Hi Karthick,
Here is some of the *Typed *related api that can get you started.

*import wt.type.TypeDefinitionReference;
import wt.type.TypedUtilityServiceHelper;
import wt.type.Typed;
import com.ptc.core.meta.common.impl.WCTypeIdentifier;
import com.ptc.core.meta.server.TypeIdentifierUtility;*

TypeDefinitionReference typeDefRef =
TypedUtilityServiceHelper.service.getTypeDefinitionReference(objectType);

Typed typedobj;

typedObj.setTypeDefinitionReference(typeDefRef);

String type = ((WCTypeIdentifier)
TypeIdentifierUtility.getTypeIdentifier(typedObj)).getTypename();


Regards,
Prathap

Karthick -



You may also need this once your type is defined.



IBADefinitionHelper.service.createAttributeDefinition(AttributeDefDefaultVie
w arg0)







To create the object - check out how the GUI does it - this is most likely
the class:



com.ptc.core.meta.type.admin.server.impl.StandardTypeAdminService.newStandar
dTypeAdminService().createTypeNode(TypeDefinitionNodeView arg0, Locale
arg1);



which calls:



public TypeDefinitionNodeView createTypeNode(String s,
TypeDefinitionNodeView typedefinitionnodeview, Locale locale)

throws RemoteException, NotAuthorizedException,
WTContainerException, WTException

{





This class also has method for updating existing ones and handling the
checkin and checkout, etc.



Not tried to see if this works but this be a pointer in that direction.



Let us know if you get it working.

or you could just fetch ext.tools from pdmteam.com and use the
UpdateIBAs class (or parts ot the code)
also using the create-objects webject would be an option.
