Hi Group,

 

What's the difference between IDfClientX interface and IDfClient interface.

is it required to use IDfClientX, if so, where exactly and why ??

 

When

IDfClientX clientx = new DfClientX();

IDfClient client = clientx.getLocalClient();

can simply be replaced with

IDfClient client = DfClient.getLocalClient();

 

then why exaclty do we need the "X" one ???

 

Pawan, if you could also give ur expert comment.

 

Thanks in advance.

IDFClientx is used for whenever if you want to communication between com and java.

IDFClient:

 

This interface provides functionality to establish and manage sessions with a Documentum server, and provides
information about the server before a session is established

IDfclientx

 

An interface that provides factory methods and methods to facilitate DFC access through COM.

 

If you think your code might ever have to run in the Microsoft COM environment, it is a good practice always to use the
factory methods of IDfClientX, even from Java

 

Other than that there is no difference in usage.

 

IDfClient client = DfClient.getLocalClient();

 

or

 

IDfClientX clientx = new DfClientX();

 

IDfClient client = clientx.getLocalClient();

 

As getLocaClient() method of DFClient() implementation is as given below..

 

public IDfClient getLocalClient()

throws DfException

{

if(DfTrace.s_traceLevel >= 2)

traceAPI("getLocalClient"«»);

IDfClient idfclient = DfClient.getLocalClient();

if(DfTrace.s_traceLevel >= 2)

traceAPIExit((DfObject)idfclient);

return idfclient;

}

 

Here we can find the method has nothing much except the same

 

IDfClient client = DfClient.getLocalClient() method call.

 

 

 

Hope this will be helpful.

Hi,

The difference that i found is that IDfClientX is that support of IDfOperations methods... that are not available in IDfClient
to support the Document operations eg import, export, rendition etc which is recommended methods. Pls correct me if m
worng. Thanks for ur reply.
