[deepamehta-devel] Creating Topics programmatically as part of Migrations

[Malte Reißig]

Dear developers,

I would like to understand how I am able to create new (custom) topics
programmatically while being able to edit these instances later on
through the webclient (while being logged in as e.g. "admin").

As I dont have a custom workspace in use, as the normal prerequisite I
associated all my custom topicTypes with the default workspace
DeepaMehta ("de.workspaces.deepamehta"). BTW: It would be nice if a
plugin could define some sort of default "Workspace" for all it's own
Topic- and AssociatonTypes.

Furthermore I related all newly created instances to the default
workspace through executing the following command in my Migration:

<code>

dms.createAssociation(new AssociationModel("dm4.core.aggregation",
    new TopicRoleModel(newTopic.getId(), "dm4.core.whole"),
    new TopicRoleModel("de.workspaces.deepamehta", "dm4.core.part")
), null);

</code>

Can one see if there's anything wrong with it, or explain if there is
something different I was not aware of yet? What else needs to be done
to not import topics which are editing wise "locked" contents.

Thankful for your help.

Greetings,
Malte
