How to use a field using the user suggestion widget ?

pibou_Bouvret — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:48:09 GMT

I have a field called reviewers (multi valued string) it is populated thanks to the user suggestion widget i d like to use its content for a setACE operation in a chain but i get a casting error :

No type adapter found for input: class [Ljava.lang.String; and output class java.lang.String

I already made it, but can't remember how 😞

Did you try the run for each operation with a sub operation.

unforunately, i'm running a 5.4.2 project and the the "run for each " operation seems to be 5.5

So if you are on 5.4.2, you have 2 solutions :

Upgrade your Nuxeo to 5.6 😄
Or if you have some development skills create your operation with Nuxeo IDE.

With Nuxeo IDE it will be really quick to do that :

I let you look the Nuxeo IDE installation documentation : http://doc.nuxeo.com/x/ZYKE
Then you create a new Nuxeo Plugin Project (click on the yellow button > new Nuxeo Plugin name it > next > next )
Create a new Operation (click on the yellow button > new Operation > name it > Next > Next )

And finally you fill the operation :

@Operation(id = YourOpertion.ID, category = Constants.CAT_SUBCHAIN_EXECUTION, label = "Run For Each", description = "") public class YourOpertion {

 public static final String ID = "YourOpertion";

 @Context
 protected OperationContext ctx;

 @Context
 protected AutomationService service;

 @Param(name = "id")
 protected String chainId;

 @Param(name = "list")
 protected String listName;

 @Param(name = "item", required = false, values = "item")
 protected String itemName = "item";

 @Param(name = "isolate", required = false, values = "true")
 protected boolean isolate = true;

 @OperationMethod
 public void run() throws Exception {
     Map<String, Object> vars = isolate ? new HashMap<String, Object>(
             ctx.getVars()) : ctx.getVars();
     OperationContext subctx = new OperationContext(ctx.getCoreSession(),
             vars);
     subctx.setInput(ctx.getInput());
     for (Object value : (Collection<?>) ctx.get(listName)) {
         subctx.put(itemName, value);
         service.run(subctx, chainId);
     }
 }

}
