AttributedObject attributedObjects[]=ci.getRelations() throws null pointer exception

Hi,

I am using VCM 7.6.. When any content instance is unpublished, I am consuming the ManagedObjectDelete event through a listener, in the delivery DA.

The content instance has one relation with other table and I need to get the values in that related table. I used

AttributedObject attributedObjects[]=ci.getRelations()

But, it is throwing a null pointer exception.... It works fine when publishing... but when unpublishing it is not working

I don't understand. Is it the ci which is null ?

Be aware that ci.getRelations() might indeed return null, so you should always have a check in your code.

AttributedObject attributedObjects[]=ci.getRelations();

if(attributedObjects != null && attributedObjects.length > 0){

....

}

-m

Sometimes it is returning null and sometimes it is returning values. This happens only for unpublish action (MANAGEDOBJECTDELETE) but not for publish action..

I guess the thread is started after the content instance is removed from the delivery stage. So, it is throwing null because of that?? Is this right? I need to get the primary key of that related table.. I was getting this through the following way for publishing events

AttributedObject attributedObjects[]=ci.getRelations("VGN-CONTENT-PUBLISHDETAILS");

for(AttributedObject attributeObject:attributedObjects){

for(AttributeData attributeData:attributeObject.getAttributes()){

if(attributeData.getName().equals("PUBLISHDETAILS-PUBLISHDETAILSOWNERID")){

publishDetailsOwnerID=(Integer)attributeData.getValue();

}

if(attributeData.getName().equals("PUBLISHDETAILS-PUBLISHDETAILSID")){

publishDetailsID=(String)attributeData.getValue();

}

This is not working for unpublish events
