Executing an XML Script

The package com.sap.portal.genericcreator contains the following interfaces and classes for creating content via an XML script:

`IGenericCreatorGatewayService`	An interface that represents a portal service that enables the creation of an `IGenericCreator` object
`IGenericCreator`	An interface that enables you to execute an XML script
`GenericCreatorParams`	A class that holds a reference to the user executing the script and the XML script
`IGenericCreatorResults`	An interface that contains the results from the execution of an XML script
`GenericCreatorResult`	A class that indicates whether the XML script was executed successfully, meaning that all objects and actions were created or performed successfully

To create content, create an instance of the IGenericCreator interface and execute the script.

Prerequisites

You have created well-formed and valid XML for the XML Content and Actions feature. More information: XML Content and Actions

Procedure

Get the IGenericCreator interface.

Syntax Syntax

IGenericCreatorGatewayService gwService = (IGenericCreatorGatewayService)
    PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(
        IGenericCreatorGatewayService.KEY);
IGenericCreator genericCreator = gwService.getGenericCreator();

End of the code.

Create a GenericCreatorParams class that contains the current user and the XML.

Syntax Syntax

GenericCreatorParams gcParams = new GenericCreatorParams(
    request.getUser(),getGCString());

private static String getGCString() {
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("<GenericCreator author="SAP" version="Testing" mode="clean,execute" report.level="success" createMode="1" default.locale="en" ignore="false">");
    sb.append("<Context parent="portal_content" name="test_folder" objectClass="com.sap.portal.pcd.gl.GlContext" title="Test folder">");
    sb.append("</Context></GenericCreator>");

    return sb.toString();
}

End of the code.

There are various constructors so that you can specify the parameters in the following ways:

User: IUser or String (logon ID or unique ID)
XML: String or InputStream

Execute the script and get the results, which indicate whether the script was executed successfully.
Syntax
1. ```
IGenericCreatorResults gcResults = genericCreator.generate(gcParams);
