Hi all,
I am trying to read the vCenter inventory step by step (not recursive) to lazy fill a TreeView. Starting with the rootFolder I want to get deeper into the vCenter structure without having to differ if the child object is a HostSystem, ClusterComputeResource, Folder, Datacenter, ...
For each Folder I can use folder.getChildEntity();
But how do I get the childs of all the others (Datacenter, ClusterComputeResource,...) ? I saw some examples using the InventoryNavigator, but they all used rootFolder as start. Is it somehow possible to pass any ManagedEntity?
I think of an method like this:
public static ManagedEntity[] returnChilds (ManagedEntity mE){
// get all childs of mE (HostSystem, ClusterComputeResource, Datacenter, Folder, VM)
ManagedEntity[] mEs = mE.getChilds();
// and return them
return mEs;
}
Any help would be appreciated!
Greatings, Chris
