RAMClient: Creating new version contains bad content

Currently, I am using the RAM Client against a v7.2.0.2 server. I am attempting to do the following: 


RAMAsset newAsset = session.createAssetNewVersion(existingAsset, "1.1", statusMonitor);



LocalFolderArtfact folderArtifact = new LocalFolderArtifact("./newContent");

newAsset.setArtifactsRoot(folderArtifact);

...

session.putAssets(...);


The existingAsset is "1.0" and has one file: testv1.pdf.
The newAsset has one or more files in "./newContent" none of them are testv1.pdf.

This code is successful as a new asset v1.1 is created with all of the expected attributes and categories. However, when I look at the content of v1.1, there is also a testv1.pdf. When I click on testv1.pdf from the web client, I get the following:

"Artifact testv1.pdf not found in asset "Test Asset" version 1.0"

If I try to go to the General Details for v1.1, I get an exception: 


jvax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Error getting property 'showAssetContents" from bean of type pagecode.assetDetail.GeneralDetails: NullPointerException
(Unfortunately, this is on another system so I don't have the full trace.)

Why does the newAsset.setArtifactsRoot(folderArtifact); not remove all of the existing content from the cloned asset? Essentially, I want to create a new version of the asset and keep all attributes and categories, but wipe out the entire contents.

Hi,
when newAsset.setArtifactsRoot(folderArtifact) called it will copy some info including artifactes from old version asset to new. I think the problem you met it's a defect we have fixed in ram's later release.

What about:

FolderArtifact root = newAsset.getArtifactsRoot();
root.setChildren(new Artifact[0]);

Hi Gili,
I was told setChildren() is not not executable, when I tried with your answer. Here is the exception:

Here is a another way to remove all artifacts in asset, maybe not that effective. 

RAMFolderArtifact root = (RAMFolderArtifact) newAsset.getArtifactsRoot();

        for(Artifact art:root.getChildren()){

            root.removeArtifact(art);

        }
