How the sContainerLocation parameter has been set and used?

Question

Hi,
I'm confused with the following 2 methods in IContainerProvider Interface (Java EDK5.0):(1) public IContainer attachToContainer(String sContainerLocation, ChildRequestHint oHint, String Locale);(2).public ChildContainer[] getChildContainers();
I'm not sure how the sContainerLocation parameter has been set correctly for the top lever container and the sub level (child containers). What i intended to do is crawl all documents (all have a unique ID) into Plumtree portal. I plan to set the parent folder ObjectID as a datasource parameter. Can anyone please tell me how to use the "parent folder ObjectID" in those 2 methods.
Thanks in advance,

Mihir,
For the top-level container, set parent folder Object ID equal to CrawlerConstants.TAG_PATH. I've only configured this via a custom SCI page in the Crawler admin object, so I'm not sure if it will work as a setting in the Data Source as you wish to do. You can try it in the data source and if it doesn't work, then try it in the Crawler. When set correctly, the portal will automatically call attachToContainer with sContainerLocation equal to whatever value you have for TAG_PATH.
For child containers, just set the sLocation in the ChildContainer equal to the folder ObjectID and the portal will use that as the value for sContainerLocation on its subsequent attachToContainer calls.

I've set this in the crawler UI, and I'm not sure if it will work in the data source.
