Spaces Management

The following example will show how to create a space:


package org.exoplatform.social.sample;


import org.exoplatform.container.PortalContainer;

import org.exoplatform.social.application.impl.DefaultSpaceApplicationHandler;

import org.exoplatform.social.space.Space;

import org.exoplatform.social.space.SpaceException;

import org.exoplatform.social.space.SpaceService;


public class SpaceCreationSample {


  public void createSpace() throws SpaceException {

    String spaceName = "mySpace";

    String creator = "jeremi";

    PortalContainer container = PortalContainer.getInstance();

    SpaceService spaceService = (SpaceService) container.getComponentInstanceOfType(SpaceService.class);

    // verify if there is no space already created

    Space space = spaceService.getSpaceByDisplayName(spaceName);

    if (space == null) {

      space = new Space();

      space.setDisplayName(spaceName);

      space.setRegistration(Space.OPEN);

      space.setDescription("space description"); 

      //DefaultSpaceApplicationHander is the default implementation of SpaceApplicationHandler. You can create your own by extending SpaceApplicationHandler. The default type is "classic" (DefaultSpaceApplicationHandler.NAME = clasic)

      space.setType(DefaultSpaceApplicationHandler.NAME);

      //create the space

      space = spaceService.createSpace(space, creator);

      //initialize the applications

      spaceService.initApps(space);

      

    }

  }

}
