problem with NamedValue class(urgent)

[pitti]

Hi
         NamedValue class takes the properties name and value in string type.How can i use this class with all the types that are supported by the alfresco model
        How to store the date , int and other types without any parsing problems.


Help need immidietely
    Thanks in advance

Hi,

All the property values are passed as strings and should be automatically converted back to the correct Alfresco recognised type before the value is stored on the server.

I'll add a unit test that shows this working, so it can be posted as an example here and will also serve to flush any issues out.

I'll get back to you,
Roy

Hi,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to about this.

When I tested setting various properties of different types via the web services it became evident there was a bug.

This has been fixed and the snipit below shows how different values can be set (Note:  this example can be found in RepositoryServiceSystemTest.java)

            // Now we can try and set all the various different types of properties
            NamedValue[] properties = new NamedValue[]{
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "textProp"), "some text"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "intProp"), "12"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "longProp"), "1234567890"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "floatProp"), "12.345"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "doubleProp"), "12.345"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "dateProp"), "2005-09-16T00:00:00.000+00:00"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "datetimeProp"), "2005-09-16T17:01:03.456+01:00"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "booleanProp"), "false"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "qnameProp"), "{http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0}testProperties"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "noderefProp"), "workspace://SpacesStore/123123123"),
                    Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.createQNameString("http://www.alfresco.org/model/webservicetestmodel/1.0", "textMultiProp"), new String[] {"firstValue", "secondValue", "thirdValue"}),                    
            };
            CMLUpdate cmlUpdate = new CMLUpdate(properties, new Predicate(new Reference[]{reference}, null, null), null);
            cml = new CML();
            cml.setUpdate(new CMLUpdate[]{cmlUpdate});
            WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService().update(cml);

This example uses a custom model and the createNamedValue method is available in a Utils class.
