23.7 Summary
Documentum Foundation Classes (DFCs) are a set of Java interfaces and implementation classes that expose Documentum content management functionality.
In this chapter we briefly discussed the naming convention in DFC: the interfaces begin with IDf
and the classes begin with Df
. We further looked at the Documentum JARs that need to be specified in the system classpath for DFC to work correctly. We then covered detailed examples to explain how DFC can be used to programmatically create Docbase sessions, create and link files in Docbase cabinets, and create users in Documentum.
We also saw an example of running the Data Dictionary Publisher method in the Docbase via DFC.
