com::sun::star::ucb::XContentCreator
Description
This interface is implemented according to the specification of service Content .

An object representing a directory in the file system is able to create a new object, which in turn can become the representation of a physical file/directory being contained in the initial directory. The precise way is the following:

  1. Let the parent folder create a new content by calling XContentCreator::createNewContent on it. The content type to use for new directories is "application/vnd.sun.staroffice.fsys-folder". To create a new file use the type "application/vnd.sun.staroffice.fsys-file". As return value you get a new file content object.
  2. Set a title at the new object by letting it execute the command "setPropertyValues", which sets at least the property "Title" to a non-empty value ).
  3. Let the new object ( not the parent! ) execute the command "insert". This will create the corresponding physical file or directory. For files, you need to supply the implementation of an XInputStream with the command's parameters, that provides access to the stream data.
