Hello Liferay Community,

liferay-ce-portal-7.3.3-ga4

I have a requirement to read excel data and put it under web content and sort them into different folders and subfolders. How to do achieve this?

All I found is creating files and folders under Documents and Media library

• https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028725672-Creating-Folders

Follow these steps to create a folder with the DLAppService method addFolder:

1. Get a reference to DLAppService:

   @Reference
   private DLAppService _dlAppService;
   

2. Get the data needed to populate the addFolder method’s arguments. Since it’s common to create a folder with data submitted by the end user, you can extract the data from the request. This example does so via javax.portlet.ActionRequest and ParamUtil:

   long repositoryId = ParamUtil.getLong(actionRequest, "repositoryId");
   long parentFolderId = ParamUtil.getLong(actionRequest, "parentFolderId");
   String name = ParamUtil.getString(actionRequest, "name");
   String description = ParamUtil.getString(actionRequest, "description");
   
   ServiceContext serviceContext = ServiceContextFactory.getInstance(
               DLFolder.class.getName(), actionRequest);
   

1. Call the service reference’s addFolder method with the data from the previous step:

   Folder folder = _dlAppService.addFolder(
                           repositoryId, parentFolderId, name, description, 
                           serviceContext);
   

   The method returns a Folder object, which this example sets to a variable for later use. Note, however, that you don’t have to do this.

Please let me know or guide me on how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.
