| Description | Categories provide a system for organizing content. Unlike tags, which have no
hierarchical structure, and which can be created and applied by anyone, categories
are created by the Administrator, and are hierarchical in nature. For example, You
might have a Europe category, and then sub-categories such as France, Germany, Spain,
and so on. The top Category in the hierarchical structure is known as the Root
Category. The CategoryService API provides methods to perform actions such as the following:
|
| Deployment - App Server | Deploy as AMP or Simple Module (JAR) package. |
| Deployment - SDK Project | Use SDK archetypes to produce AMP or Simple Module. |

| Java example |
// To create a root category:
NodeRef newRootCat = categoryService.createRootCategory(
spacesStore,
ContentModel.ASPECT_GEN_CLASSIFIABLE,
"newRootCat");
// To create a category
NodeRef newCategory = categoryService.createCategory(newRootCat, "newCategory");
