- Method Detail
  - getFileTopic
```
Topic getFileTopic(String repoPath)
```
    Returns the File topic representing the file at a given repository path. If no such File topic exists it is created.
    
    Parameters:
    repoPath - A repository path. Relative to the repository base path. Must begin with slash, no slash at the end.
    If per-workspace file repos are active (dm4.filerepo.per_workspace=true) the repository path must contain the workspace prefix as the first path segment, e.g. "/workspace-1234" where 1234 is the workspace ID.
    However there is one exception to that rule: if and only if "/" is passed as the repository path the workspace prefix is determined automatically with the semantics of current workspace, based on the request's workspace cookie.
    For support with constructing a repository path see the pathPrefix methods.
    
    Returns:
    The File topic. Its child topics ("File Name", "Path", "Media Type", "Size") are included.
  - getFolderTopic
```
Topic getFolderTopic(String repoPath)
```
    Returns the Folder topic representing the folder at a given repository path. If no such Folder topic exists it is created.
    
    Parameters:
    repoPath - A repository path. Relative to the repository base path. Must begin with slash, no slash at the end.
    If per-workspace file repos are active (dm4.filerepo.per_workspace=true) the repository path must contain the workspace prefix as the first path segment, e.g. "/workspace-1234" where 1234 is the workspace ID.
    However there is one exception to that rule: if and only if "/" is passed as the repository path the workspace prefix is determined automatically with the semantics of current workspace, based on the request's workspace cookie.
    For support with constructing a repository path see the pathPrefix methods.
