Getting IllegalArgumentException when submitting an AIKAU form

[satheeshkumar]

Hi All,

I have a custom AIKAU form, which contains few text boxes and a dynamic list(created by SimplePicker widget), when I submit this form I am getting IllegalArgumentException.

//My Custom Model defintion<type name="hccm:productTypeFolder">         <title>Product Type Folder</title>         <parent>cm:folder</parent>         <properties>            <property name="hccm:prefix">               <type>d:text</type>               <mandatory>true</mandatory>                           </property>            <property name="hccm:imageLibraryList">               <type>d:text</type>               <mandatory>false</mandatory>               <multiple>true</multiple>            </property>                                 </properties>               </type>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It looks like the values in the collections should be serializable, but I am not sure how to make this dynamic list to be serializable, can you please help me on this.

This isn't really a specific Aikau issue, but rather how you're using Aikau to construct your form POST. It's quite tricky to follow because you're using a custom model so we'd need to know what your model can accept.

Hi Dave,

I just used my own custom PublishTopic instead of "ALF_CRUD_CREATE", and used custom post webscript to post the data, now I am able to submit the data without any issues.

Hi Satheesh,
Have you made any specific changes in the custom topic when comparing with ALF_CRUD_CREATE?
Can you please post your custom topic details here? I am very much interested to find out the details. 🙂

Hi Murali,

I Have created a custom web-script to handle the post request and created a custom service to subscribe the custom topic.
