Delete and attach library without forms builder using java api

Question

Hi all,
I am not at all familiar with JAVA. Appreciate if somebody can help me out.
We have a lot of forms and we are moving them to aix server. To standardize we have renamed all the files as FILENAME.ext i.e filename is upper case and extension is lower. After doing this we get errors while compiling the fmbs as the filename has been modified after it was attached in the forms.
I need the java api and the procedure to run the api to delete the existing attached libraries and attach the renamed libraries.
Appreciate your help in this regards.
Regards,

hello,
There are severail ways for you to solve this problem.
1) Use the jdapi utility you can find at Francois degrelle's javabean depot. Quite easy to use and should solve your problem. You can find it here:

2) Use the following two java methods as the basis for your java converter.
<blockquote>
private boolean findJdapiObject(JdapiObject object,String objName){
     boolean matchFlag=false;
     // get Iterator with all ownedObjects
JdapiIterator ownedObjects = object.getOwnedObjects();
// loop all ownedObjects
while (ownedObjects.hasNext()) {
JdapiObject ownedObject = (JdapiObject)ownedObjects.next();
if (ownedObject.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(objName)){
     matchFlag=true;
     message_verbose = "Librairie PLL est déjà attachée !! " ;
this.addOutputLine(message_verbose,0);
     return matchFlag;
// check child objects of this child using recursion
findJdapiObject(ownedObject, objName);
return matchFlag;
private void addJdapiObject(JdapiModule object,String objName){
     boolean matchFlag=false;
     //check if PLL exists
     matchFlag=findJdapiObject((JdapiObject)object, objName);
     if (!matchFlag){
          //add PLL
          numOcc++;
          AttachedLibrary newLib =
new AttachedLibrary((FormModule)object,objName.toLowerCase());
</blockquote>
You need to check that your object does not exist before adding it. You can also modify the addJdapiObject method to remove objects.
