The code snippet provided below explains how users can create an empty document object and save it to a folder using Strategy Java Web SDK version 9.4.x.
 

import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebFolder;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebIServerSession;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectInfo;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectSource;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.WebObjectsFactory;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.rw.RWInstance;
import com.Strategy.web.objects.rw.RWSource;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLApplicationType;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLObjectFlags;
import com.Strategy.webapi.EnumDSSXMLObjectTypes;

public class CreateDocument {
 
 public static void main(String[] args) {

  String SessionID = "";

//  Create factory object.
   WebObjectsFactory factory=WebObjectsFactory.getInstance();
   WebIServerSession serverSession=factory.getIServerSession();                                                     
//  Set up session properties
   serverSession.setServerName("SERVERNAME");
   serverSession.setServerPort(0);
   serverSession.setProjectName("Strategy Tutorial");
   serverSession.setLogin("Administrator");
   serverSession.setPassword("");
 serverSession.setApplicationType(EnumDSSXMLApplicationType.DssXmlApplicationCustomApp);
     
   try {   
   SessionID = serverSession.getSessionID();
   RWSource rwSource = factory.getRWSource();
   WebObjectSource objsrc=factory.getObjectSource();
   objSrc.setFlags(EnumDSSXMLObjectFlags.DssXmlObjectFindHidden);

   //Get the template object of the document whose ID can be got from desktop by right clicking the Blank document and selecting
   //properties in Desktop at the path Project - Object Templates - Documents.In order to see the object templates folder enable the
   //option to display hidden object in desktop under Tools - Desktop Preferences - Desktop - Browsing

   WebObjectInfo objInfo = objSrc.getObject("8154998B41AE3328BBB70692605904E4", EnumDSSXMLObjectTypes.DssXmlTypeDocumentDefinition );
      objInfo.populate();
      String docId = objInfo.getID();
      RWInstance rwInst = rwSource.getNewInstance(docId);
      rwInst.pollStatus();

      //Get the folder object by passing the object ID
      WebFolder folder = (WebFolder)objSrc.getObject("19004E524AD7D9DA3160A29ABF0B5870", EnumDSSXMLObjectTypes.DssXmlTypeFolder);
   folder.populate();

   //Save the document under the required folder
   rwInst.saveAs(folder,"TestDoc","Document Created using SDK");

} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
 }
}
}
