = new Folder();

folder.id='MyUserName';(the username which i used to login)

 

Document doc = new Document();Blob blobObj = Blob.valueOf('This is a test String for Blob');

doc.Body=blobObj;

doc.DeveloperName ='NewAuthor';doc.ContentType=

'text/html';

doc.Description=eventDesc;

doc.Name =eventName;

doc.FolderId=folder.Id;

 

Which is giving me an Exception "System.StringException: Invalid id: 'MyUserName'.

 

Can any one please tell how to create the folder in Apex code.with the user specified name.

 

Or is it something like we need to create folders in some other palce ?

 

Thanks

Chandra.

Do you really need a web service to do this?

Can't you use the <apex:inputFile> tag present in Visual Force?

You can't assign an Id for the folder. Id is unique and it is automatically created by Salesforce.
