How to get the "where used" of a portal object.

[Ramma]

Hi gurus!

I'm coding a program to get the list of the portal objects where a specific portal object (an iView for example) is used. I found the method getWhereUsedList from IPcdContext but I'm getting some errors.

Is this the best/correct way to get a "where used list"?

Does anyone have an example of how to use this method correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramma,

You say, you got some errors when using IPcdContext.getWhereUsedList . What exactly is the problem, what are the errors?

Hi Golfi,

I execute the method I wrote below an exception is being raised: Xfs Object not found: portal_content at ...
I think I'm not calling the method properly...

private void getWhereUsed(String id, String objectType, IPcdContext result, String breadCrumb, StringBuffer sb) { String objectId = null; String sName = null; try { sName = result.getNameInNamespace(); for (NamingEnumeration ne = result.getWhereUsedList(result.getNameInNamespace()); ne.hasMoreElements();) { objectId = (String) ne.nextElement(); if (objectId != null) { sb.append(SID + "|" + objectType + " Where Used|" + id + "|" + objectId + "|" + CR); } else { sb.append(SID + "|" + objectType + " Where Used|" + id + "| Object not used|" + CR); }  } } catch (Exception e) { sb.append(SID + "|" + objectType + " Where Used|" + id + "| Error getting where used list for:" + sName + "|" + e.getMessage() + CR); } }

Thanks again,

Ramma
