Drill down list

Question

how to get drill down list for Employee repository which is having (item descriptors) department,employee.i need the drill down list as departments ---> employee ---->employee Details..

Answer 1

Not sure if you have looked into the ATG Repository APIs. Here is one way to start with:
//resolve and get the reference to your repository component
Repository repos = getRepository();
//get all the items in the repository
String [] itemNames = repos.getItemDescriptorNames();  //can also use getItemDescriptor("itemName") to directly get a particular item's RepositoryItemDescriptor and avoid looping
//loop through all the items in the repository
for(String itemName: itemNames)
     System.out.println("item name is: " + itemName);
        //RepositoryItemDescriptor object for the item
     RepositoryItemDescriptor itemDescriptor = repos.getItemDescriptor(itemName);
        //get all the properties of this item
     String[] propertyNames = itemDescriptor.getPropertyNames();
        //create and execute an "ALL" query for the current item
     RepositoryView view = repos.getView(itemName);
     Query query = view.getQueryBuilder().createUnconstrainedQuery();          
     RepositoryItem [] resultItems = view.executeQuery(query);
        //loop through all the result items and get the property data for each result item
     if(resultItems!=null)
          for(RepositoryItem resultItem: resultItems)
               System.out.println("drilling down into the item: " + itemName + " with id: " + resultItem.getRepositoryId());
               for(String propertyName: propertyNames)
                    System.out.println("property name is: " + propertyName);
                    System.out.println("property value is: " + resultItem.getPropertyValue(propertyName));
                                //do whatever needs to be done with data
}Note that the code is in raw form. Apaprt from SOPs, there can be certain optimizations and better flow control. But I sort of intentionally made it this way so that focus can be on understanding the approach for drilling down a repository using Repository APIs. While implementing your solution you can create and populate the appropriate data structures as per your requirement with possible optimizations.
