Java clients are equipped with a wrapper class EntityPropertieswhich will help in forming the propertiesStringby specifying various properties forming the name value.
Add in Java
long parentZoneId; //Id of the parent Zone
EntityProperties properties = new EntityProperties();
properties.addProperty("TextUDF", "testTextValue");
properties.addProperty("IntegerUDF", "1005");
String propertyString = properties.getPropertiesString();
long zoneId = service.addZone( parentZoneId, "example.abc.com", propertyString );
Update in Java
APIEntity zone = service.getEntityById( zoneId );
EntityProperties properties = new EntityProperties(zone.getProperties()); //
Populate with the existing values and then update the only properties which need to
be modified.
properties.addProperty("TextUDF", "testTextValue");
properties.addProperty("IntegerUDF", "1005");
zone.setProperties(properties.getPropertiesString());
service.update(zone);
