This is my Sharepoint site http://sp2k13/sites/ifsp/ and I would like to create a folder using Sharepoint RESTFul API with Java.

I have already gone through Working with folders and files with REST in sharepoint msdn.

But how to do it with Java? I think it will be possible.

  • Do you want to create folders in document library or lists?

  • You need only REST solution or JavaScript Object Model is fine with you?

  • In my experience, creating Folders using REST does not work correctly. When you create a Folder in SharePoint it actually creates the Folder and an associated List Item. It's the List Item that shows in the List View in the SharePoint UI. When you create a Folder using the REST API, it just creates the Folder. I've reported this issue on the Office 365 Dev User Voice. Commented Feb 4, 2016 at 23:58

You can do something similar as below

String req = "http://sp2k13/sites/ifsp/_api/Web/Folders/add('LibraryName/FolderName')"
NTCredentials credentials = new NTCredentials(UserName, Password, "JAVA-MACHINE-NAME", "DOMAIN");
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
httpClient.getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, credentials);
httpClient.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);

ClientExecutor clientExecutor = new ApacheHttpClientExecutor(httpClient);
java.net.URI uri = new java.net.URI(req);
ClientRequestFactory fac = new ClientRequestFactory(clientExecutor, uri);

ClientRequest request = fac.createRequest(req);
request.header("content-type", "application/json;odata=verbose");
request.header("X-RequestDigest", digestValue);
request.accept("application/json;odata=verbose");

ClientResponse<String> response = request.post(String.class);

if (response.getStatus() != 200) {
    throw new RuntimeException("Failed : HTTP error code : " +
        response.getStatus());
}

JShare uses REST protocol to access to SharePoint and Office 365.

I found on the net Jshare. It's Java API for Microsoft SharePoint from Independentsoft company. There is an example of creating a directory on their site.
