readObjects() Method

Use this method to read a list of objects from the Presentation Catalog.

Signature

CatalogObject[] readObjects(String[] paths, boolean resolveLinks, ErrorDetailsLevel errorMode, String sessionID);

Argument
Description

String[] paths

Specifies the location of the objects in the Presentation Catalog.

boolean resolveLinks

If set to TRUE and the path in the Presentation Catalog refers to a link, then the object is written to the location pointed to by the link.

ErrorDetailsLevel errorMode

Specifies the amount of error information in the errorInfo field in the CatalogObjects structure. For more information, see CatalogObject Structure.

String sessionID

Specifies the session ID, which is usually returned by the logon method. If the SOAP client engine can handle HTTP cookies, you can omit the session ID or set it to null.

Returns

Returns an array of CatalogObjects.

NOTE:  If a read operation fails for a catalog object (for example, due to an invalid path or insufficient privileges), the errorInfo field for that object contains a description of the error.
