Looking up Admin Folder ID based on folder name

Question

I need to lookup the folder ID based on the name, regardless of which level of parent folder it resides on. I can't seem to do this using an object manager. What's the easiet way to accomplish this regardless of the admin folder level? I'd really appreciate any sample code.
Thanks.

Answer 1

get an IPTAdminCatalog object from IPTSession:
IPTSession.GetAdminCatalog()
then get the root folder off IPTAdminCatalog:
IPTAdminCatalog. GetRootAdminFolder()
then call IPTAdminFolder.QuerySubfolders() with an appropriate query filter limiting to a certain name.
Here's the javadocs on QuerySubfolders():
QuerySubfolders
public IPTQueryResult QuerySubfolders(int lPropIDMask,
                                      int lDepth,
                                      int vOrderBy,
                                      int lSkipRows,
                                      int lMaxRows,
                                      java.lang.Object[][] vQueryFilter)
    Queries the subfolders. This can be immediate (depth 0 or child depth 1).
    Parameters:
        lPropIDMask - prop ids to query
        lDepth - 0 or 1
        vOrderBy - can be an Object[][] with 2 columns and one row. The first column holds the property ID to order by, from PT_PROPIDS. The second column holds the order to order, from PT_ORDERBY_SETTINGS
        lSkipRows - number of rows to skip at the beginning, or 0 for none
        lMaxRows - maximum number of rows to return, or -1 for all
        vQueryFilter - is a 2D array with 3 columns. The first column holds the property id, from PT_PROPIDS. The second column holds the operator, from PT_FILTEROPS. The third column holds the value to be matched.
    Returns:
        IPTQueryResult
