4. Get the list of all Categories in Repository.

Method: getCategoryList

public java.util.Vector getCategoryList(UserInfo requestorUserInfo) throws LayoutHandlerException

This method returns a vector of Category objects. The method requests report server and returns the report categories present in the report repository, both public and private to requestor user. The public categories will be restricted to those categories that the requestorUserInfo has access to read. Each category object provides getIsPublic boolean method to identify the scope of category.

Parameters:

• RequestorUserInfo: UserInfo for authorization. Pass getEmptyInstance() in case of report server runs in Security-Off mode.

Returns:

Vector of Category objects.

Vector vecCatList= new Vector();

vecCatList=lm.getCategoryList(requestorUserInfo);

The other three APIs for getting Category List are-

1. Returns a vector of categories from the report server on the basis of filters

public Vector getCategoryList(Filter filter,UserInfo userInfo)

2. Returns a vector of report categories from the report server with given access rights

public Vector getCategoryList(int accessRight, UserInfo userInfo)
