WebCerver Content: how to reproduce a big folder structure in one shot?

Question

Hello everybody,
I'm a newbie on this tool and I need to get if, given a complex share that contains several nested folders,
I can import the whole folders structure and its content accordingly and in such a way to replicate the structure with its metadata.
Are there some kind of APIs to make such a custom and massive copy/checkin of folders and files?
I would appreciate help.

It is called RIDC API.
Good luck to find everything you need in the documentation. This is a nightmare, too much stuff for nothing.
Start with these documents :
Developer's Guide for Remote Intradoc Client (RIDC)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16819/toc.htm
Oracle WebCenter Content Services Reference Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28389_01/doc.1111/e11011/toc.htm
Here is how you can create folders :
public class RIDCBean {
IdcClientManager man = null;
IdcClient idcClient = null;
IdcContext idcContext = null;
public RIDCBean() {
man = new IdcClientManager();
try {
idcClient = man.createClient("idc://localhost:4444"); // ucm server connection
idcContext = new IdcContext("weblogic", "welcome1"); // ucm credentials
} catch (IdcClientException e) {
// log4j...
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
     private void createPublicFolder(String folderName, String parentFolderName, String comment) {
          try {
               DataBinder dbinder = idcClient.createBinder();
               dbinder.putLocal("IdcService", "COLLECTION_ADD");
               dbinder.putLocal("dCollectionName", folderName);
               dbinder.putLocal("dCollectionOwner", idcContext.getUser());
               dbinder.putLocal("dDocTitle", folderName);
               dbinder.putLocal("dSecurityGroup", "Public");
               dbinder.putLocal("hasParentCollectionID", "true");
               dbinder.putLocal("dParentCollectionID", getFolderCollectionId(parentFolderName));
               dbinder.putLocal("ignoreMaxFolderLimit", "");
               dbinder.putLocal("dCollectionCreator", "weblogic"); // if user is admin, can specify other user
               dbinder.putLocal("dCollectionModifier", "weblogic"); // if user is admin, can specify other user
               dbinder.putLocal("dDocAuthor", "weblogic"); // if user is admin, can specify other user
               dbinder.putLocal("xComments", comment);
               idcClient.sendRequest(idcContext, dbinder);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               // log4j...
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
